Doesn't mean it's not silly. Ruben Dias playing against fodder sends his regards.

But how many times have suffered injuries by going strong when it’s perceived we don’t need to? I would imagine not many, Personally I would rest Phil and Bernie but that’s about it.

I get that but you’d still expect more than one youngster to play given the circumstances.
I can understand Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Jesus etc playing but why Bernardo, Sterling and Foden?

Sterling hasn't played the last two. Needs a run out.
 
I just want to say my cousin is there. Came all the way across the pond! Should be a good game and one that I have no crazy nerves about

Some players are better when continually playing, others need a rest. When we had a break a few weeks ago, we came back quite slowly.
 
Nice to see Egan-Riley get a start, huge moment for him!

We can moan all we like about not starting more youngsters, but in the end of the day its a CL knockout game and Pep was never gonna take any chances (how small they may be). Hopefully we will see more of them in the second half:)

Just hope we dont get an injury on Laporte/Stones, could really hurt our chances in the league considering our lack of cover at that position at the moment.

Raz hasn’t played in a few games. In addition, I’m guessing he has the others you mentioned for stability before throwing on the kids. Only Pep knows
