Job and a half to try to get interested in this one. Still disappointed and frustrated about how much they have let us all down (themselves included) and embarrassed us in this competition. Anyway, two things that i would like to see happen tonight are a clean sheet and another goal scorer (like Sandro etc) to give us a chance of scoring in the next 2 prem games while Oumar's banned.

Not holding my breath for either one though tbh. In the last 5 games, we have scored 6 and conceded 11 which doesn't exactly fill you with optimism.
 
Whatever happens tonight, the winner of the group will be decided by the final group game, Atalanta v Lyon.

Besides, Atalanta are not likely to win the competition. In that case, how badly do they want to finish in top place?


Very badly, I would I would imagine.

Group winners are seeded in the draw and so they avoid the CL drop outs and they get to play the second leg at home in the first knock out round.

And they will want to win tonight and hope Lyon either don't win or win by no more goals than they do at Goodson so a draw in that final game will see them top the group either on points or by virtue of their superior goal difference.

Indeed the top spot will not be decided until their head to head....but a win tonight might just make that task considerably easier for Atalanta next month.
