Taking away goalscoring issues, failure to progress to the 1/4s now would and should surely alert the authorities to match rigging.
I don’t know if that means we should start a couple of the double barrelled surname lads, I think not simply because we have four days before we play again and after that, two and a half weeks
Give them 45 minutes by all means but might as well start with strongest available XI, even if PSV rest a few individuals
Anyway 0-7, Septuple goals from Venegoor of Hesselink
Neto
White (some kid, we must have central defenders in the youth team) Kiwior Tierney
Partey Jorg
Zin
Kabia NBO Sterling
Not far off,
Raya, White, Gabriel, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly, Jorginho, Zinchenko, Rice, Tierney, Merino, Sterling
I think we will lose the game with a lineup like that. Just as well we have a six goal cushion
Dreadful line up. :lol:
You think Raya, Rice, Gabriel, MLS and White are dreadful? :shrug:
I have to say not to play Neto is utterly ridiculous - why TF did we even bother getting him if he can't start in a dead rubber like this?
I don’t think he said that, he said the lineup was dreadfulQuote:

I know injuries have fucked us but after the all the money spent and we line up in a CL knockout tie with a front three of Tierney, Merino and Sterling…
Must win.
1-0 Zinchenko
ZINCHENKO!!!
Zin ! :haha:
Looking like we might be safe now...? :lol:
I would 8-1 be a PSV fan :cool:
What’s the record aggregate score for a CL knockout tie?
1-1 Perisic.
Bayern Munich got a 13-2 or something against Sporting.Quote:

Perisic should be booked there
RICE!!!
Whoa Sterling did something.
2-1 Rice, nice work from Sterling
I would 9-2 be a PSG fan :cool:
That's never a yellow for Kiwior
"PSV" surely? :haha:Quote:

2-1 (9-2) HT
It's done
He really should bring on Kabia and NBO soon
It was before the start really.Quote:

well absolutely, but I'm just trying to put it in terms of what Arteta's super-cautious approach would consider 'done'Quote:

can't believe it he's bringing on Leo and Calal not the young guys
Arteta is such a c**t
We can't be absolutely sure we'll hold on to a 7 goal lead at home.
2-2 wow what a finish.
looks like you could be rightQuote:

He's probably like Leo, good when he's running onto the ball from the wing but our slow possession based game would probably stifle him like it stifles Leo when he plays in the middleQuote:

what does that say to the young players if they can't get on when we're 6 goals ahead
They aren’t good enough?
good enough for what? to hold onto a 6 goal lead? when they're attacking players not defenders?
