Definitely.

He subbed himself off.

Bummer

 

[King Jay]

Can only imagine peps playing him now because he should be nowhere near the starting 11 when the season starts.

Because we have no one else to give us width on the right

 

[I'm Blue]

Pep firing them up.
Let’s hope it works.
‘I want my warriors’

 

[wolviedinho]

Hopefully rodders just precaution. Need to give him time

 

[Gaz76]

We really do never fail to entertain, pep basically telling the whole squad " FUCK PENALTIES LADS WE NEED TO SCORE!!!"

 

[DiscoSteve]

Fook alarm clock's gonna go off soon!

 

[pbueno16]

What happened to Rodri? Felt something?

Looked to be walking off normally. Probably just isn’t ready for this many minutes at this intensity yet.

 

[TonyM]

Hope Foden is OK to continue.

 

[gray740]

Refs thinking of his Ferrari keys at the hotel.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Dog has just grabbed his lead and headed off for a walk on his own

 

[Goater101]

Cherki is a must starter over fucking savio

 

[ThreesKompany]

Have we used all our subs now?

Yeah. They've done six.

Just looked. Three shots on target. Three goals for Al-Hilal. Some things never change.

 

[bluebanana83]

Deserved as well. Cherki with a great ball. Looks like he could be our Mahrez replacement. Someone who may look lazy or not in the game but will always produce the moment of quality when it’s needed.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

How is Savinho still on the pitch seriously. I'm getting Peligrini and Navas vibes.

Because without Nunes we need someone to hold width. Savinho being on the pitch means we can play Cherki and Foden in free-ish roles, in the centre. Take Savinho off and one of Foden or Cherki has to just stand there holding width, as we’ve no attacking full back.

 

[Muttley59]

need some factor 50 there phil

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

The more you watch that finish, the better is. Almost like a snooker shot kissed into the corner pocket, beautifully deft for a ball coming out of the sky

 

[mind your car Mr?]

If we could defend we'd be unbeatable, why keep making the same mistakes, it's baffling ffs

 

[BringBackSwales]

Pep will never play them together knowing him lol

Stfu u knob. Pep is so shit! Knowing Pep, tit

 

[DiscoSteve]

Isn't there nearly $10 million riding on this result?

 

[come-on-barney]

If it’s penalties put Ortega on, if we have the subs.
