Best guess

Kovar
Hincapie Tah (c) Tapsoba
Frimpong Xhaka Palacios Grimaldo
Wirtz Hofmann
Schick

Couple of changes

Croatian CB Josip Stanisic in for Hincapie
21yo Moroccan AM Amine Aldi in for Hofmann

Looks very much a 5-3-2

I hope that Moyes has hard a word with Paqueta and Emerson about not picking up silly yellow cards or they'll be out of the return leg. Both have been guilty this year of needless bookings.

MIAHammer

Great work by Antonio but poor shot by Kudus. We cannot afford to waste glorious opportunities like that.

buffybegood

What a chance, great work by Antonio but Kudus scuffed his shot.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Thought Antonio should have just carried on. Though you’d expect Kudus to finish that

I thought it was a great pass by Antonio tbh, but Kudus shoulda worked the keeper a whole lot harder.

Paqueta misses the second leg. Great

buffybegood

Paqueta carded, idiot.

claretandbluesky

Exactly as expected Paquetta shows he has no brain. Out of next week for no reason.

Lukerz

Well done, Paqueta. When can we sell him?

MIAHammer

We are sitting so deep that there are 21 players playing in our half.
We're playing Russian Roulette here.

I guess not.

And now he's continuing to argue with the referee. Is he trying to get sent off?

MrsGrey

Where was someone to calm him down?

buffybegood

And now another foul.

MrsGrey

But now it's obvious that BL will try to get him sent off.

PrestonHammer

You watch the play acting now every time Paqueta goes near one of their players.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

It was such a brainless yellow. So frustrating

buffybegood

But half their job is already done, Paqueta misses next week.

What have we done to deserve Robbie Savage on every Europa game?

I find Ian Darke more annoying.

Well.
Equally, but in a different way.

It's not like we've got much on the bench to bring him off for either.

Wir haben der bus gerparkt

Leverkusen are another lot who are very good at rolling around screaming

buffybegood

More good work by Antonio.

MrsGrey

Antonio skillz

ASLEFshrugged

vielleicht mit gelöster Handbremse

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Absolutely mad that the ref gave a foul for them at the corner there. Two of our players were in headlocks

buffybegood

So obvious the ref was gonna blow for them at our corner, but what did we do wrong?

MIAHammer

Leverkusen defenders are just grappling our players. I hope we are shown the same leniency in our box.

buffybegood

This isn't good for my blood pressure.

Defensive Moyesterclass so far
