A charity shield win coupled with a first day win away from home almost feels like an impossibility. Have we ever done that before?Tough opener made even more difficult without Rodri. I'm sure Pep has a plan and has been working on how we set up in training all week. A draw would not be a bad result, a win would be fantastic.
No Rodri no win sadly, the Euros have messed up our pre-season more than any of our rivals. I bet Palmer's fucking fit to go...
2018/2019 We beat Chelsea 2-0 in the CS and followed up with a 2-0 away win at Arsenal. Let's hope we get the same result tomorrow.A charity shield win coupled with a first day win away from home almost feels like an impossibility. Have we ever done that before?
Agree with this more or less. Rodri is superb, but we aren't a one man team.FFS they are champions winning teams, they should capable winning the match without Rodri.
the players should hang themselves in shame if they completely depended on one person just to function as team.
Our season is longer than most clubs other than Chelsea this season. Giving the players suitable time off may pay dividends come May, followed by June and July for the club World Cup.That's the frustrating thing. Why isn't Rodders good to go? Mbappe got to the semis and played in the super cup last week.
Not being match fit is piss poor, in my opinion.
5 or perhaps 6 points from the first 3 games would represent a solid enough start given fitness issues and the loss of our best pre season player.Got the feeling this might be too early for us, predicting a draw
Based on the experience of last season he seems to be badly missed when out.FFS they are champions winning teams, they should capable winning the match without Rodri.
