If anyone is interested in wanting to scout Galatasaray, they play their league game at 5pm UK time today at home to Besiktas. It's 3rd vs 2nd.

Don't want to play a game where Matic isn't involved.

Could just go with the same team that played against Arsenal in December, look to keep it tight and hit them on the break.

Cech

Ivanovic Cahill Terry Azpi

Ramires Mikel Lampard

Willian Torres Hazard

Yay...a team with Mikel in it. Could throw Luiz in the middle instead of one of Lamps or Mikel. Bizarrely disinterested in this match, mostly because I'd like to see us focus on being the best in England this season.

[Jase 43,479]

Just 1 early team related news. Mikel is one yellow card away from serving a one game suspension in the Champions League.

Jose will play for a draw on Wednesday.

Something like this would be nice:

From I saw from them in the group stage, they're a pretty physical team which might be a problem if we allow them to play the way they want to play. On the other hand, they're rather slow and will struggle to deal with our AMs.

4-3-3. No doubt about it. Owcar should be dropped.

Just watched the Galatasaray - Besiktas match. Galatasaray were bloody awful. Anything less than a win is a poor result for us.

[duo11bluecl 207]

0-0 draw with us not having a single shot on target.

Team: Cech

Mikel Ramires Luiz(if he is fit)

Willian Eto'o Hazard

Hope he gets it then so he is suspended for the return leg where no matter what happens he isn't needed

Well it is pretty much vice-versa. We were pretty awful today and taking your word, so were they yet we both won 1-0 That is football sometimes. Wednesday night will be a whole different spectacle. I will be happy with a score draw tbh as going to Istanbul is no easy task contrary to what others may think.
