Brentford (H) - Wed 17th Dec, 19:30 | EFL Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[alexmcity]

As expected, that's close to their best available team, arguably stronger than vs Leeds...

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Fuck me this Charlie Gray lad literally looks about 9! Excited to see him get a few mins if he’s the next big thing on the Pep conveyor belt?

 

[Halloween Jack]

You sound unprepared.
You knoew he'd be playing so you've had all day to move any possible projectiles away from the TV.

I've just got in.

 

[Gordyola]

Staggering to see Nico G in the squad never mind starting he looked knackered on Sunday He was the only regular starter v Leverkusen hardly had a rest thank goodness he’s not played for Spain

 

[axlgod]

Savinho to score tonight.

 

[dadnlad]

He's young and fit as a fiddle. He'll be fine.

might be walking football tonight

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Meh

I'd've gone with...


@Damocles
@Stoned Rose @Barcon @idahoblues @bladdered
@pepguardiola'smoustache @Bigg Bigg Blue
@TinFoilHat @jimharri
@johnny crossan @gordondaviesmoustache

And we'd still win easily

**** FC

he had 2 weeks off

 

[Xhavenjoe]

We aren't that good we can change as menu as that and play much weaker players than the starting 11. Brentford will be up for this and beating us is still an incentive, close loss for me.

With the exceptionof Mukasa, the rest are all internationals , many hoping to appear at next year's World Cup.

 

[samuelyeboah]

stronger than i would have wanted

 

[big gaz]

So, that was about right.

Didn't expect Gonzalez to start. Maybe this means Rodri will come back soon...

Fucking Sat would be okay, Nico is gassed.

 

[blue ranger]

Mad that we have no cover for Nico in the squad whatsoever. Kovacic out til March and Rodri who knows. Surely if Rodri doesn't play any meaningful minutes soon we'll need to address in Jan. Even a loan.

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

**** FC

Right.
you are spare goalie.

 

[Gordyola]

he had 2 weeks off

Pep would still play him if he hadn’t

 

[abu13]

Starting to wonder if there is more to Philips absence than we know. He isnt getting any minutes at all. Nobody wanting him on loan either.

 

[Gazza]

**** FC

You're right, they **** win fuck all.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Right.
you are spare goalie.

Hey I’m no substitute ****.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

We have Phillips.

Your guess as to why Pep hasn't decided to use him tonight, let alone include him in the squad, is just as good as anyone's.

 

[youngbob]

Brentford fans not happy with that team.

No Thiago or Henderson.

 

[hilts]

Nico G playing, see pep has learnt the lessons of Rodri.
