I’ll probably look daft for saying this at 8 o’clock tonight but I actually look forward to seeing us pick a much changed starting XI for a game like this now we’ve got so many squad options with potential and upside.

I expect the front 3 tonight to be Bale, Vinícius and Bergwijn. Hopefully the game goes well enough that we can still get some minutes into Dele and even Jack Clarke off the bench, and still have Kane, Son, Lucas and Lamela all fresh for Sunday.

One thing that slightly concerns me is how we use/manage Hojbjerg in these fixtures. We need him in these away games but also in the EPL so he’s probably at more risk of injury than most of our team but, much like Kane in recent seasons, is very difficult to replace/deputise for if he does pick up a muscle strain.

Official IG saying Bale is starting. We all knew it anyway but confirmed now.

Yes Jose confirmed in yesterdays press conf. He also said that his eyes tell him and the scientific data confirms that Bale 'is arriving' will look forward to bales showing tonight with great anticipation.

Looking at their league table they score plenty but tend to concede a goal or two. I think we’ll win 1-3 COYS

As I'm from Antwerp I can tell you it's not an easy team to play against. After many years in the lower leagues, they fought their way back up with ultimately a cup win last season and a title challenge. They are known for their energy and fighting spirit. Sad that we can't go to the stadium, as it is also know for it's great atmosphere and pride.
I would almost go to the doors of the stadium and shout some YID army support.
Let's not underestimate them and fight every minute!

COYS!

I'm arriving at the thought of Bale arriving :cautious:

I think we will hammer them 7 1... Bale hattrick and vinigoal with two and erm own goal x 2.

Not sure who will score for them.. Their defender from set piece...

COYS
I don't know if you meant to type it like that, but I like it. A 'vinigoal' for goals scored by Vincius. I'm going to use it.

I can't believe how quickly our sqaud has become insanely good.
It's what happens when we acquire players at sensible fees to fill defined gaps in the squad, instead of pursuing high-profile expensive stars for roles that are already covered. See also: Arsenal, Man Utd.

Funnily enough we also did this with Bale, but for almost no spend. Fucking love our club. :LOL:

Rez, did that other guy not piss on you yet? Cos if he hasn't I'm gonna find you and do it... Stop using my shit.

Ps vinigoal should be adopted by everyone. So much easier than figuring out if the i comes before the u and whether there is another i

Certainly an exciting and probably good enough team to win, COYS.
