Not unexpected in the slightest. First team comes first and need minutes. Kids will get 30 minutes

 

[give it to gordon]

Stronger than I was expecting

 

[kaz7]

I always love seeing dinho

COME ON BLUEBOYS

 

[keemcfc]

Was hoping to see walker rested, hopefully comes off at HT although he's probably just about not played as much football as usual this season tbf with the form of João & the occasional app for Zinny

 

[BongoBlue]

Strong side...

 

[elbearos]

Crikey!!!

 

[Don Karleone]

A few players need minutes so it's probably the correct team. Hope the youth get a proper chance though.

 

[keemcfc]

Gotta love 2 keepers on the bench, a half each & a backup maybe?

 

[MarsLlama]

Is it still 5 subs in the CL or only 3? Genuinely can't remember.

 

[cjn]

Wish we could rest Walker a little more, but good team. Hope the kids get a solid 30 min or so.

 

[super_city_si]

Thought Palmer might haev started in stead of Gundogan but that was only one I thought might. Expected team pretty much. Stong side.

5

I think that's the right team.

Everyone there apart from Walker needed the minutes whether it's because they're not getting much game time or they're returning from injury. I'm sure the likes of Lavia, McAtee and Palmer will get decent minutes in the second half.

Gündo doesn't

 

[twosips]

You get £2.5m for winning a single group game in the Champions League - that's more than winning the Carabao and FA Cup campaigns combined. I reckon that probably explains the strong side!

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

I would have put Palmer in as a starter, and maybe take him off at half-time, or the 55 minute mark. I think he's proven that he deserves it, and doesn't look out of place in the senior team. Of course, that would be putting one of the senior players' nose out of joint, I'm well aware.

 

[K-Bo]

The gang destroys the academy.

Gündo doesn't

I thought he had just come back from an injury recently, I could be wrong though.

 

[mosssideblue]

Pep not messing about

 

[youngbob]

Pointless to play such a strong team. Palmer and McAtee should both be out there.
