It recently feels like Pep been testing whether Palmer could be Gundo's long term replacement or not.

There 2nd string stronger than ours.

Not sure what to make of that, it's a strong team on paper with many players that might play weekend involved but not sure that front line is scoring. Who's going to supply Alvarez? Rather us have gone full strength for 60 minutes or full eds.

Looking at their squad they've pretty much fully rotated too as expected but it's still a strong team on paper.

Strong team..which is pleasing in many respects but at the same time, I feel a bit conflicted because I'd like us to just sack this tournament off this season. Going to be far too hectic later on if we keep progressing through the rounds.

Wish Borges had made the bench but it never seemed all that likely

 

[paulchapo]

It's going to be a struggle tonight with that lineup

 

[plattlanebenches]

Cheers. A few changes for them as well.

 

[MCFC1993]

Think their XI might be a touch stronger.

Grealish and Mahrez has never and will never work
