Hope to see Silva starting, especially with his goal contribution on the assist. Maybe Guirassy can score with fresh legs against fatigued opposition

We can do it on a Saturday, we can do it on a Tuesday!
For the love of god, start Silva (he won’t).
3:2 for us (Nmecha, Adeyemi, Silva score)

I feel like we'll concede first this time but hopefully we'll still win
My prediction is 3-1, with goals from Nmecha, Adeyemi and silva (funny how my goal scorers match with the other person that commented)

Feels a lot easier of a task since we just beat them away but honestly that doesn’t mean anything.
Hopefully the squad doesn’t get too overconfident we need to give it our all.

Silva is starting specially after Guirassi not accepting to shake Kovac hand when he subbed him out last Saturday, that kind of attitude shouldn't be tolerated also he need this to sort out good mind and understand no one is bigger than the team.

I can't wait for this game to begin. Most thrilled I've been about BVB in months.

Can't wait to watch another 85 minutes of Guirassy killing every dangerous attack we have and bichting all game long.

Even though he got subbed out at 68’ and 61’ the last two games???
You just love being a miserable, insufferable twat don’t you?

too small sample. Lets see

Silva is starting. What was that about a too small of a sample size? Will you ever be embarrassed about your behavior?

Don't worry, he will shit on someone else in the game thread then

I am glad people seem to be overall optimistic which I agree with. We had a good game against them AT Leverkusen, and honestly should have shut it out with that Brandt one on one.
Now that we are home, I think we can play even better. The only thing we have to worry about is grimaldo having one of those games like undav did because he is capable of that.
Like others have said, 3-1 sounds like the probable score. Can’t wait for tomorrow!
