Yeah he played there at home against Chelsea, when we won 2-0.

So best tactic would be Xhaka-Guendouzi midfield and Torreira as AMF marking Jorginho? 3 at the back and 2 strikers?

In that 2-0 game we had 4 midfielders in the field and 4 at the back. But now we don't have Ramsey.

Isn't only other option to put Iwobi at AMF? Mkhi is likely not able to participate and like you said Özil might not be the best option to mark anyone. He can come in as substitute if trailing.

I think there isn't good answer to who we should put behind our strikers. With Torreira we would lack creativity. Also it is risky to put him in the new position where he didn't play all season.

Absolute shambles from UEFA.

Yep.

It's laughable - the club is struggling to shift 6,000 tickets because its so ****ing difficult to get there - it's not just the cost, there are simply not the flights in and no other, practical way to get there, other than in the world of fantasy.

I made what appears to have been the smart move of arranging transport in advance at not completely stupid expense - about £1k per person including hotels but excluding match ticket and spends - and that requires me to take a week off work!

Plus and for all I know, we could get to Milan (the easy bit) then find our onward flight to Baku has been cancelled/overbooked or whatever and we're totally screwed.

The only other option is to take the club "day trip", which will be about as much fun as explosive diarrhea.

Why would it be empty? I'm sure there's loads of fans in Baku, and there's most certainly been sold tickets to other organizations as well.

That friedly really amazes me. In US also, getting some jetlag and maybe bad sleep to players is always good of course.

How sure can we be about Kante not making it? Rudiger? Any links? Quite important for us.

We have performed well against tough opposition in UEL and even somewhat in EPL. Hazard masterclass is basically the only worry to me, but we performed well against Chelsea this season. Players missed sitters in the away game and now our strikers are in flames. We can do this.

I think Rudiger is definitely out. He had surgery on his knee a couple of weeks ago.

Kante is just a doubt. He got a hamstring injury on the 5th of May so by the time of the final he has had 3 and half weeks to recover which is doable. I personally think there is more chance of him making it then not.

Chelsea journo seems to think he’ll make it.

Even if Kante will make it he won't be 100% fit. I really wish ramsey was available our midfield and attack will be much superior
