Who cares, this is our B team. None of them gonna be starters for us anyway this season, besides Stones.

Just not true. We don't have a B team. Some are perhaps more likely to play than others and some of the kids are a bit behind but any from Danilo, Stones,Yaya,Sane,Sterling and Silva could all be considered in any so called strongest 11. That's more than half the team, the rest are 3 kids, a backup keeper and Mangala who could very easily see himself playing a fair few games if he's the backup centre back this season.

nice stadium

It will be no good in the uk. Might get a little wet.

 

[MarsLlama]

Better than him stagnating as a sub wingback?

It's Pep, not Conte. We won't always use wingbacks.

At work, can't watch but I'll assume there's plenty of

going on...

Mangala, the brilliant ball-playing CB strikes again.

 

[01cravend]

Pep's already said he will sometimes play a three and sometimes a four.

Wipe your fanny, this is a friendly, what better time to try and bed in a new system when the team already played 55+ with a four last season?

Wipe my fanny? What the fuck does that even mean? You must be old.

That was good mangler

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Great tackle from The Mangler!

 

[Clercqs]

Yes Mangler

And that breeds complacency amongst the A teamers if there is no one putting pressure on them to perform consistently. We should look better than this against Girona (a team I'd never heard of until we bought them).
