[SWPISHOME]

It does feel like Saturday this morning.

I reckon we'll be all out to win this. Put the league to bed, make a statement, crack on with the CL. 3 or 4-1 to City.

I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday too. Must be excitement in the blood for us.

You're going to be crucified for that comment. And rightly so.

weather he starts is shrouded in mystery

 

[ancoats]

Apparently he’s nailed on to start...

he's shit on crosses

Don't have all of the minutes but Dias, Stones and Zinchenko were the only ones to play 270 minutes although Bernardo and Cancelo weren't too far short of it.

Didn't Gundogan start all three games too?

Didn't Gundogan start all three games too?

He did actually, you're right. Had it in my head he was subbed off against Macedonia for some reason.

I can think of 6 starters who've had plenty of rest this last week
Add in the Portugal lads who've had an extra days rest and there's not much to complain about.
Time to put this league to bed

The good thing going for us is that we have several players who didn't play. I'm expecting Jesus Fernandinho and Laporte to run around like greyhounds released from trap 6.
Garcia must be held in high regard in Spain as he played nearly 3 full matches
