For God's sake don't expect too much of Aymeric, people. He's bound to be rusty.

 

[RayCTID]

Good news with Laporte starting.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Laporte to limp off after 6 minutes.

What a shit post

As much as I trust Pep I hope its not too soon.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Aymeric! Get in! Really hope Fern is back in midfield or that at least it’s three at the back

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Ok he’s wrong, and you no more than our entire fucking medical and sports science teams

Calm down flapper, I'm just being cautious.

What don't you get? Fulham home is another game away and extra days to get fitter, and most probably an easier game to come back to.

Why start him at Fulham? United League Cup is another few days to get fitter and an easier game to come back to?

Why start him at United? West Ham is another 10 days to get fitter and an easier game!

In fact, fuck it, why bring him back at all? He can't get injured again if he doesn't play.

And to give Gabriel the start he deserves.

Yes, though he could have gone for both and left Sterling out, but there is a risk playing both a bit of bad luck could leave us without a striker.

I don't get these comments.

It's like every poster who writes them thinks no one at the club bothered to think about Laporte's return at all.

We've got a 20+ person medical team, 4 assistant managers and you think no one stopped and put some thought into when Laporte should come back and if he's ready?

Doubt he will last the 90 mins though

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Imagine when Sane is back.

Not expecting a whole lot from him in the short time he'll remain with us. I doubt he'll go more out of his way to follow Pep's instructions than before and he'll probably have the possibility of recurring his injury in the back of his mind and scuppering his move.

Hopefully I'm wrong and he tears teams apart and gets the send off he deserves.
