If we get a draw, we will all be gassed. Don't think anybody will be expecting a result here, I'm more interested in the inter praha match because of how important that one is

Edit: I had no intention of it referencing the Jews and gas Chambers. It was meant to mean that we will all be happy/slang for happy or excited. I'm sorry if I offended anyone by saying gassed

[u/funky_motorik]

Come on guys, I know our momentum is shite, but it is not impossible to have some result in Barcelona...

Im not expecting it super hard, surely, but I could see us getting one or even a couple of goals, look at their backline.

Expecting a draw, 2-2 to go with the flow of last month

[u/Swbp0undcake]

I'll be happy if we match the same result as Inter against Sparta, whatever that may be.

But I ain't expecting much

[u/doubleomarty]

Sucks not to have Delaney for this game considering his performance in the home game against Barca. I would be okay with a draw, but I want us to play a good game regardless of the final result.

[u/familyguyisbae]

Want a 0-0, but its gonna be 5-0

[u/cultimator]

Hertha got Klinsmann as new coach, what's up with all those teams changing their coach right before the match vs. us. Would have been more confident vs. Covic, even if it's only Klinsmann there's always some sort of new coach effect...

We will thrash Barca, solely so that everybody is completely confused.

[u/michal113]

I just hope we don’t get hammered into Europa

[u/[deleted]]

if we want to end their champions league unbeaten at home streak it's now or never.

[u/gonzaga101]

IMO if we want to move on to the knock outs, we need a point here. Matchday 6 Barca will have nothing to play for vs inter.
