Miercoles Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 It's funny how I'm less nervous than I should be for this. I'm somewhat confident of a result, even though we've been shit the last couple of games, and even though the reason we've been shit (fatigue) will be even stronger today. I hear things about how Milan is in disarray as well, and I dunno we are just savages at St James' so I don't fear any team coming to town whether we have a team or not.

Knockout stages, but we would have to play a round with the 2nd placed teams, whilst the 1st placed teams get a bye into the next round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) I said at the start of this adventure it was a no lose situation providingvwe didn't lose all 6 and take a hiding each time. We haven't, I'm happy to still be in with a shout in the last game (gutted that a draw should have been enough). The point coming in was learn, earn and raise the profile. We've done that. There is no bad situation to come from it, we're either still in Europe or we have much needed rests for another euro league placing push. On the bus now on the way into town, traffics building up. Howay the lads. Edited December 13, 2023 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I’m very confident and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I just can’t see Dortmund losing when they know that they need to avoid defeat to keep top spot. An early goal for us and Dortmund tonight will do me just fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it is a no lose situation. If we win and Dortmund do us a favour we are in the knockout stages of the Champions League. We win and end up in the Europa I'd have snapped your hands off for that a couple of years ago. Worst case we end up bottom but have had some champions league experience against 3 of Europe's elite (and more than held our own), and less fixtures in the new year.

TRon Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Not sure what to make of it tonight tbh, it depends on which Newcastle turn up. At our best we can win against anybody including Milan, but if we are still playing with players who are shot mentally and physically, it's not going to happen. That said, this is at home, and if there's qualification to the next round at stake, I could see our lads making a herculean effort and getting it done.

LiquidAK Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Pressure is as much on them as us as they need the win too, and they'll have to deal with our crowd. Dortmund at home are no slouches, PSG have proven they're shaky away from home. We can absolutely do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some of our big players to step up tonight to go through, Bruno, Isak/Wilson and Trippier going to be key here. Can't waste chances against these that we have recently even going back to the Man United game where we played brilliantly, just aren't taking enough of our chances.

Well you can't rely on Almiron or Joelinton to finish regardless of how good they are in other areas of the pitch, so yes, we need goals from Isak or Wilson above all else.
