[Chi-town blues]

Carson is more likely to start in midfield. ;-)

Does he track back ?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Does he track back ?

Not sure what he does, to be honest, bar being good for morale.

He’s our fortune cookie.

 

[Gremlin]

He’s our fortune cookie.

As per his reported comments to the team when they arrived in Istanbul for the CL final.

Ouch!

I think you're probably more likely to start in midfield, Al.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Nobody wants to see that!

They would have to beat us 6-0? No?

No, if they beat us we will be on the same points. One more game to play after this

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

ortega
rico , stones , gvardiol , ake
phillips
foden , kovacic , alvarez
doku , haaland , grealish

seven changes , plenty good enough to secure the point required for top spot ,ederson , walker , rodri , bernardo needed for the Spuds game , would take a boring 1-1 and game time for Stones.

 

[jimharri]

Does he track back ?

Only on a wet Wednesday night in Stoke.

 

[Ric]

I’d like to see something like this:

Ortega
Walker
Akanji
Gvardiol
Gomez
Kovacic
Lewis
Foden
Grealish
Doku
Haaland

But suspect Guardiola will go much stronger than that. He’ll try and get the game won early and then make changes I think.

Think Akanji is likely to be rested, as he played 3 full international games before Liverpool and may be tired.

What one more game?

 

[Barcon]

What one more game?

Red Star.

 

[meeesh]

Red Star.

Sorry, my head had gone completely, been one of those days

 

[meeesh]

No, if they beat us we will be on the same points. One more game to play after this

Yea, sorry

 

[Barcon]

Yea, sorry

You were right though. If they beat us 6-0 hey will move ahead of us.
3-0 or 4-1 would do it as well.

Good point. Maybe Dias instead then, as I think Guardiola said today that Ake can’t play every three days.

Dead rubber should be an entertaining game and we get another light show

Nothing dead about this game; first place up for grabs and the small matter of €2.8 million for the 3 points.

I'm looking forward to it.
