Pepe LeFrits

Burnwinter I wonder whether Rice plays at 6 or we have more of a double pivot, even though we know MLS tucks in a fair bit. Curious to see the shape in each phase.

Given what they've had to do lately, if Merino and Rice slot back into deeper roles without missing a beat it'll be a testament to their ability.

It's a big if for me. Dealing with their press and finding ways to progress through the lines is going to be difficult if Rice is at 6. I really wish Jorginho was fit for this.

RocktheCasbah advantage of the time difference is going to bed now to wake up in time for kickoff.

Sicario2 We’ve earnt this chance, let’s take it.

You sound like Herb Brooks. 😃

Gurgen

Real shame Jorginho isn't fit for this.

flobaba

Gurgen until he's one of the last players in the back line and receives a pass in space only to be closed down and dispossessed and set off their counter attack because he wanted 5 years to control, turn and pick a pass.

The farther he is from the first team in a super critical game like this, the better...

Dom

A lot more nervous about this than the Real tie. I saw the home game as a free hit - if we lost, whatever, we had important players missing. But now I have expectations and hope and it's giving me acid reflux.

awooga83

Yep this one has more potential hope but makes it much more nerve-wracking because there is more belief we could do something which would be more disappointing if it didn't pan out.

USArsenal

Well, with Partey missing, this game could go south if the Rice/Merio pivot doesn't work or if Tross is not on his game. And we really need to be on it defensively, big time. They have a lot of good play going foward.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I have a feeling Tross will play really well.

Coombs

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert 😆 so stupid.

I can't believe I have to teach during this.

I assign @samthegooner to overly praise our midfield in a way that obviously perpetuates my anti-Partey agenda.

Likewise, @lorddulaarsenal might do me a favor by drooling over Luis Enrique's attacking flair and big up the opposition to hedge against disappointment.

@Qwiss could casually drop a few mentions of the slaves upon which PSG built this squad to maintain the moral high ground.

@Burnwinter can over-theorize the refereeing.

@Sicario2 - bring the rage.

Good luck, folks.

USArsenal

😃 WTF

IBL

Don Pacifico they've all got their knives sharpened, memes on standby etc. Screw them and enjoy the experience.

MistaT

Hakimi vs Martinelli - who's winning in a foot race?

Think this will be an interesting component of the game. I'm very grateful we have a winger so willing to put in a defensive shift. Not sure I'd want Hakimi getting freed up against MLS and having Dembele coming in on Kiwior. I know it'll happen a few times, but hoping it's not recurrent or pivotal to the game.

flobaba

MistaT I'm confident in my full backs. It's the center that might be soft.
