Sevilla (H) - Wed 2nd Nov, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Decent team. Nice to see starts for Palmer and Rico. Would like to see have seen JWE aswell - looked decent when I've watched him. Hopefully the likes of Alvarez, Grealish and Mahrez can play themselves into form!

 

[blueparrot]

You do realise Rico Lewis is starting?

And another on the bench, we may end up with 4 on the pitch. Some people are just whingers for the sake of it.

Why did a lot of the players have face masks on getting off the bus?

 

[Shaffer92]

Strong lineup. No injuries, please.

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

we're never getting another youth academy lad through to the first team as long as we can't even let them be on the bench in an absolutely dead game.

Lol

 

[Vienna_70]

Foden and Palmer starting together for the first time?

 

[Cobra]

You’re allowed 11 subs and he’s named 9, makes absolutely no sense to add Borges to the CL squad and then not even put him on the bench. He could have put someone like Breckin on there too, even if he never planned on using him

Is Palmer playing in the midfield?

 

[blueparrot]

I guess a Gundogan,Foden,Grealish midfield 3 which is interesting.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Why the fuck is foden playing. He said he's knackered yet starts him in a dead game. Ridiculous decision

 

[Don Karleone]

It isnt really is it?

I think it is. I'm happy with it though, only downside is Borges not being involved.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Bono starts in goal for Sevilla

I think it is. I'm happy with it though, only downside is Borges not being involved.

Exactly, why wasn't Borges not starting for the eds today, if there was never any intention of having him in the first team squad

 

[ninjamonkey]

Like it. Have to remember most of our best kids tht might have played in this are on season long loans. He's played the kids that can hack it at this level. My only gripe is that looks like Palmer likely playing in the middle, I see his future as a wide man, doesn't have the tenacity or bite to play in Central midfield, I'd like to see him on the wing for 90 minutes in a game where we're not already coasting and see what he can do. I'm sure he will do fine in the middle if he plays there but it's not his future.

Anyway, good team, about to get soaked, a win will make iy worthwhile. hoping plenty of players up for it trying to impress, a decent number of these will get 2 chances this week before the world cup to stake a claim to be more involved in the second half of the season, want to see them make the most of their opportunity.
