Didn’t think Pep would put out such a young defence. Impressive.
Show us what you’ve got guys. The glory and a great future awaits you.

Wow wasn’t expecting that from pep the two young lads at CB hope they both have a fantastic game,as unlike other teams who pitch academy players in any mistake will be pounced upon by the media..

Firstly..... love the line up with the young lads. We have to give them a go.

The only thing that we could have done differently is either play Rodri or ferna in the holding role and play Eddie in goal...both these options would have helped the two young lads at centre half. However I completely understand why pep wouldn’t do this as he needs to rotate and protect certain players .... the two young lads at centr half won’t get as much protection from Gundogan and bravo doesn’t make the experienced defenders as comfortable with playing out from the back.....

However at least we will know that if they do well today they would do even better with other players around them.

What is the PNE team like? They have made lots of changes in earlier rounds.

6 changes from their game at the weekend apparently

Is Zinchenko injured?

 

[shroom]

Does anyone know if Preston are playing their normal first team?

checking the PNE online forum ... 5 changes from the weekend ... some fans are happy, some think line-up is surprisingly weak

He almost had no choice, it would have been mental to play either Otamendi or Fernandinho in this, given their ages and our injury situation. So aside from playing Walker or Rodri at CB as an experiment, the kids were the clear choice.
