Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gabbing on again about the 'weird' talks we had with him in 2012.

Look guys, we're under absolutely no pressure to get through the group stage so hopefully, we'll be able to just relax and have fun knocking the ball about.
I really want to see us shut Aubamyang up especially. He's always shooting his mouth off about us because we decided not to sign him back in 2012 when AVB was the boss. Clearly, he hasn't grown up yet because he still carries a grudge against us.

:meh:

Any of our irish posters know if it's on one of the channels in ireland? Over seeing my cousin and she doesn't do sport. The local pub said if it was on they'd put it on but don't think he gives a shit either way.

Liverpool - Sevilla on RTE2 unfortunately

I don't think Aubamyang is shouting his mouth off, it's just that every time we play Dortmund journos will ask him about it because it's an angle for them to write about.

He does seem to hold on to it a bit though...

I'm not an Irish poster but it looks like it's on Eir Sport 2 (19.40) and BT Sport 3 (19:00) over there.

Usually I would sigh, and bemoan the idea that kicking it long equates to any bettter outcomes, than keeping the ball, and playing out from the back.

However tonight Dortmund will try to press us at the back and going more direct may be a smart move.

Could see Llorente on the pitch tonight for that very reason

Does sound like we fucked Aubameyang around though, tbf. Our loss at the end of the day.
Nah, we got Harry Kane:)
For anyone who prefers knockout rather than group stage this group is for you, assuming Nicosia will get the wooden spoon, which is a fair assumption surely, the two legs between each of the other three will be critical effectively making our group a knockout phase.

First game and straightaway it looks very important to get a result here, on paper our results against Dortmund will decide who goes through in the group. Maybe that helps the players though, they will know they've got to come out firing from the off.

Exactly, our most important game, though the way we are playing away, it could be the away game in dortmund!

got a good feeling about this. But I am regularly wrong. Love us to smash the grannie out of them .

Despite the injuries they are still a real threat going forwards. Top of the league in germany. I'm actually pretty nervy about this one but still very excited.

Anyway this is what the CL is all about. Let's do it. :)
It's only a few games into the season. Watford are 4th at the minute. I'm not terrified of them

We are 3-0 up against their U19s at half time at the moment, that would do nicely for tonight

Unless I am wrong and I'm forgetting about someone, judging by todays youth match team, it looks like we'll be going with 3 defenders on the bench for this with Foyth on it due to Alli's suspension and injuries to Wanyama and GKN.

Why does everyone keep saying how difficult it is to get to Wembley...surely it's far easier to get to Wembley than it was to get to WHL???
