Shakhtar (A) Pre Match Thread

[Scouse Blue]

Lot's of interesting views on our line up as usual.

Understandable concern re Ferna, but for me even more so me given that Yaya is in there. Laboured at best these days, and sadly not up to this level of game anymore.

They always include Pep in there right in the corner, as if it could have been someone else this match. And the formatting for his icon is different to everyone else's too.

It just bugs me lol

Pep walks out with "MANAGER" on the back of his top

Pep freezing him out -1 !!

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Well he might be Pep and for many he might be beyond reproach, but for me that is an idiotic line-up. An utterly needless and stupid gamble to risk Fernandinho and Sane in a dead rubber in the freezing cold, with the rags up on Sunday

What a truly apt name, it can't be a coincidence?!

The cold is the tricky bit re injuries.

The back line is with respect about as inexperienced as we could muster.

Clearly wants Walker and Oti available for the match and hoping that Delph recovers from his sickness.

Well it is far from the best back line but with Fernandinho, Danilo and Mangala (depending on how they set up) it ought to be adequately experienced.

Weird line up. Good to see tosin and foden getting a start. Not so good to see dinho playing.

It doesn't get cold in Manchester does it.

Ferna is going to be fucked by Christmas

Father Christmas?

Bloody hell, MORE inappropriate sexual conduct? It's bad enough they canceled "House of Cards" and Louis CK's movie - will they have to cancel Christmas as well now?
