I'm pretty sure they'd play Dayot and move the two defenders to fullback to make a real back four against a team that they respected

Nope. He got rightfully dropped at half-time in their last game. Hernandez and Pavard are their usual full-backs, both starting and can both move outside if required. Maybe have a night off your irrational hatred of Bayern.

Inter aren’t too bad.

This should be a close game, but Italian standard has dropped a fair bit in recent years. For example, Milan and Inter haven’t really changed too much for 5-6 years and they both struggled to get in CL, now they’re toe to toe for the league.

You’d be foolish to anyone other than City, Liverpool, Real, PSG or Bayern.

Probably have to say Sporting, Lille and RB Salzburg are weakest teams in the competition left.

I think disliking a club that destroys competition in the game while talking about how everyone else is ruining the game is quite rational myself.

Dropped or not, they'd not be playing this team if they thought the opponent was a threat. City or the RS would not face this lineup. That's all I was saying.

Yes they would. You're an oddball. The only player not playing is Upamecano whom you don't even rate much anyway.

The only change to this side you would do is to drop one of the 3 world class wingers Gnabry, Coman & Sane and add in Upamecano. Then it wouldn't be disrespectful anymore?

Yeah mate, I think if you're considering a team a serious threat to beat you you'll probably not play three defenders, two midfielders and five attackers like it is 1939 and we're still working our way out of the 2-3-5 era. Teams don't so this except when they think they can just overwhelm someone.

You'd think Everton were utterly mad if we played our equivalent of this.

I'd say starting 3 world class wingers to try beat a team is showing them respect myself but carry on your weird crusade.
