Last week was too stressful Tie 3-3 in the 74th minute, I had all kinds of questions about our defense or, more specifically, our midfielder’s ability to protect our defense Then came Paco Alcacer , whose deadly finish gave us three points to start our Europa campaign with

La Liga sides have won all three of their matches in this competition in the first round, and in fact, no side in the league other than Madrid has lost a game in this year’s group stage

Qarabag lost their first game which kinda surprised me I predicted Maccabi Tel Aviv would be the worst team in this group I personally think Sivasspor is going to beat them pretty badly today which means if we can get a win we would all be clear at the top of the group after two matches

I’m really excited to see Foyth and Pau playing together They might not be the best couple in the air, but the ball game will be there I’m really concerned about Costa at LB, and the Trigueros / partnership Iborra has big questions to answer

I think Iborra will perform better than Coquelin as he will stay home more, but we don’t have any balls being dropped in midfield right now We’ll see how it goes Take and Samu should create plenty of chances against this level of opposition, we’ll see if Bacca can finish them

The official team sheet has this as a 5-3-2, which Chukwueze as CM and Costa as third CB I will be very surprised if this is how it looks on the pitch
