We will lose but I’d be surprised if it was a complete mauling (5+)
They’ll score 3 in the first half then just coast, 4-0 FT

I'd take that - normally i'd agree, but unfortunately Pep will be mad at them for coasting against Man U last week...Man U actually won the second half lol.
Pep is going to want to destroy us due last season's impudence. We'll be on the ground and he'll continue kicking and punching until long after we've stopped moving, screaming 'have you had enough?' at the top of his voice.
If we do get battered hopefully it’s double digits, have to remember they bought a squad player for the same price Gao sold 80% of our entire club for 
Problem is, normally they would slow down at 5 or 6. They won't for 2 reasons - last week's slow down to Man U and the fact that Liverpool got 9 against Bompey. They will want to better that. Quite frankly I think they will.
I think that the neutrals will be drawn to this one, simply because of our two 9-0 defeats and because it is our first game against Haaland.
We could also be first on MOTD.

Romeu was immense that day. I miss that guy so much. We badly need him tomorrow.
I’ll repeat my mantra of us needing someone else who can play in that role. Ideally in January. We can’t gamble the whole season on the fitness of an 18 year old. I’d almost say it is priority one. Not least because I’d hope it was more achievable than getting at least one upgrade in an attacking position in the overpriced January window
Depends on how AMN gets on I guess but it seems like he is not used to the role which isn’t ideal. He’d probably be better as part of a three with JWP and Lavia rather than in the Lavia role
I have a sneaking suspicion Lavia will be out longer than estimated. Current estimated return was 16th October. But wouldn’t the club have posted a pic of him training by now like with Tino? Or was it just more important with Tino due to how much more serious his injury was?
How about a sudden covid outbreak in the squad ? Oh wait those rules are gone now that the sports washers have finished using them to ensure survival
26 on Betfair. 11 for the draw. I’m tempted. And I’m not drunk, or high.
I'm honestly totally relaxed about tomorrow. It's a total free hit so why all the forfeit comments? If we get thumped so what? They put 6 past Man Utd and Forest, 4 past Bournemouth and Palace. We'll hardly be alone.
