Hope the Viking had packed his scoring boots tonight …..

Stones over Kovacic in midfield is pretty damning.

Phillips and Kovacic supposed to have been bought to help out Rodri.

We’ll done Martin O’Neil and Gael Cliche for praising Pep in the pre match interview on Amazon Prime.

I struggle looking at the starting 11 and thinking the midfield looks weak, even more so with Phillips, Nunez, Kovacic on the bench. That said if Stones stays fit and Lewis plays well we could still control the game.

 

[Blue Til Death]

I’d take a narrow defeat now.

I’d take a narrow defeat now.

Absolute state of the last few pages.

Get a grip ffs, half of u don't deserve this club.

You'd think we were starting with Pollock and Brannan in midfield with their nonsense.

Haaland has aged quite a bit in the last few days…

Walker really had to play tonight but is pep going to play him every game now he is captain! It's just when we had four centre backs last season we looked solid as a rock!

Our bench isn't great. We don't have a lot of options if things aren't working out. Pep probably won't make any subs anyway though.

I can't see us not conceding with that line up. If we get anything depends how clinical we are going forward.
