Stones needs resting.

 

[Rammy Blue]

There has to be some rotation, some players need to get match fit again, so this and Wednesday‘s game give Pep the perfect opportunity.
The funny thing is the defence looks really strong!
I think we’ll win this comfortably - 3-0 to us.

I’d start Gomez, if he can’t perform we may as well fuck him off to a CFG club.

Whats happened to Wilson Esbrand?

Stones needs resting.

Our best defender and always should start, sure he would agree but then chelsea don't really have any attack of note so resting him for this would be sensible in auch a cramped fixture list

I’m so desperate for us to have a decent left footed left back that I think we need to make a call on Gomez, if he isn’t going to be trusted or good enough then why waste a squad space on him, pretty sure we could find a left back in the Jan window that would do 6 months for us.

Still shudder remembering getting beat by Halifax

Was there that day… 11 years old and still traumatised by it !!!

If Phillips plays can we chant “You’re now fit to wear the shirt”?
