*****The Official Champions vs Olympique Lyonnais Match Thread*****

[G.E.C. 18,781]

2000 kick off live on BT Sport 3.

McGregor; Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Barisic;  Aribo, Davis, Kamara; Roofe, Morelos, Kent

Good to have Roofe back for Europe.

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,460]

We have a weakened squad due to Covid and injuries so I will be happy with any sort of win. 

[TamCoopz 19,605]

Gollum the ref so we won’t win

Morelos sent off twice.

Where you been?

People keep saying Bassey at CH. I don't get that one at all. His weakness in defence is the long ball over his head.

If CG can't make it, it should be Leon King. Sometimes, we have to trust the academy to get us through one-off ties like this.

Certainly not ideal.

Ross McCormack scored on his euro debut so it certainly isn't unthinkable.

Kyle McClelland would probably start ahead of King.

Fuck Moussa Dembele...close thread! lol

[STEPPS BOY 73,923]

Considering going to this game.

Dembele would absolutely physically demolish Leon King. He's nowhere near ready for that kind of challenge.

Goldson + Balogun if possible, otherwise Bassey at CB.

We won't know until later in the week who will be available. Simpson is not in the Euro squad so not an option.

Lyon will not play like the hammer throwers we meet in the league. It will be a much more open game and I think that will suit us.

To go through you must win your home games so I will take a 1-0 or a 2-1.

i was at the b team game yesterday at bonnyrigg  both these boys are good  would probably agree that mc clelland is slightly ahead on a seperate subject what a performance yesterday from the young lads could and should have scored 10   they are a joy to watch best £4 i have spent in ages

I think SG will go with one striker (Alfie) and add another midfielder and have Aribo playing in a more forward role.

i have seen the b team several times now they play football the way it should be played pass and move good control lots of pace  and plenty aggression against these older and more physical guys

[McEwan's Lager 30,524]

They are up 1-0 v Strasbourg already.

On BT3 if anyone is interested.
