Napoli (H) - Thu 18th Sept, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Goater=Legend]

5 academy players on the bench and 2 in the first ix

 

[shemnel]

unchanged XI. I did think Khusanov would drop to be guaranteed a weekend start, but there you go

up the Blues.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Bet that McPrick scores against us but we should have enough. 3 1

 

[mosssideblue]

Great starting 11

Besides injury, I dont see why he cant play both.

 

[malg]

Malpractice? Wtf

I was going to post similar....

 

[Roachy]

Should see a fusilli challenges tonight

Could end up with someone getting a penne.

 

[Dazzle84]

Even after all this time he still has the capacity to surprise me. That, my friends, is how you keep the romance alive.

I'll retract this statement should anything untoward happen to Rodri.

Considering Kev is nailed on to score that would make it 3-2 :)

Should see a fusilli challenges tonight

Which could lead to a penne

 

[ScottSinclair]

Should have been Bobb over Bernie

 

[ninjamonkey]

Not a fan of that. Big concerns over Rodri playing again for me. would have switched a few more too, we'll see on Sunday whether naming an unchanged side was a wise idea or not. No excuses for tonight now, he's going all out so has to get the win.

 

[Gorbachev]

Wow. Sunday is going to be a tough watch as I assume Rodri, gvardiol and foden all will not play! I’m not surprised pep has gone so strong given how much he values this comp

Gvardiol and Foden I could understand after only recently being injured, but for me, Rodri needs games not rest.

Needs to play himself into fitness.

 

[ThreesKompany]

Malpractice? Wtf

Yeah. A guy who is off an ACL and isn't at full match fitness shouldn't be starting three matches in eight days. Gvardiol hadn't played a match for 2 1/2 months and is needed Sunday. Almost similar deal for Foden. It's September. Prioritize Sunday over this. Hopefully, I am wrong.

 

[SaintColin]

More chance of winning this than the Prem to be honest. No point saving Rodri et al for Arsenal if we still get dicked. One game at a time.

I agree to be honest. All you need is luck and timing to win this competition.

Those three need to get fitter and get into game shape.
I hope Pep manages their minutes though as there's options on the bench.

Penne for your thoughts on team selection...

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Considering Kev is nailed on to score that would make it 3-2 :)

Ill take that right now :)

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Thought Rodri might get a rest as he looked goosed against United.

 

[Legal Alien]

Any news on Stones? I thought he was training.
