9 games left. We need a minimum of 8 wins I reckon, if not all 9. Let's start tonight with a win. VillA understandably have just run out of a little steam recently and with Watkins and McGinn out it is a good time to play them.

As usual, team selection tonight will be difficult to predict. Does Pep stick with the team that started Sunday, minus Ake, to redeem themselves, or does he rotate.

Surely Jackie has to play, especially seeing as it's his former club. And I'd like to see Alvarez in for Haaland

I'm going tonight but not optimistic.
Another top 4 team, our form remains dodgy.
A win tonight could be huge, but could also be ultimately meaningless.
We'll drop at least 2 points.

McGinn Watkins and Ramsey are out which is good news. Ake Walker and Ederson out for us.
Doctors doubtful Walker will be fit for Madrid but Pep hasn’t given up.

I’d play Haaland. He's had pelters from the media, especially Keane and Micah. I’d play him and remind him what they’ve said right before kick off - see what he’s made of.

He needs to change his fucking attitude then - right now all he does is wait for the ball in the penalty area and pretty much little else.

Not the same player as last season , last season his touch was good and his overall play was exceptional - this season hes become a lazy bastard and has the touch of a rapist.

At this stage we shouldn't really be debating who plays or who doesnt. We're in must win territory now. Anything else wont be good enough.
Let's see who's really hungry for it.

Personally I'm quite confident tonight.
