Best to keep shape and avoid getting stretched in this one. The players look gassed recently and will struggle in an open end to end game in my opinion.
A score draw wouldn't be the worst result.

Sitting back has been proven time after time again that it is the most successful approach to winning major trophies :agree:

Can't argue with that.
It's not my favoured approach and I wish we could go out, press high and play some aggressive, high intensity football that this team should potentially be capable of. But the fact is we have rarely done this all season (particularly in Europe) and so I can't see us pulling this off all of a sudden.

The idea may be good, but I think it would end up looking like a disorganised mess similar to the first leg against Trabzonspor and would end up giving the opponents more confidence.
If we stay solid, organised and hold possession effectively whilst not giving the opponents a sniff, this would likely demotivate them and this approach is far more likely than the one we would much prefer to see.

If we can't take the game to Lyon B team then we're either the most overrated team in history or just tactically inept

Our defensive approach has cost the club about 30m euros from CL revenue this season. Let's not shoot ourselves in the foot again and actually take the game to a team that is worth less than Pogba

I think we will do fine. They have pretty big injury issues
That doesn't count for shiit. We'll still sit bad and play relaxation therapy football.
