Shakhtar (A) Pre Match Thread

And, like the first team, the EDS have already topped their group with a game to spare. No reason why U16/18s can't be given a game there with U18/21s stepping up to the first team. Both matches are dead rubbers.

Fine, but that is your opinion. People have been discussing what the team is likely to be. Pep hasn't gone with your idea.

I know that. I was disagreeing with your assertion that the only youth players that could possibly play were Adarabioyo, Foden and Diaz. He has (pretty much) the whole academy to pick from if he wants.

I didn't assert that Tosin, Foden and Diaz were the only young players who could have been selected. I said that they were the only young players in the squad named by Pep from which he will select his team for tomorrow.

Zinchenko was average against Wolves but I would give him another start at LB tomorrow and rest Delph.

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

no no no we only have him in that position,he must be wrapped in cotton wool whenever possible

Fabs & Eddy, as well. This is the one match of the season, carabao cup apart, that Pep has my express permission to start Bravo :-)

The poll is interesting,are people not too bothered about the result?

Take out the likes of Spanish Dave and Kev and we usually labour.
Shakhtar looked good in the first game.
It’s a long distance away game, days before a derby.
Nothing rides on the result.

Those are my reasons, Karen.

I'm no longer sure who is being serious or not with Zinchenko - his full name is now Ineligible Zinchenko.

Pretty useful going forward too. Hope he gets a start.

Poor guy. Thats a pretty shit first name. Reckon he will be in for Delph tomorrow.

This Zinchenko will be getting a complex. Everyone says he is going to play but at the last minute he finds out he isn't.
