Shakhtar (A) Pre Match Thread

Really excited to see Foden get a start, hope Diaz gets on. I realise they are filling in but great to see one of our own in the starting line up of a champions league game and a blue at that!

It's just Derby week !!

Is this Fernandinhos first return to Shaktar since signing for us. Maybe a bit of sentiment in that selection and giving him the armband.

Yep I would take your opinion over Pep’s all day fucking long

He has a point mate,the game on Sunday is huge we win it and it could be goodnight for them,lose and the momentum and belief they get could be a factor the reverse for us,this unbeaten run is fantastic but theirs bigger prizes at stake,and throw in injuries which can happen anytime but why run the risk with three key players..

Bit surprised at Fernandinho, but other than that about what i thought.

And if you are going to give young players a go, better to give them a chance as part of a decent team, otherwise it can just backfire.

Is Zinchenko on the bench?

I can’t believe he isn’t starting.

I like it. He would have had the medical staff look at the players and assess which ones are in good condition.

Also, he's not hanging the young lads out to dry, which is important because if they perform tonight, then we may have 2 or 3 'new players' that can help us throughout the season.

Ederson is a keeper, he should be fine.
Fernandinho was rested at the weekend (& might only play 45 mins to ease Duhaney in at half time).
Sane, young lad who had a rest against Southampton through illness, this might just be getting him back up to speed. (45mins and then someone else comes on).
Jesus or Aguero, one of them was always going to start.
