  • I?m drawing two things from tonight?s CL

    Barca aren?t very good.
    City don?t have great depth as a squad and struggle without Haaland.

    Chelsea were very good although Barcelona did look pretty weak.

    Agree about Manchester City as well; they made too many changes.

    Auba's still got it.

      Think we may have a bit of a problem on Sunday. Can't see them failing to score.... we take a score draw and get out of there, right?

        A draw would be an ok result. I think they?re going to be our biggest threat, however, if you scroll through their fixtures to date, they?ve had a good run with the lower league sides.They?ve lost at home to both Brighton & Sunderland. They also lost away at United.

          A great opportunity to go and knock them out of the race and show the rest of the league what happens when you dare to threaten us.....

          At least, that is how champions would view the game.

            We must win every game, especially against them. Imagine beating the world champions!

              Another thing is nobody else has shown they can "control" their opponent in the way we do in practically every match.

                Basically what you're saying is that we're going to dog-walk them in their own back yard?

                  I said on X last night, no way any Spanish side wins the CL this season.

                    Far be it for me to predict results but, yes. We mustn't forget they HAVE to win.

                      Apparently young Pedri was a huge loss for Barcelona. And Real Madrid's players are supposedly in open mutiny against their manager

                        Amen.

                        I'm not big on 'statement' wins, and I'm not sure winning there will really prove much to other people.

                        But this team need to go and do this twice a week, every week, for the rest of the season. Smacking Chelsea around might just be the win that convinces them they can do it. A belief they are going to need when we go to City later in the season.....

                          Also it's my favourite fixture in all of football, Chelsea away. Something about the colours.

                          And it was my first big game; Alan Kennedy scored a couple.

                            I went once, not as bad as spurs but still pretty unpleasant.
