Great to hear Pep give a shout out to James Macatee and that he wants to take him in the squad this year. Said he's learned a lot playing week in, week out in the PL and it's a tough classroom to be relegated. Says hes one of the few players who can play in the tight spaces and is looking forward to integrating him into the team as he knows his qualities.

Always liked the lad. A couple of seasons on loan will have toughened him up a bit. I hope we can get at least half a Phil out of him.

Any leaked lineups floating around? ;-)

Can i just remind people that if we play poor and lose, it doesn't mean anything.

If we win, it proves we are going to do the quad...

Complete guess at the starting line-up:

Ortega
Lewis
Mbete
Doyle
Wilson-Esbrand
Phillips
Perrone
McAtee

Can’t believe you’ve put Phillips in ahead of Rodri.

Rag.

My dad lives in North Carolina these days so is going today. Apparently the ‘Brit’ shop has fish and chips and a Canadian chicken dish…ah that old pub classic

Did he get a denim jacket?

Reckon it will be very close to this. With Rico inverting I could see Doyle LB and Katongo + Mbete as CBs (instead of JWE)
