Think the crowd will be up for this, but not sure if the players will be.

Tie isn't over and it will be tough- fancy us 2-0

We should be more resistant to the counter attack if Potter sets the team up properly this time, we have a really good group of fast defenders in the squad now.

DO NOT PLAY STERLING HE IS FUCKING SHITE

 

For me, he has to play as we need to be quick on the atatck and need fast attackers to attack their fullbacks who like to get forward. I would prefer him playing on the left as well rather than the right. We don't play to his strengths at all when he is on the right.

He will defo be starting anyway:

Do wonder how we line up at the back since Badiashile is out. Can’t recall if Trev has ever played on the left of a back 3 and to play him in an unfamiliar position for the biggest game of our season when he hasn’t played much lately seems unwise. So I wonder if we just slide KK over to the left where he has played a lot, have Fofana in the center, and Trev on the right. Or if we just revert to a back 4 again.

What I’m most concerned about is the nerves our players will have knowing that if Dortmund score first and early in the match the tie might be over since we’re so incredibly goal shy. It’s absolutely imperative that we score first and make them start to sweat.

Hope Mudryk starts this one. I would drop Kai and play Felix as the false 9 with Mudryk & Sterling either side. We need pace and directness.

Why will Chilwell not continue at LWB?

Its just the kind of thing we've seen Potter do over and over, rotate for the sake of it and play wingers in those positions while claiming it is not really a wingback position so they shouldn't complain etc (as he did with Sterling).

Give him 10 minutes,we will know then if he is going to be shit again.. run into a crowd of people, fall over, complain and get up later, without trying to get the ball back

I'll have to give credit to Potter for at least sticking to his guns here.

He has been adamant about having a false 9 for a while now, as opposed to having a traditional CF. Even if Havertz isn't the solution, it's at least consistent with his plan. Which says a lot, because he keeps chopping and changing everything else.

Well he is desperate for goals but we will have to get players touching the ball in the box first to even draw potential fouls…..

True. Not only that, Havertz has been pretty consistent….. consistently shit for about 14-16 months now. I mean Kai really does bring a new meaning to the term false 9, to the point he is that much of one, its like playing with 10 men. 

Hopefully GP gets the bullet before the end of the season/at the end of the season though. Sick to death of him and whatever he is trying to achieve, he can stick to his guns all he wants but this group has regressed even worse than anybody would of surely thought possible at the beginning of the season and he’s been here for 3/4s of the worst performances.

Probably putting my neck on the line saying this but surely one of the worst worst managerial appointments any big club in England has made in the past 25 years. So out of his depth. I mean anybody thinking this spineless, personalityless man is turning us into a top team in the next 2,3 or 4 seasons are fucking delusional. Simple as that. Boehly & co included.
