Shakhtar Donetsk (H) - CL - Pre-Match Thread

[Blue Smarties]

Disappointed not to see Foden start.

Well I’m sure he will be saying that when foden ends up leaving.

I respect foden so much for putting up with the lack of game time

 

[Proy]

In keeping with the theme, I also don't understand why Phil isn't starting tonight. Makes no sense.

norwich away , wolves home , Liverpool away proof gundogan and Rodri don’t work together in midfield, no reason why Garcia or Foden shouldn’t be playing

I think it's those 2 plus dave that doesn't work,it's still ott to blast the academy,it's an income generation mainly,if we get a couple of long term first teamers that is a bonus

Can't see any reason why Foden isn't starting tonight, unless he picked up a knock in training or something.

Can't see him starting a game anytime soon, oh wait Oxford are coming up.

Well I’m sure he will be saying that when foden ends up leaving.

His decision tonight makes no sense at all

He is not leaving ffs

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Thought he would have played stone's to be honest

 

[jimharri]

Did Phil run over Pep's cat or something?

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I was looking forward to seeing Foden give our midfield a little bit of energy tonight. Mahrez should be starting too, he scores a winner then gets benched. He didn’t particularly play well last game but he isn’t going to gain any confidence getting dropped every other game.

Disappointing team.

Fernandinho should have been rested (or deployed in midfield) and Foden’s exclusion is baffling.
