It’s like banging your head against a brick wall trying to impart knowledge to some people.

Yes but how long will it be before Foden gets fed up with being dropped & looks for a move away? :-)

Doku on hopefully for at least 30 minutes if things are going well and a nice home debut. Nunes should at least be in the squad though as he was registered on time?

you cant blame the lad after playing so well and then being dropped.

Really excited to see Doku and looking forward to seeing Foden continue his good form.

Palhinha missing for them would give us a big advantage.

Marco Silva is a very good coach so I doubt this'll be straight forward but it'd be great if we could have the game sewn up by the hour mark and were able to bring Rodri off early for a much needed rest.

Having said that, I'd obviously take a boring 1-0 right now. 4/4 would be our best start since Pep's first season and then we can really move through the gears after the international break.

This kind of clear and sensible perspective has no place on this Forum.

Can you watch the game on Paramount+?

Not sure why Rodri or anyone needs a rest this week. No one’s played for 6 days and his next game (for Spain) is 6 days away.

Be too late unfortunately, the transfer window closes tonight.

I know this probably sounds crazy but isn’t this the perfect game to give Rodri a rest and give Phillips a run out ?

Bat shit crazy
