Sheffield United (H) - Sat 30th Dec, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

I heard that Haaland, Stones and KDB are definItaly out and that a decision will be made about Grealish shortly. Was there any news about Doku ?

"A quality goal by a quality player." Wasn't that a famous line about him by a tv commentator (Brian Moore?) Also seem to recall a photo of Currie and another player sitting on the pitch and pretending to smooch together after he'd scored?

That's the pic with Alan Birchenhall another beautiful blonde, Leicester & Chelsea I think.

Surely Grealish will play if fit, its not as if he was in the house when it got burgled ffs

For me the issue is he's probably been given time off yesterday and perhaps today too to deal with the situation. If that's the case he won't have done his proper recovery and training sessions. These are vital.

Even if grealish declares himself available to play but say he has had 2 days at home, he'll have missed recovery and missed all the opponent specific prep that gets done in meetings and in training the day before. is pep going to throw him back in underprepared? If he's missed training, I don't think he plays, perhaps he makes the bench given we cannot currently fill it, if he's been training, he plays.

looks like Northern Rail pulling all the stops out again, many trains for the Preston line already cancelled. Most can get you to Mcr but then leave you stranded again

there's nobody else - he'll play trained or not

Since the start of last season Haaland and Alvarez have scored 99 goals between them.

Jack has trained so will likely play

 

[BringBackSwales]

I would imagine Jack plays while Andy Morrison house sits
