I fully expect it to be the usual Europa League team. I always think that if you go that route, then you should stick to it.
Quite a serious side effect mate
Aside from wanting to win because I always want to win and we want to keep momentum up, I’m really not fussed about tonight’s result. We could win the group and still end up with Sociedad, Milan, Leverkusen or Benfica, who are better than any of the champions league third place anyway, and there’s still a chance of Lille, Napoli or Rangers which will also be tough, especially Napoli. As such, full rotation please.
Random thought, could Vinicius play if we drew Benfica?
I think so, I doubt they’d have specified otherwise given that they’d like us to buy him.Random thought, could Vinicius play if we drew Benfica?
I want to win just to win the group, I think that would be a good momentum builder for the team and would also be good to get the Europa league players a win to build on. But honestly, if we play well and rest Kane/Son/Lloris/Hojbjerg/Reguilon/Toby/Dier then I am fine with the result.
Agreed. Our 2nd string is a lot better than Antwerp, so it would be nice if there was no fuss tonight.
Dele on the bench
Bale, Lo Celso, Lucas and Vinicius start.
