Really? You don't think this sort of team would be able to get a win (I'm no expert on Köln fwiw).

Ospina, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Mertesacker, Chambers, Monreal, Elneny, Wilshere, Iwobi, Walcott, Giroud

I'm no expert on Koln either, but they're clearly a decent Bundesliga team, and sending out 11 lads who have never played together before as a team is asking for an absolute hiding.

Their first European match for 25 years according to my Koln-supporting chum who wanted me to get him a ticket. I found him a ticket but he had to drive here from Germany on the day and back the same night so I talked him out of it for the sake of his three-week old daughter.
