Think he's been injured or something, because I have not seem him in the EDS squads for several months. The only EDS full backs who could potentially start against Shakhtar would be Duhaney at RB (Danilo LB) or Davenport LB (Danilo RB). Davenport almost made the bench against Wolves and I have heard that Pep likes him, so I think he could travel with the squad

Oh right thanks. Thought Davenport was a cm last time I saw him?

No one should travel who isn't considered unequivocally second string. This game is the deadest of dead rubbers and some of our first team squad look like they need a break. Ukraine is a hell of a way to travel when you have to play Scum a few days later.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Not many sides get the opportunity to rest key players, in a CL game, in the middle of the busiest part of the season. Please use the opportunity Pep. Don't use your interviews to remind us how difficult the fixture list is and then go and play a strong team in a dead rubber.

 

[Pam]

It will be such a shitter if we have to lose our unbeaten record in this game but we surely have little option but to play a 'weak' team & they are a good side.

Na. This is the perfect game to lose the unbeaten record. Either then or at Leicester in the Apathy Cup

delph is a key player now,it really will be the height of stupidity to take anyone who will play or be on the bench on sunday,if pep is that reckless i will be calling him out on it and ignore all the pelters i will get for it,i don't give the slightest fuck about this game

Agreed,I’m with you on this it’s a dead rubber for us I don’t give two fucks about Shakhtar or Napoli wonder if they would play strong teams if they were already qualified,it’s a big if but let’s say we end up a couple of players injured in key positions then what all for what to appease uefa and Napoli fuck that,on a side note is this game an early kick off as in 5-30..

Na. This is the perfect game to lose the unbeaten record.

I wouldn't say losing our winning mentality four days before the derby is 'perfect' but it probably is the most pointless game of our season.

Personally, I wouldn't have anyone aged over 20 on the plane. I'd also like to see pep give it a miss too and let Wilcox manage the team.
It doesn't matter and we have big games coming up
