Henry believes in our Phil :)

CL for me again this year, to go two in a row would be remarkable and it's at Wembley.

I think the fact it's at Wembley is a shame, it's just so fucking bland, easy for fans to get to, i understand that but not the same as winning it in a stadium abroad imo

I’d leave walker wrapped in cotton wool the the Madrid battle. Rest Rodri and Stonesy too

If he’s in contention for Madrid, surely he needs minutes on Saturday.

That’s a bad idea. If we make say 6 changes for example (I actually think it might be 7), then with the 5 subs during the game we are actually able to give rest to the entire starting 11.

But if you make next to no changes, we can only rest a maximum of 5 if we use all subs. Pretty much everyone needs the rest, so it’ll be 5 changes at an absolute minimum, but I think probably 7 coming in (Ederson, Rico, Nunes, KDB, Doku, Bobb, Alvarez)

That is why I said strongest, thereabouts possible/available 11 - subject to injury and fatigue. Not suggesting no changes and risking players

Tick over training for Rodders until Monday.

Home with the kids on Saturday.

A full physical, emotional and mental chill out !!

Same for Phil,John & Bernard.

Let Ricco,Bobby, Nunes, Julian & Kovacic take up the strain.

Sense prevails.

I hope we absolutely smash these, it might be the only time we play them when we are at this level. I can still feel the pain of 1983

Not a chance Rodri plays, it seems to be somewhat psychological that we can't win without him. I guess it stems from the 3 games earlier this season but two were Arsenal & VIlla away and the other a cup game. We hammered Luton without him in the cup a few weeks ago and did ok last season the times he didn't play.

Last season we had Gundogan who could do a great job as a 6, no one so far has shown they can step in as well.

I think Rodri, Stones, Phil, Bernardo and maybe Josko will be rested Saturday.

If Walker’s fit enough he’ll play an hour or so with Rico at left back.

Champions league is the first priority！

To who?

Didn't Foden and Bernardo sit a game out only a couple of weeks ago? Also Gvardiol hasn't played that much recently. Rodri and Stones would be my only changes.
