I definitely wouldn't go for a high press against a decent Spanish side, managed by Manuel Pellegrini. Keep it tight and hopefully we get a couple of breaks.

@Rousseau will have a fit if he sees this.

Arsenal did beat them 1-0 in the London fixture.

27 October 2022: PSV 2 - 0 Arsenal.

Arsenal giving PSV a bit of a hiding, so far. I think we made them look far, far better than they really are.

Beale's formation doesn't include a midfield, so this shouldn't make much difference.

Me neither.

My old man will have them all but won't part with them (I have no idea why, as I find them to be rather uninteresting). 93/94 was the first season I went to a lot of games. Some great memories, particularly the away trips to the Piggery and Firhill.

That lot think of themselves as world beaters for hitting the post during a humping off Real Madrid. They're off their heads

I think the board are happy to write another season off. They'll probably stick with Beale until the yahoos beat us in December, when it'll be too late.

Michael Stewart and Calum McGregor's comments are a bit contradictory. I guess McGregor was just a bit too honest, after an energy sapping 90 minutes, whereas Stewart is so pre-programmed he's unable to deviate from the set agenda.

Probably around 7-9, I'd guess.

Just wondering, will anyone who voted No (in the manager poll) change their mind if we lose to Betis? If we want to finish first or second in the group, we really need a draw, at the very least.

We got a very, very tough draw last season. Having said that, our performance in Eindhoven suggests we're probably worse than we were a year ago.

Tough game for Dortmund playing against PSG and PSV.

They have learned from their mother Church that reputation comes before all. Sadly for (both of) them, anyone with eyes and ears if fully aware their reputation is already worth nothing.

I'm looking forward to the match in the same way Bobby Sands looked forward to meals.

I'd say Betis are significantly better than Aris.

It reminds me of the yahoos in the 90s. We aren't winning trophies because we aren't playing well enough.

I love the Bobby Sands add-on. Always makes me smile and I sing it with real gusto when I'm at the match. He's deid! 🙂

I disagree. The first one is debatable (already done to death two weeks ago) and the one today was offside.

I said 'refs' (that includes his assistants, which includes VAR). I'll try to be clearer in future.

Ach, why bother with rationale when you can just blame the refs.

Today's result changes nothing with regards to Beale.

Suspected compound fracture for Danilo. If that's the case, he'll be out for months.
