Even EV can learn at some stage. Yes, he is inherently ultra conservative. But we have now reached a point where he has no option but to bench LS.

But he said today (or yesterday?) he is not worried about Suarez's form at all...

Yeah, I mean Messi is always marked as a "right winger", but he never stays there.

did a rapid roll call to evaluate fitness. (stats). we run the least as usual.. but other teams didnt run much more than us. with the exception of liverpool and bayern. they run their ass off.

Dortmund scored 4 against them. Don't be too confident about that. My only hope is that Atletico actually gets a goal before half time in Turin.

Group stages are totally, totally meaningless.
Atleti are monsters who if not for Real and Barca would have had 4 CLs by now. I mentioned this earlier in the season I think - it is between them, Juventus, PSG or Real/Barca. The English aren't cut out for it I feel.

Not sure why you included us. They've beat us the two times we've met them.

My bad. Conjured up in my mind that somehow the 14/15 campaign was where you beat them, then I remembered Chicharito.
He is talking about team losing at home in the first leg.
You came back at home from deficit of the away game.
Well last year, they did drop out of the CL.
I really think that, at this point, we can't really predict the outcome from previous years performances. This CL feels like a real cup competition where everyone (except the real outsiders like Schalke) have a decent chance to win. Bayern could seem bad against Liverpool and go on and struggle against another opponent and reach the final to finally win it. City that had difficulty to a supposedly weak german side could then drop masterclasses against Real in the next tier. Lyon could give a run for their money to Barça and suddenly Barça becomes hot and ***** every other continental opponent.
I really think it will go down to the form on the day (like when Real beat Juve at Turin 0 - 3 but got handled at home by the same side), the luck (+ref+VAR), the injuries/suspensions. Too many factors that can make a tie swing for a team over another.

Yes, one of his prime tasks as manager (and this applies to every single manager in the world) is to speak diplomatically (i.e. utter BS) to the press. Trust me, everyone can see that LS is a problem for us right now, including EV.
