Now what?

Fuck me, we’ve gotta beat Lyon!!

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

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.

When is it?

Saturday.

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

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.

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

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

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.
