He didn’t say that.

Sorry not out, a doubt .

Proper plea from Pep to the fans for tomorrow. Players aren't in the best condition and a bit light on numbers. They're going to need us.

No Stones, possibly no Dias or Bernardo. Give or take a couple of position changes but the 11 picks itself:

---------------Ederson
Walker---Akanji---Ake---Gvardiol
---------------Rodri
------Kovacic-----Alvarez
Foden-------Haaland----Grealish

Akanji up against Isak *covers eyes*

Treble-winning footballer Akanji, yes. Have some respect!

 

[Claytop]

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Akanji/Gvardiol
Ake
Rodri
Kovacic
Grealish
Foden
Alvarez
Haaland

Best case scenario I guess.

Amazing how we’ve let the squad get to the bare bones.

 

[Phil1]

We will pit these pretenders in their place tomorrow.

---------------Ederson
Walker---Dias---Gvaridol---Ake
---------------Rodri
------Foden-----Alvarez
Palmer-------Haaland----Grealish

Yep agreed and it's still August, very worrying.

It really is a bit hard to wrap my head around... I understand Bernardo is out and you can't predict for KDB's injury but our bench tomorrow I think you could argue is the weakest, certainly most inexperienced, it's ever been under Pep.
