You can see where the lyon manager is coming from with that elderly midfield. sonny anderson will also be beaming when looking at it

Exactly. They will run over our midfield. It's obvious what we need, but we keep using Rakitic and not selling him. We need some fresh legs badly.

Me after seeing that midfield.....

:lol::lol::lol:

Think I'm gonna bet a fiver on Lyon+both to score, just for fun. Gonna end up happy either way. :p Well, unless we totally drop the ball and lose to nil, but i have confidence that Messi and possibly Dembele will get us at least an away goal.

Tactically, I don't think there's going to be any surprises, Lyon will play high pressure, insane pace, force physically.

From what I have seen on the internet, it appears we are the underdogs today. Almost everybody is predicting Lyon to win.

I will be very happy if we pull a Real Madrid vs. Ajax last week, getting outplayed and outgunned for almost the entire game and got helped by the referee and got out with a win.

And any draw with away goal(s) scored would be a good result for us today.

I am not talking about betting companies, I am talking about netizens that I saw online. Overwhelmingly predicting our demise and your victory.

I think the players will find a whole new kind of motivation for CL this year, so I'm not that nervous.. Although with Vidal-Raktic in midfield it will be hard to create :nervous:
I hope either Coutinho or Alena starts in midfield along with Raktic or Vidal, we need some creativity from behind as well.
