Probably our toughest European match against riding high Internazionale, however we’ve been here with Real Madrid.
Team as Saturday, maybe Gomez for Konate but I don’t expect it, Robbo for Kerkez perhaps.
With the Salah saga I expect little but we may get an idea on where the players are.
(Not) looking forward to the pre match press conference tomorrow. International journalists will eat Slot alive. Also wondering which player will join Slot.
We need at least one point from this match. Less would mean we have to play the two additional games in the playoff stage.
They are going to obliterate us off the football pitch.
Usually, when visiting another country, you appear for press interviews with a player of that nationality, or at least one who speaks that language. So… will it be with Chiesa? Hard to imagine, but it would be the right approach for the local journalists. However, I’m betting on Alisson.
There’s a few factors that decide it, I highly doubt it will be Chiesa.
Would expect one of our key players.
Phew. I was worried what they are going to do on it.
How many will we concede this time 3 or 4.
Don’t expect Mo to be in the sqaud, unless he’s made some grovelling apologies.
Match and build up dominanted by the drama needlessly being caused by Mo.
“Bring on yer International Army…”
Most important match of the season!
A win would be nice and good.
With 3 matches left you’d assume another win or at most 4 points will at least see you into the playoffs. After the horror of PSV I can’t see us getting the top 8 with Marseille and Qarabag to come.
A point away wouldn’t be the worst result. If we have any ideas of finishing top 8 we have to win this.
If we can keep below 3, that would be utopia.
But seeing as we concede 3+ to absolute shite like PSV, Forest and Leeds…this could get very nasty very quickly.
Our team during Klopp years or even last season would have nailed down Inter with moderate difficulty at worst. Our high-pace, aggressive pressing game back then was a kryptonite against most Italian sides.
The fact that we have to worry about this match shows how far we have fallen.
I’m not sure the manager / head coach will chose the right team and tactics to win this, so I thought I’d give him a little guidance. This would be the best line up Arne.
Allison
Bradley Konate Van Dyjk Kerkez
Gravenberch Jones
Szoboszlai Wirtz Ekitike
Isak
I’m saving Gomez for the weekend when Bradley will be suspended for getting five yellows.
I don know why it came out like that but I couldn’t be arsed changing it.
For those brave enough it’s here at 19:45 CET (18:45 GMT) tonight:
I don’t think I will be watching then. It’s going to be carnage. Do you think there’s any chance that they could get held up at John Lennon and dodge it?
