PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS



2021/22 Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg
16th March, Wednesday 2022
Stade Pierre Mauroy
20:00 Kick Off (UK time)

[Fulham Broadway 16,916]

Let's see the same recent spirit from the players, and that the off field shenanigans wont impact our performance.

We should walk to the next round without sweat..

 

I expect us to defend very strictly lead by Thiago. Lille will have to take more and more risk, so I think our quickest attackers(Puli, CHO, Werner)might feature and we can end this round with counter attacks.

[Pizy 18,415]

Wonder if Renato Sanches’s injury this past weekend will keep him out. He was their standout player in the first leg.

I suppose there is the old adage -'you don't ask you dont get', but Boro must be laughing at this

[Fulham Broadway 16,916]

Anyway on to Lille. 

Read somewhere the team are flying by Easyjet. Imagine being on an Easyjet flight finding yourself sat next to Rudiger. And he's in a bad mood. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,318]

Starting to think we should rotate tonight instead of Boro....

Their players, fans, and the entire world will be up for a victory.

Maybe for the fans chanting things that MP don't want to hear?

Thing is this one must have been booked before all this. So probably the last little luxury they can afford as as a club...then off on budget airs they go! Like say be quite funny. Travel in style though!

Does players really prefer to travel to Boro with bus 10 hours over paying themselves for a plane?

It's less than 5 hours. England is a small country luckily

Kai and Mase already said that they would have no problem to pay for the travel if they are allowed to.

Don't mess about with this one with strange picks. No need to put pressure on ourselves by conceding early.
