[ESP Blue]

Many saying the bench is weak, makes little difference when no subs are made.

Pathetic from the NY Red Bulls official account, who like their English version don’t even play in the city whose name they cynically choose to appropriate

 

[Gone for a Burton]

With the exception of Scotty, that must be one of the youngest benches we've ever had in the CL

I like the look of that team selection

 

[jimharri]

No way, an actual 4-3-3!

Would have had foden in otherwise correct team. The bench is a huge worry though, if it looks like that with just 3 injuries in the squad. Imagine if we get a proper injury crisis, we're far far too small.

But we have an enormous squad - everyone says so!

This is a pragmatic team - good to see there shouldn’t be any messing about with formations. Hopefully we can take control, take our chances and get back with a win. The worry is that if we need to change the game there is only Foden and Alvarez, and any problem with Rodri or Gundogan and it’s either Phillips who doesn’t have enough game time (and I don’t think Pep trusts) or Perone who is untried.

Hoping for a nice boring win.

Sweep just said CR7 on live TV. Tosser.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Forsberg is so smart, Rodders has to keep him quiet.

Jack should have Klosterman on toast.

Leipzig should be tempted to have a go as well,
hope Erling gets some space on the counter!

Strong team weak bench.

I'm not having that; we've got the biggest squad in the football world and could field two teams that would both win the premier league AND the champions league, EVERYBODY knows that ;)
