Honestly I’ve no idea what team he will put out but I’m sure they’ll still look like clueless amateurs ball watching like it’s a tennis game.

Dreading this, what's the point of playing if you can't defend basic bread and butter football? Like trying to eat soup out a fcukin sieve.

Must win for Rodgers if he wants to keep his job. 

Don't think owners would persist with keeping him (as well as several more fans) if we're out of Europe, faltering in the league and only have the 2 domestic cups to play for. 

 

Disregarding that, I hope we win anyway because it'll be great to win away at the biggest club in the group. It'll be great for the players and Rodgers anyway aside from the job pressure. 

 

Said a few times this season that we need to go on a run of wins and now it's no different again. A bloody clean sheet would be a good starting point lol.

Haha, if we can keep the score down that would be ideal. 5 or 6-0 to Napoli…. 
 

What are the permutations? If we lose is that pretty much curtains?

We can lose and still go through if Legia and Spartak draw.

If we lose we need a draw between Spartak and Legia to go through

They won't get rid of him, not until it is borderline relegation bad, he's got too much piss and wind in his favour in their eyes. Bowled over by him.

Brendan may try and save the season by winning this, he may be saved by Napoli not being fussed either way.

…then win at the weekend and mid table mediocrity awaits us until Top gives him the push.

Napoli having to deal with quite a few big injuries now and their form is starting to drop a bit, just 1 win in their last 6

 

Expected to be missing: Koulibaly, Manolas, Anguissa, Fabian, Insigne, Osimhen

 

Anguissa is the only one that may be eligible for this match

 

Napoli switched to a back 5 in their last game against Atalanta to try and mitigate losing Koulibaly but their defence still looked quite poor

 

Could be a fair few goals in this as I have no doubt both sides will score

I'm getting to the point where the inevitability of conceding pathetic set piece goals and playing sh1t football is diminishing my interest in caring whether we win this game or not!...

and even if we do go through it's merely to lose in a future round!

There's some seriously good teams coming into the competition via the Champions League.

Be better off dropping down to the Conference League....more chance of doing something in that...until we lose inevitably to Spuds

Evans was looking gimpy on a few occasions against Villa. Imagine going to Napoli with a starting CB pairing of Vestergaard and Soyuncu. On second thoughts....don't.

We've got no chance. We can't defend. They will put us under pressure and we will fall apart. Rodgers will say we lacked character and we will move on.

Bizarre as it sounds, l obviously want us to win every game, but to also concede from set pieces, purely to force something to change & to stop every game being so boring & predictable. Whether it’s ditching the zonal marking, a change to the defensive coach/personnel, l don’t care. Rodgers needs to stop trotting out the same shite after each defeat & do what he’s paid handsomely to do & sort it out.
