Brentford (A) - Sun 28th May, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[Tangled up in blue.]

Anyone know a pro City bar in Puerto Del Carmen? Been online but not sure about where to go with so many other games that will be showing …!

Arthurs bar, lanzarotes supporters club.
It's behind the Dubliners bar on the main road

Great thanks mate, much appreciated:-)

WTF had happened with the injuries? WITHOUT playing any games(Grealish, Dias, Laporte).
Are these too minor issues and they will be fine??

Not fit isn’t necessarily the same as injured. Could just mean fatigued. Or hungover

I see we're wearing the new kit for this. Can we wear new for the Prem but keep this seasons for FA and CL?

Oh Pep in the interview had said that he will give 2 days off after Brentford to the players. In order to get disconnected, clear their minds etc.
I'm not sure I like this approach, I would have preferred 1 day off but he knows much better I guess :) He said from his experience this approach is better than training, training, training hard all the time.

I guess he trusts the players not to drink or eat garbage these 2 days, I just hope this is true :)
I just wanted 5 days of training before the final but it's ok this probably works too.

Let's hope Brentford game will be with a strong team (Ederson, Walker, Dias, Akanji/Ake, Stones, KDB, Gundogun, Rodri, Silva/Foden/Mahrez, Haaland, Grealish) and at 60' or so to start making the 5 substitutes, and no injuries to come and all players be fit for Wednesday to train hard these 3 days.

I hope players play around at their 80 % or so and not get their feet into fire of course, no need to get in danger of an injury but not to be playing lightly too. It should be in the perfect balance of spending enough energy and get into playing rhythm but not too much to risk anything.

Just out of curiosity (I know it's off thread) — what's it like living in Lanzarote? I mean all year round, including the winters?

Great thanks mate, much appreciated:-)

Was in PDC for madrid game. Watched in ORiellys bar. Not great but plenty big screens

I'm not bothered either way, just don't want him anywhere near the finals. His forms fell off a cliff these last few games. And before all you Mahrez lovers weigh in, he's one of my favourite players, but we can't carry anybody.

Spot on mate!
Not for the faint hearted this one.
Although he could run them ragged for the last 10-15 mins or so!

The problem with Ryad, is that he's either shit hot, or shit. No middle ground. However, he's always a danger from the bench against tired legs, but when he's on a lull then it's a definite no no to start. But he is an exceptional talent,no argument.
