Villareal have had a poor start to their season only winning 2 games so let's not kid ourselves they are not a great team in good form.
Home crowd in cl is usually lively enough so a min is a must.
Our starting team is very much up in the air I'd imagine after yesterday's debacle.

A min? I'd imagine we'd get at least 90 mins, probably a few more for injury time.

Villarreal aren't in the best of form, but then our form isn't anything to write home about. Villarreal have home advantage, which means the we have to silence the crowd before we beat the team. They also possibly have the psychological advantage over us after our recent meeting and the fact we have never beat them and only scored once against them in 5 games.

That said after our first game we really need the win. Hopefully there is a reaction from the players and we get the win.

However, it's not time to panic yet. We have 15 points left to play for and 10 is typically enough to see us progress. Although that doesn't leave us much margin of error.

I'd imagine the team would be much the same, maybe we will see Sancho in for Greenwood. Or possibly Cavani if he's fit enough to play at least 60 minutes.

Being sarcastic about Ken’s spelling and then not knowing we are at home on Wednesday isn’t your finest post Shaps.

I’d imagine ole will play the same again, very rarely changes things up. Injuries will be the only difference.

GDS, lmao. Yeah that was a bit of a "moment". To be fair I'm in the middle of a house move. ?.

I think Shappy was being serious there GDS2 with the way we play its like an away team at OT.
