I expect it to be Laporte on the left and Walker on the bench

i did but Wal

It’s literally the smallest. We’ve used the fewest players. O

smallest in numbers, not the smallest in the number of players that are at the required level. Quite a few teams have squads full of ‘filler’

And I don't want to see Walker in midfield at all. He's nowhere near good enough on the ball and will give away possession in dangerous situations.

Let’s all remember that not 1 of these so called pundits/journalists/dipshits know anything about OUR club. Don’t let them ruin what could be a fantastic night. Greatness awaits.

We are really here and we are about to kick ass.

We have a small squad , the difference we have probably sixteen players and the level doesnt drop they are all contributing when they play , and is why when we get injuries it is not critical , the pre-match for this game is a complete joke on various media platforms , regarding our spending etc not one of them have stated we are TENTH in the net spend league over the last five seasons , f*cking West Ham have spent more !!!!

So what Kleown really means is we have assembled the best squad.

Come on lads

Thought eric would be a shoe in

I think Guardiola sees him as a bit slow and lacking in mobility against a winger like Saka. Also Saka likes to cut inside onto his left foot, so maybe a right footed defender can negate that more easily.

Laporte would of been fine playing the position Ake has played.

Oh I know that I didn’t word what I said well.

I meant because we have such quality on the bench it gives off this illusion we have a huge squad when we have a small squad littered with world class quality

We have four players of great quality on the bench that's all

I feel quite calm. Currently watching Wrath of Khan on Film Four. We got this, they looked utterly spent Friday night, Saturday we looked like we'd mildly exerted ourselves after playing an infant's XI.

To coin a phrase

 

[PragueBlue]

Laporte would of been fine playing the position Ake has played.

We'll never know (unless he comes on at some stage).
