Fast and swift?
Can we add in rapid, speedy and quick?

Don't think we registered them in the squad

Kind of looking forward to this - hoping the team selection will be a bit more flair based and exciting than the dour choices that tend to make up our PL teams. Ideally see Gil, start reintegrating N'dombele etc.

I expect a much changed side with lots of youngsters. I also expect us to lose. Manager of the month curse to continue for another week or so I reckon.

I think this result only matters in terms of a performance and confidence going into Chelsea. In terms of winning the group it doesn’t take our destiny out of our hands. But it is important to win the group if you come 2nd you play 2 extra games in January or February.

I hope people remember these were a CL team last season and only lost 1-2 at home to Chelsea last season and have spent £70m this summer. Any sort of win would be excellent result a draw decent.

Nah, they’re out theyre 2 best players from last year in Doku and Camavinga. They’re in 11th place in Ligue 1 and have only won in 1/5 games. Anything other than a win would be a massive embarrassment.

We're nailed on to lose.

 

[Saoirse]

Whatever team we put out, I hope we take this seriously. It's a chance at a cup and to get back to Europa League football - not to be sniffed at given our last couple of years and the amount of competition even for 6th in the PL now.

Reminds me of when a journo collared Gordon Strachan after a game and said 'Could we have a quick word Gordon?' to which Strachan replied ' Yes, sure. Velocity', and then walked off.

Be nice to see Gil and Ndombele starting. I think that’s as far as my excitement goes.

That’s all I wanted to see vs Palace because of our injuries, the fact that neither featured at all was so frustrating

 

[Tucker]

We had any team news yet?

 

[TheTanguy]

At least Bryan Gil and Ndombele start.

 

[hero]

At least Bryan Gil, Lo Celso and Ndombele start

Lo Celso is in Croatia now....

Gil and tanguy. Nice.

 

[hughy]

Saving Winks for Chelsea, good move.

 

[adam_n17]

Very good lineup. Hopefully a more enjoyable game than saturday

 

[ZiggySpurs]

Does that mean Gil in midfield?

That looks to be his position tbh.

Happy to see Rodon and Gil starting.

Let’s hope Ndombele pulls it out the bag tonight, will be interesting to see him starting alongside Skipp.
