Pep couldn’t wait to start his boy Ferran.

Weird post. He looks like one of our most promising attackers. Much rather see him play than FFS.

Always funny when people lose their heads over rotation, despite being fully aware that we play every 3/4 days for the entire season. Nobody is saying the game is easy but if you are a top team and don’t rotate at home to bottom of the league then it’s almost negligent. You have to. Not 11 changes, but at least some are simply essential. It’s a good team selection considering our circumstances and what we have looming in the horizon.

Especially with the games we’ve got coming up.

wtf?

And Laporte too. Defender

I know Pep's gonna field a weaker side. But fuck me that's a lot of changes for a league game

Thankfully, our lads have all had a warning from SheffU’s trip to the Swamp the other night.

If they’re not ready for a tough game today, they aren’t for this club!

We're going to see Laporte constantly hitting the diagonal ball to the right wing, stretching Sheffield United's defence

I’m not a fan of the rotation of CBs but ok, fair enough. It’s not like Laporte is a duffer.

Cancelo being rotated is the bigger disappointment for me. Against a side that will barely get out of their own half, I would much prefer having a guy playing RB who offers us something with the ball. I fear watching Walker and Zinchenko passing it to Dias and Laporte all game will be a tough watch.

Surprised at no Cancelo, we look so much better with him in the team. We know they are going to sit with everyone back so it seems a perfect game for him

I’m not entirely sure resting Stones will prove a good idea. Laporte can be very soft, as shown against Cheltenham. Sheffield United will come at us physically today, I just hope Laporte has had his Weetabix.

They may come at us physically but without the ball that doesn't count for much.
