Am I the only one bored to tears by team selection predictions? Only one I'm interested in is the one that comes out one hour before the game. Anything else is academic.

Isn't everything written on here just speculation and bollocks?

Nothing speculative about what I write. It is all bollocks though, granted.

If we are riddled with injuries and have only 7 players left standing, this would still be going on!

Doku in reserve as the only impact sub if required. Give gomez another start on the wing with the intention of him playing against newcastle too, giving him a little run to see what he can produce. Phillips to get 30 minutes not just the last 5-10 and a start against newcastle, whether pep trusts him or not, hes needed. Some rotation at the back as the only position we have some cover. Could see us naming just 5 outfield subs on the bench. I wouldn't risk kovacic if he isn't absolutely 100% fit, not worth potentially losing him for longer. he can skip newcastle and have another week to recover if he needs it or even play 30 minutes midweek to shake off any rust.

If we do our job, we can have the game sewn up inside 60 can use what's left of the bench to preserve legs and see it out. Important we start at a high tempo and not drag it out for the entire 90/100 with the current numbers we have available.

This seems to be becoming a more popular opinion.

What do you want to see in these threads?

This question is open to the guys moaning about it in the Red Star thread too.

Tempted to triple captain haaland for this.
He has missed a load of chances in the last 2 games and that usually means he bags a hat trick.

Personally I’m saving that for Luton at home ;-)
