Always worry about boulders getting injured

Akanji and Dias on the bench, so we have good cover if it happens.

 

[Gabriel]

No natural width so we’ll be flooding the midfield and trying to suffocate them. Pretty please, just take your chances Erling.

@Eccles Blue will be delighted it’s written in the stars!

She'll have a few candles lit in her Stones shrine in her parlour.

No Cashemiro in the rags line up, good! That’s a few ankles that will be saved from his studs.

Amrabat might be an even bigger goon.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

They playing a back 5?

Don’t think so. Trying to recreate our box midfield.

 

[Father Paul]

Obligatory “if our lads can’t smash that pathetic excuse for a football team than we don’t deserve to win the cup” post.

I don't watch much of the rags games but I am struggling to figure out what sort of a line up this will be. Seems like a bit of a dogs dinner of a team selection? Maybe somebody can enlighten me?

Slightly odd to change 2 of the back 4 & both be central defenders. Pep must have good reason to do so though.

In Pep we trust…..

Ake and Akanji would be better to handle their quick counters, but hey ho.

 

[marco]

pass the fuckers into next week and there heads will drop, they can spend to first 45 minutes chasing thin air then a 2nd half of exhibition football for the watching world

We should be fine as I saw something quite genuine on TikTok about some bloke on VAR today who our owner has given backhanders to for refereeing over in the Middle East.

Good news if true, and the bloke sounded really genuine.

Given it a like, it’s such total crap!
