Match Topic Atletico Madrid (h) - European Cup, Weds 11 March, 8pm. BT Sport.

[psl]

Let's f*** these game raising, bus parking pricks up.

No question our players were annoyed by their celebrations and Simeone's antics. Virgil and Robbo's interview told us that.

'In Istanbul, we won it again'.

3-1, Bobby to score.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Adrian

Williams, Lovrem, Matip, Larouci

Lallana, Chirivella, Jones

Eliott Origi Kane

Bench

TAA Robbo VVD Mane Mo Bobby Hendo

[Ed the Wool]

Macca you mad b*****d. 
 

[psl]

The corresponding fixture against Bayern last year was when things really clicked in to gear.

Can't shake this feeling Jurgen might do something unexpected with the team but not sure what that might be.

Maybe it's time for Naby's defining moment.

[DazzlaJ]

Who's the ref? Feels more important then it should be.

[growler]

3-1, with a 4th in injury time for us to make it 4-1. 

[Swipe]

Bobby to score. Hopefully Hendo back.

Need a big game from Adrian. 

[D.Boon]

I'd go functional midfield to make sure we are solid and put it all on the front 3 to smash them up.

[Swipe]

Hendo, Fab and Gini hopefully. If the former doesn’t make it I’d be tempted with Milner over AOC.

[D.Boon]

Yeah id go Milner if needed as well. Bring Ox or Minamino on later if we can't break then down 

[Conrad]

be a bit surprised if he risks Henderson.

 

Presume it will be the same team as yesterday, with Robertson back in.

[cocknose]

I should know better but I really dont have a good feeling about this game

I do.

Had a bad feeling about Chelsea but feel confident about this one. This is our competition and the team want to put it right.

[Sion]

I think if we get an early goal or two their a*** will go like Barca. Ultimately they're not very good. They executed a good game plan in the first leg, but if they get rocked that'll go out the window. 

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

Trent, Minamino and Jones midfield.

[Bogman]

Think we'll turn up for this. 

I'm expecting our A game.

I wish I could feel like that. I just don’t see how they all suddenly come into form.

Score the first goal and then we will see. 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

because the stakes are higher now,  we'll have our eye in

Yep. Form will go out the window. We'll be right Up for this.

[Swipe]

Agree that an early goal will hopefully rock them. The crowd should be bang up for it.

Agree with this. It's the last thing they'll be expecting and the elements of surprise is as good as a goal. 

Bench looks too strong though. Although I do like the surprise factor of no 'keeper on there. 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Aye - I'd be tempted to start with Baros too - we could always sub him if he's rubbish in the knowledge that if we need a goal later we can bring him back on

 

Ibe's cup-tied though

[Cam]

Hoping we sign Babbel in time... 

[Hassony]

Think we'll win 3-1 with a lateish winner

It's us conceding early that's the worry. Cant have any fancying about. They'll come at us early.
