This is no dead rubber game. It's England v Scotland FFS!

I completely agree on Gunn, I'm actually really disappointed because in the summer Pep said he'd give games to all the keepers, and mentioned Gunn specificly when he said that. This is the only dead rubber we will play all season, and now the league cup has gone and the FA cup is away to West Ham, it seems there'll be no debut for Gunn this season afterall.

Think you're being optimistic if you think more than 2 kids will play though.

Yeah that was more of the line up I'd have gone with. Maybe Clichy at LB and Angelino in CM maybe? Can definitely see all of Maffeo, Tosin and Angelino starting.

Hope so see some of the youth get some game time to see how they handle a physical game. Theres nothing to play for but imagine Celtic will still want to get one over us so expect a full blooded game from them. Maybe a chance to tinker with some players and tactics too.

No it's not England v Scotland, it's a dead rubber with a chance to give squad players a game.

I'd leave Nacho out. Pointless fixture and knowing us he'd get injured so no strikers for at least a month.

I agree but come on surely we want to win it as well? It is England v Scotland and pride is at stake if nothing else

Same here but you could say he needs game time,difficult one

This would be the perfect game for Gunn. A shame Guardiols seems so give Big Willy the nod.

Gunn - Maffeo, Tosin, Otamendi, Angelino - Fernando, Delph, Fernandes - Sane, Iheanacho, Nolito

Not for me. Willy is acknowledged as #2 and needs game time too

 

[york away to this!]

Noticed lots of green and white scarves fluttering from the great unwashed on the motorway earlier...
