OK - haven't read 18 pages but ....Is KdB suspended because of number of yellow cards?
Zinchenko is not in the CL squad. -
Who , and what position is Daniel Grimshaw ?

KDB is suspended because of yellows, Zinchenko wasnt registered for the group games and DG is a GK

Of course you can disagree but calling him a twat is unacceptable after the results we’ve had. Hey ho

I accept it was probably a bit much

We've earned the right to put whatever team we like out,fuck eufa and fuck Napoli do you think if they'd qualified and had a massive game at the weekend against their main rivals for the league at this moment in time they'd give a shit about anyone but themselves ? No me neither.

 

[Bluep*ss]

You must be in a lot of pain Karen - is that the excuse ?????......

Pep doesn't care about Napoli.

He cares about being the 5th team to get 18 points in the groups - something he's never done before.

He cares about keeping the winning streak alive.

He cares about setting a standard where every single game is a must-win.

He cares about carrying momentum into the derby, a game which decides whether the title race is back on, or won at a canter.

Where in the town are Blues getting together for this? is there an away friendly bar that will have us for a couple of days?

We fly out of Manchester tomorrow at 6.30, quick stop for a few beers in Warsaw, then onto the Ukraine.

Any of the bars near Feedom Square I believe.
Are you guys on the Lott Airlines 10.15am flight from Warsaw, if so see you in the airport bar ?

A reason not an excuse but just my opinion on this game,i don't give a stuff about it,we won the group so have earned the right to concentrate on the league

Hopefully not at the expense of injuries and fatigue.

I think there is also the point that Pep wants to keep the flow we are in. Disrupting everything by playing too many second choices could do more harm than the resting would take care of. Besides that I would want Foden and Diaz to play with a reasonably strong set of team mates, to increase the chance of success for the boys.
