Slovan Bratislava (A) - Tues 1st Oct, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[foden47]

This will be an easy win.

Ortega
Walker
Stones
Gvardiol
Lewis
Nunes
Foden
McAtee
Savinho
Erling
Grealish

this team will be more than good enough, with Erling coming off after 60 minutes

 

[ninjamonkey]

Right up there with the American pre-season press conferences for weirdest most off topic press conference, completely useless questions all round.

I’m assuming I could beat these on my own so we need to be giving minutes to Nunes and Mcatee, plus whoever from the EDS.

None of the EDS have flown over. We have a 19 man squad, 16 outfield players.

No EDS travelled, we only took 19 and that includes 3 keepers.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance Carson might play? Haha

 

[Rammy Blue]

Pep won’t fuck about, it’ll be very near to full strength starting line up, hopefully hammer them and then take foot off gas and get 5 subs used.

Couldn't hear either on what I watched so gave up.

Waiting for the media to tell us, oh wait...... there's only united news today.

Some (presumably slovakian) women talking over it? I had that too, stopped after the first question, you missed absolutely nothing. Colossal waste of everybody's time and Pep seemed to show that was his feelings too.

Even when she stopped jibbering, I had my volume at 100, and still couldn't hear question or answer, but no doubt the thursday cup red team conferences will be covered in full, with full transcripts.

I've even tried the official site and still can't hear anything.

McAtee should be on there too. He travelled as part of the squad.

 

[DMA's]

Hard to get too excited by this game to be honest! We will obviously win and considering Celtic put 5 past them I’m not even sure they are league one standard. Seems a bit pointless tbh but UEFA want the extra games

 

[tregyblue61]

At least we won't be wearing that dinner ladies kit.

McAtee should be on there too. He travelled as part of the squad.

Not sure why he isn't, I copied and pasted from the official page, I didn't notrice he wasn't.

I must have missed the last one when copying - doh.

Is McAtee injured?

 

[domalino]

but UEFA want the extra games

The clubs (the biggest 15 of which we are one) want the extra games, UEFA just wants to stop the clubs splitting from them.

 

[domalino]

Not sure why he isn't, I copied and pasted from the official page, I didn't notrice he wasn't.

Is he still on the UEFA B List?

 

[cleavers]

Is he still on the UEFA B List?

No just (my) finger trouble by the looks of it.

Get the game won, then get the subs on. The correct approach imo.
