DANILA 290 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Same lineup as against CP except James for CHO for defensive stability and Kante for Kova bc of injury. FA cup not important given our position in UCL and the league; we were dreadful in the first leg and need to score first to seal it off Edited April 13, 2021 by DANILA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Today is the first day of Ramadan. So if Mendy or Kante make stupid errors and have concentration issues we know its bc they have torched some brain cells by needlessly dedydrating themselves. Darwin would have rejoiced.

Always remember how Liverpool shat away the CL final 2018 partly due to fasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is their profession and they need to take care of their body. Fasting takes a massive toll on that. It's well known in Islam that if you are unable to fast, you must give to charity instead.

Jase 43,479 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 I'd be surprised if Tuchel rotates as much as some of the predicted line-ups here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyikolajevics 2,700 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Not nervous at all.. I think the boys will nail it without stress. Anyways, if we fuck up against Porto starting from 0-2 then we shouldn’t face Real Madrid. Beigl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I am nervous. This is a different team than what we played last week. A team that has scoring players back. A team that has nothing to lose. I hope we absorb what is thrown at us, but it is not a cake walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I imagine Tuchel feels they are going to come at us and we can get behind them with that attacking three. I love he is not looking at this from just trying to hold a 2 point lead. Adds fuel to the idea he values CL more than top 4. In reality I think he values both.

Jase 43,479 Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Not surprised by the starting XI after the weekend's game but once again and especially after Kovacic's injury, great decision by Tuchel to leave Gilmour back in Cobham...no midfielders on the bench!
