No listing on channel 5 ?

DAZN account required I believe

 

[bakerdave76]

No it’s on DAZN

Which one have loads on fire stick?

 

[Rammy Blue]

11 playing, 13 subs. No Echeverri. Squad of 27, which other 2 miss out?

Edit Lewis is one, who is the other?

14 subs mate, so 25 in total. Just the 2 you’ve said missing.

I'm groaning here at Doku and Savinho. The rest, I love! Strong bench too.

I respect Doku for at least trying to take on his man and get to the bye line and cross it more than half the time he has the ball...Savinho much less so in my opinion but I'm hoping that changes as he is blessed with a lot of natural ability.

Rodri!

Not far off the strongest available XI.

Marmoush in the 9 will be interesting.

Rodri? Wow!

I know it’s on dazn uk, not sure about anywhere else

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Didn't Pep say he'd be making some changes at half time with the heat? Is it a maximum of 5 subs?

 

[heslops barnet]

I'm pretty shocked to see Rodri starting. I thought he, understandably, looked way off the pace when he came on versus a defeated side in the last match.

Needs game time to get up to speed….45 minutes will do him good

 

[ninjamonkey]

Their side looks crap on paper. should be winning this well.

 

[flook]

has Pep gone full Pep again?? Surprised to see half of those starting

 

[55yr old teenager]

So did I ……. It’s on that daft channel.

What channel is that?

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Cheers pal. 66, not had a day off work since early 1984 (after Walsall v City, won 3 1 in the snow, got a chest infection) was beginning to think I was immortal lol

You'll be right mate. The day I saw you at Southampton you didn't look a day over 50 and chatting away to all the stewards good on yer fella. Enjoy the crete Sun.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Only Nunes, Ait Nouri and Akanji starting after 90 mins vs Al Ain.

Thought it would even be less to rest players but the lads seem to be fit. Nice.

 

[Cobwebcat]

What time do we start moaning?

About 20 minutes ago apparently.

 

[robbieh]

Have to agree. Attacking fullbacks and Savinho and Doku.

If anything, the Juve coach has 'gone Pep'. He's dropped all their best players. Probably going to go for it in the second half.

 

[BigJoe#1]

Rodri!

Like it.... not the very strongest but a good test gauge.

exactly this, with those full backs I'd expect Cherki and Foden rather than Doku and Sav, but wtf do I know

Unfortunately we are playing on grass, young man :)

Really shocked Rodri is starting, I, in my know nothing opinion claimed he wouldn't even see any minutes in this, couldnt have been more wrong on that. He looks miles off being able to start, he does have bernardo and reijnders to help him through it though. I expect he'll be subbed at halftime, I think Pep has a plan for the full compliment of subs to be used early keeping one back for injuries.

Its an odd lineup, stick haaland in that side and you say yeah okay, looks like we'll attack the flanks and give him plenty of deliveries from wide, without him though you want more inventiveness from the midfield and out wide as theres no target in the middle. I bet when he brings haaland on, he'll take off the supply line and bring on cherki and foden with him.

marmoush has yet to show any glimpses of being capable of playing as the striker, Let's hope today is the first as he really needs to offer that option.

Reijnders in his position with a strong midfield, this is where we see what hes about, expecting him to get right up in support of marmoush. Fancy him to score in this.

Marmoush won goal of the season with his 35yarder.
