They will give us space to play, but too strong for us 2-1 to them.

Yeah we're basically starting with a one-goal handicap because that's an absolute banker

Having been very optimistic about our recent PL games and Marseille, and correctly predicted the 2-1 and There's Only One chorus at Swansea........I'm afraid our tiredness is going to cost us and we're going to lose 1-2

with 6 players all out injured, pushing for 1st team honours, it was about to happen. The lads on Saturday did look a bit leggy, but confidence is high and i can see us snatching a 2-1 result

Napoli will be our toughest match so far in this campaign. They're doing very well in their league, plus Benitez is a master tactician so they'll give us a hard game.
I naturally hope we win, but can't see it tbh.

My guess is that, benitez being the arch tactician, will be very happy with a draw at ours. They will be very negative.

I'm fair;y certain I heard it during the Swansea game. IIf it wasn't that then it was a song going by the same tune.

Can also Rafa content with the draw. In an ideal world we win without too much energy being taken out of the team. 1-0 Ozil opening his account! :barscarf:

I agree with Chippy that Benitez would be very happy with a draw.
My worry is that when teams sit back a bit we can look devoid of ideas (particularly with little pace and no width) and we're regularly exposed to counterattacks and we haven't played anyone in Napoli's class so far this season.

I'm thinking I might take a draw if it were offered.
