I think Cucu still gets the start as Chilly is just coming back. He will put in a shift against Brandt/Bellingham like he did against Salah. I think Badman has been one of our best performers so it's a shame we have to drop him. The bigger shame is that we will probably have to play KK as Fofana would be lucky to make the bench. Kova and Sterling back will be big. We have people to create tap ins for Sterling and Kovacic will complement Enzo for the time being. The problem is neither of them is a natural DM. So unless they share the load and both focus on interceptions I don't see us getting far. I think we need a Kante/Matic type player who will sit behind them and set them free.

Vesper 30,185 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Potter needs to tell CuCu to pass the ball to Mudryk or his ass is going to rot on the reserve team bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see what he even offers over Chillwell. Might as well start the latter. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Who's going to start in CB? The magnificent Koulibaly or the fully match fit Fofana. Ans: Probably Chalobah. And maybe even a back 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Perfect game for Mudryk to thrive. Fernando and Vesper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,489 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Next leg is three weeks away. Just keep ourselves in this tie - Kante, Fofana, Kova and others should be back for the 2nd leg. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,916 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Depending on the XI we choose I think this will be a very tight match. Dortmund are in excellent form, yes, but they won’t have faced a team with our talent outside of Bayern in their league. Especially our attacking talent. Koulibaly coming in from the cold is a big concern but it looks like Kova and Chilly should be good to start so LB & midfield should be much improved from recent performances.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Elo ratings: Borussia = 1840, Chelsea = 1864. So they 're not better. Watch this also: PSG = 1864, Bayern = 2004 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also got Anthony Modeste, who used to play in PL - in Blackburn!!! And Adeyemi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashishi 148 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Predicted Lineup: Kepa James Chalobah Silva Cucu RLC Enzo Felix Mount Havertz Mudryk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Wouldn't be surprised if we see a back 3 again. Potter hasn't tinkered in a while, and he might try something different for Europe. Especially with an away game and no Badiashile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big loss, he has been horrendous recently and basically dropped out of the first eleven as soon as Haller could walk again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Think Koulibaly will 100% start here. Potter will want to give him a mental boost and if he starts and plays well it could get him back on track. I’d actually be okay with a back 3 for this as well. Dortmund probably won’t expect and prepare fully for it since we haven’t been using it much lately. Reece and Chilly are MUCH more dangerous in that formation and it could cause BVB all sort of headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
