Or the F.A. could dock us some points, that's the quay thing.

Week before the cup final so highly possible.

Wouldn’t want to lose Gvardiol or Dias

Pep is more likely to rest players in a cup final than a game that could be pivotal for the CL. I still think he might if the Bournemouth game is still important. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see a cup final line up that includes Grealish, Rico Lewis, Savinho and Foden.

Kick off time 15:00 BST.

Not far from securing CL football now. These are arguably the worst team in PL history, have to be getting 3 points.

Two words; sounds like zippical witty.

 

[Gorbachev]

Haaland will be on Peps case all week to play so he can try and rack up a last minute dash of goals to his tally this season.

Soton lost 2-0 to the mighty Leicester today. They had 8 shots with just 2 on target. If we can’t beat that lot, I give up.

We will. They are crap. Bournemouth won’t be easy though. Full of pace them.

If we beat Soton, I think we’re home and hosed, our rivals are all going to drop points. Both Chelsea and Forest could easily lose tomorrow and Monday.
Even Arse lost today.

[birchwoodgingerste]

Rest gvardiol and kdb play them in cup final
Start akanki cb and oreily lb
Pay haaland doku marmosh front 3

[wolfie1988]

Why are people talking about resting players a full week before the cup final? Rhythm.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Ederson

Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
O'Reilly

Kovacic
Bernardo
Foden

Doku
De Bruyne
Marmoush

I'm hoping to see Marmoush starting centrally rather than out wide.

Start with a strong line up and keep the momentum going into the FA Cup Final.

If ever there was a banana skin for us to slip on, you wouldn’t bet against it being this one.

My thoughts as well. But we are grinding out results for an old codgers team.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Do we reckon the big Norwegian starts for this one?

 

[Fordyboy46]

Do we reckon the big Norwegian starts for this one?

I think we'll bring him on if we're a couple of goals up pal

Haaland wouldnt miss playing the Saints defence, like Bodhi and the 50 year storm at the end of Point Break
