Build up vs Lyon

[PeterParker]

Now what?

[Mase]

Fuck me, we’ve gotta beat Lyon!!

[PeterParker]

Lyon ripped us a new one last year, but they don't have Fekir and Ndombele anymore.

[PrezIke]

Good side we cannot underestimate, but also a positive we played them last season so many will remember how they did against us.

Players must not take them lightly.

[Saul Goodman]

When is it?

When is it?

Next Sat.

[PeterParker]

Saturday.

They have some good players. Hassem Aouar for one. We’ve been linked with him.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

I think one off ganes should suit us better, but who knows?

With only this comp now, be very interested in the lineup.

I watched them v PSG they are very defensive - Counter attack team.

And that’s what we’ve struggled with all season. When teams do that, like Southampton, we always end up being our worst enemy.

Club at War according to the French Media, like you say Mase we need to get at them score early.

Make no mistake, this will not be an easy fixture. They have just dumped out Juventus so clearly they aren’t mugs. And in a one off game anything can happen. That said, we are usually decent in cup ties and I’d be disappointed not to go through

Pretty much how I see it. Decent counter attacking team who got a result in Turin. If we start fast we can blow any team away, if not, we've seen the other side and struggle to score

The stats seem to bear out when we score first we invariably win but the flip side is when we concede first we rarely win. Baffling really considering how talented we are and the spirit in the camp

[sheblue]

This whole 1 game thing might just suit us, in a straight shot out.
Were better we just need to make sure we perform on the night.

Quite a few lads I know going over to Lisbon for a weekend piss up , I’m undecided at present but quite fancy the idea apart from all the airport bollocks .

And quarantine when you get back

[City64]

And quarantine when you get back

Oh yeah .

[Outcast]

Juventus are old and slow, apart from Ronaldo I've never fancied them as a serious threat. They lack pace. I wasnt surprised Lyon took them to the cleaners.
If we turn up with our A game, utilise our pace, Pep doesn't complicate it with tactics, we should fancy ourselves to edge it. We must not turn up cocksure and show them respect they deserve.
