Gundo again and James on the bench :(

Gundo cant make 90 mins never mind a game every 3 days. I dont think Peps managing him too well

Edit: Forgot he had Intl break off. Makes sense I suppose to use him tonight

Where’s the rest of the bench?!

Basically only 5 subs, very strange.

We need some players in January.

Come on you Dolly Blues.

Moaning that a German international is starting over a kid that isn't quite good enough yet.
Bodes well for the match thread.

Could it be a misprint, or have we had confirmation that the others are out?

Good to see Nathan back

Just thought the exact same thing..gives us more options defensively now - Ake can play centre half or fullback and so can Gvardiol...id be very interested to see Gvardiol at centre half stepping into midfieldi n future games playing the Johnny Stones role.

Pep said yesterday that everyone other than Oscar and Rodri was in training, KdB just not feeling his best.

Exactly. I always feel relaxed when he's in the XI.

He's just had 2 weeks off.
