It's very sad, I'll give him a rousing send off for you. Unfortunately he's been injured forever now, we have plenty of great memories though. Agueeeeeeeerooooooo!!!!!!

I am so glad i got to see him play three times in the last couple of years , same with dave and vinny , would have been gutted if i didnt

I fully expect the same inept officiating again in this match to try and injure our players prior to the CL final.
Some might say that’s ridiculous but there is absolutely zero explanation coming back from yesterday’s blatant corrupt officiating.

Absolute the right time to play a whole reserve side. If anyone asks why , just say if the officials can't protect our players, we will

THIS!!!!

Many players looked rusty and against Brighton since some of them have not played for two weeks. I won't be surprised if Pep selects a strong side for this game to get them game time.

We were one man down but still it was shocking how we could not build from the back, lost possession easily and had to result to long balls to Foden.

Injuries are a risk but it can't be worse than having many players off pace, we need rhythm.

It’s our 60th game of a truncated seasons. The starting 11 will have averaged over 40 appearances + internationals. Yesterday’s match was probably the most tiring of the season, the players looked exhausted at the end. They don’t need another game

I wouldn’t play a single player that’l Play on the 29th , it’s too risky & as solley Attwell said , the refs can’t ( won’t) protect our players then we have to.

Well the good news is we can trust Pep to make the right call, but I think he will make decisions on individual cases on who needs rest and who needs to play, we rotated enough already to arrive fresh at this stage and 10 days without game time until the final is too much of a gap, let's see.

Given Brighton's thuggery in a nothing match last night I hope we play all our reserves, risk nobody.

Last night I kept thinking of Nigel De Jong.

The results tonight mean Everton can still qualify for Europe so will be busting a gut and kicking lumps out of us on Sunday

more reason to rest our key players

I think he will give Aguero some time, otherwise I have no idea. He is a better coach than I would ever be, but if we lose and get key players injured, I might wish I never said that.
