We really need 3 points in the last two matches to win the group. I'd like to see us go ahead and get those tomorrow...

Would be good to have three points in the bag for this one so that we can rest and rotate in the final game against Apoel and play some of the kids who would usually have been given a run out in the Europa League games.

Dortmund are in disastrous form lately, only one points from their last five league games and only two points from four in the Champions League. That being said, beating them at home is never easy and they're going to need to get something off us to avoid going into the final game against Real Madrid knowing they need a result to stay in Europe, as Apoel could still take the last Europa League spot.

@n17oap instead of the 'doh' rating, why not explain why I'm wrong, in case you hadn't noticed the last three words and question mark at the end of the sentence.
It's because he said precisely that, with the exception that he should have used the word "from".

We do only need 3pts from the last two matches in order to guarantee top spot. It would be nicer to get those tonight, but I am assuming it will end in a draw.

I like to crush any team that sings YNWA due to my hatred of Liverpool.

that said, I want to rest Kane he's looked half mast.

If Kane, Alli and Winks have come out of Saturday OK, I think they need to play to get back to full fitness. I don't think any of them had trained for about a week and a half until Wednesday or Thursday last week. They need the game time to regain sharpness.

Pleased but gutted and jealous to be hearing via social media some of my old muckers in Düsseldorf.

COYS.

Our under 19's are 3-1 up at half time, let's hope our over 19's can match them.

Certainly a danger of that. They're in poor form but basically have to go all out attack which would play into our hands if we were full strength. As we most likely aren't going to be, we could get smashed.

They've got nothing to play for really, assuming that Madrid beat APOEL, or do they want to drop into the Europa League ?
