    Flick seems to prefer playing Torres to the mighty Lewandowski for some reason.

    Another 3-2 for the ages, with Woltemade being this century's Asprilla.

    I'll take a draw though.

    No yamal or gavi by the looks of it so nothing less than a 4-1 home win

    Sadly, I'll be missing this one on humanitarian grounds. So are guaranteed 7-0 win

    Newcastle will be a different animal in comparison to what they were vs wolves and they'll beat Barcelona again.

    I agree this will feel very different, but anyone expecting a PSG repeat might be disappointed.

    Not sure why Hall isn't starting. Botman I understand more. However there's no way Howe is changing a defence that's kept 3 clean sheets out of 4. Gordon back is a big difference, I cannot work out why Barnes is still here. Elanga I guess will start as unlike Wolves, the opponents will have, and want, plenty of the ball so countering could work for us.

    Liverpool put 3 past this back 4 and they only needed about 3 chances to get at them.

    We're playing Barcelona not Leeds or wolves.

    Think it’ll be similar to Liverpool. Lot of effort but with Woltemade rather than Gordon (then nobody) we have a chance of a surprise.

    Don't like the back 4 at all vs top sides.

    The cameras prefer somebody more photogenic and popular with the fans than you and the bitching starts almost immediately. Think your Agent is leading you down the Isak road. Starting fights with away fans one week and now picking on fans of your own club the next. It’s not a good look.

    I’ll just concentrate on my humanitarian mission and give you time to reflect.

    Wow, literally everyone calling the win vs Barcelona. So I'll add the reverse psychology prediction of a 3-0 defeat.

    BEDWETTER!!

    I do think it'll be closer than many neutrals think but I'd be happy to take a point right now!

    But you never know, a cold, wet, windy night under the light as St James Park is always a chance of something special.
