Rice being one yellow away from suspension is really scary

Not as scary as Fredericks at Right Back

I’m sure Fredericks won’t let us down. None of our players have this season. He’s my third choice right back, but I’d rather a fit Fredericks over an unfit anyone. Auour is not particularly quick, he’s very skilful, but hopefully Fredericks’ pace will help him out.

Game will come down to Antonio, IMO. Will he be on it as, if he is, they won’t handle him.

steve

Not sure Antonio will ever score for us again

I said it the other day, I’ll say it again: I don’t care if he scores. He runs people ragged and other people get the glory. So long as someone scores I’m good with it

This commentary lol.

Olympic Lyonnais, as they are known in France.

Mate, they're known as that everywhere.

It's their name 🤣

Declan needs to avoid a yellow today or he'll miss the return leg. I believe that the card tally gets wiped clean after the quarter finals.

OldCastleSwift

Cautious start. Understandable, given the circumstances, but we haven't really threatened their back line yet.

MIAHammer

I don't understand why we're not playing our #1 choice for goalkeeper. Surely this game is important enough for us to field our preferred choice. Or are we going to stick with Areola even if we get to the final?

chicagohammer

That was close, paying them to much respect for me

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Oh good, the Lyon players love to go down screaming as well. That's nice.

OldCastleSwift

Areola is just as good as Fabianksi, of not better, IMO. He's the cup 'keeper so if we make the final then he should play.

Ref seems a bit pernickety, which doesn't bode well.

MrsGrey

That high foot... Both feet were at exactly the same height when they connected.

steve

We look a bit all over the place

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Cracking ball from Dawson and cracking touch from Bennie and a half chance

OldCastleSwift

We've had a couple of openings in the last five minutes. Game's warming up now.

chicagohammer

Nice breakaway there, top directional header from Antonio

steve

Never going to keep a clean sheet if we keep playing like this

OldCastleSwift

Why aren't players booked for diving anymore?

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Scrappy game

Their number 10 looks a very tricky player

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Antonio looks on it.

Benrahma is so frustrating.
