Hahaha. Non compliance ......mmmmm we're good at that.

 

[skillman]

Kinell. No Phil. Hopefully not needed from the bench either

 

[Blue Steel]

Kev to start and Phil benched apparently.

I know Phil has played a lot lately (thanks TwatGate) but nervous at the thought of in-form players being benched.

 

[Claytop]

Kev for Phil, not a bad option to be able to have.

Exactly. Kev will play 60/65 minutes and if winning come off for Nunes? If we need Phil expect a run out. We want players as fresh for Tuesday.

 

[CC1]

Think he got a bit of a knock at the end of the Villa game.

 

[paulchapo]

Strange team Palace. We always seem to struggle against them whether we win or not.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

No foden today just shows how important Pep sees him. Obviously the first name in the team sheet vs Madrid

 

[aka blue jambo]

Stones starts too

Try 'rested' instead of 'benched' or 'dropped'.

Real away will be a game with a lot more intensity than today and we'll need Foden's energy there. Also, it's better to start with fresh players than with players who played 60 hours ago. Imo, Pep's going to make 5-6 changes from Wednesday.
