With the pressure off hopefully we can finish on a high and give ourselves confidence going in to the new season when we must have a chance to build on our league trophy success. A fully fit squad to choose from means we'll go all out for a great victory rather than rest and play fringe players. #Post#: 1972-------------------------------------------------- Re: Pre-Matchday 18 - All leagues By: Skittles Date: November 7, 2020, 3:08 am --------------------------------------------------------- Ajax remain unchanged for the final match of the season away to Benfica. The subs bench featuring four 17 year olds with bright futures. Ajax will be lifting the Adidas League trophy at the end of the match having secured the title some weeks ago. But the motivation of trying to conclude the season undefeated has kept the performances sharp. #Post#: 1973-------------------------------------------------- Re: Pre-Matchday 18 - All leagues By: Raingod Date: November 7, 2020, 4:44 am --------------------------------------------------------- Paris St.Germain - Liverpool So it all comes down to tonight .. the maths are simple, it is out of our hands ... if Atletico win, there is nothing we can do if they fail to win and we win, the title is ours if we fail to win, we hand the title to them! Runners up is secured, but having led the table most of the season, it would feel like a disappointment if we do not finish the job .. Young starlet Izconil is out suspended - who will replace him in midfield? - the defensive Fabinho? The experienced Wijnaldum ? Youngster Clarkson? Or all-rounder Maiga? Raingod confirms he will have an additional defender on the bench this week as a contingency against injuries or red cards .. As for the opposition, well a victory would send the PSG puppies down - which if it did happen would be an inconvenience for Matt, but not disrupt his long-term youth approach .. May the best team win Chris .. #Post#: 1974-------------------------------------------------- Re: Pre-Matchday 18 - All leagues By: Raingod Date: November 7, 2020, 5:20 am --------------------------------------------------------- Club_Brugge - Atalanta_BC So Atalanta sit one point clear of GaryG's Leipzig - and it is simple - win the match and we win the league. If we dont, we need to match his result, but as they are at home to bottom club and already relegated Alkmaar, a win is essential. Brugge sit 3rd from bottom and safe, but with nothing to play for will they go into the game with confidence? The feisty win over Leipzig last week has taken its toll with THREE players out suspended .. Caldara returns to the back 3 after his late goal, Gomez replaces top scorer Ilcic, whilst Barkeley comes into the midfield. He has spoken out in the press about his patchy form, but said he has loved his time at Atalanta and would love to be a part of a victory today ... With left winger Candreva suspended, young striker Nuwesorp will play wide left, with Gomez as the target man.. May the best team be successful Gary ... #Post#: 1975-------------------------------------------------- Re: Pre-Matchday 18 - All leagues By: Chris S Date: November 7, 2020, 9:04 am --------------------------------------------------------- Villarreal_CF - Olympique_Marseille With 2nd place wrapped up and a full squad to choose from, I am looking for Marseille to return to the form we had earlier in the season heading into the playoffs. We're still struggling to score goals and been unable to keep a clean sheet. Reus will return tot he starting XI after being benched in the first half last match. #Post#: 1976-------------------------------------------------- Re: Pre-Matchday 18 - All leagues By: Chris S Date: November 7, 2020, 9:09 am --------------------------------------------------------- Borussia_Dortmund - Atletico_Madrid It all comes down to this. Atleti are in the driver's seat, let's hope the pressure is not too much for us to see this one to the finish line. James Maddison returns after being out 4 matches with injury. Already anxious to see how this plays out while still trying to decide on how we're going to setup tactically. Good luck Skittles if you're still sheeting for this match. *****************************************************
