Have you looked at Bodo's CL results. They have only narrowly lost. Scored two against Juve and held spurs and Dortmund to a 2-2 draw.

These are not a gimme, we cannot just play a bunch of kids and expect to beat them.

Getting the excuses in early are you.

Bodo’s13 million euros total spend on players in 2 years compared to pep’s 600 million is a ‘ nothing to see here , move on’ pmsl

We should batter them and there will be no hiding place for the manager if we don’t .

They're 32nd and haven't won a game! The team lineup you've suggested cost us over £300m! Add Marmoush to that (who I think will start) and that's near £400m

If we can't beat Bodo with the best manager in the world and £400m worth of players playing we've got problems.

They are a decent team, to be honest.
If anyone remembers Rosenborg from late 90s early 00s, they are about the same.

But we should be cruisin'.

Facts are Facts. Try and do some research.

We got beat at home by spurs, they didn't, but you think they are just going to rollover and have their tummy tickled.

So, the most expensive players will win the game?! We should just all pack up and go home. No point in watching it then, cause thats what always happens isn't it.

I did my research - near on 600 million on players compared to their 13 million on players in the last 2 years.
Fucking right I’d expect nothing less than a win.

This should be as near to a guaranteed win as you can get , even with players suspended, not eligible or injured.

I 'm more interested in how Pep will approach this game . I'd go for getting it won early doors then cycling through the becn to rest players. One player i'd keep on all game is Haaland because he needs to find his scoring boots

Donnarumma,

Lewis - Khusanov - Alleyne - Ait-Nouri

Reijnders - Rodri (C) - O'Reilly

Foden - Haaland - Cherki

Pretty similar. Rodri must have given Pep the green light, he would not have risked him if not.

Yep , we need to tread carefully tonight - it’s going to be a tester !

Once again these fixtures demonstrate how out of balance the squad is. In other words we do not have a elite pair of fullbacks.
