Not arsed about doing well in this this year. Got enough on our plates with the new CL format and potential Rodders issue.

Bench players and yout dem, for me.

Good time for another match, to get the season back on track :)

If Nunes doesn’t start tonight I think that tells us exactly what Pep thinks of him. I’d like to see Foden start just to try and play his way into form. Swap with McAtee at HT. wouldn’t risk stones.

I’d be absolutely shocked if McAtee doesn’t start, otherwise what’s the point of him even being here this season?

 

[Mighty men]

Everyone expecting a weakened team, which of course means pep goes full strength.

Not arsed about tonight I’ll be there but Rodders injury as ripped my stomach out ffs

Get a fucking grip, show some backbone and support the team.

McAtee will start as false 9, I’m certain.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Certain starters are Ortega, Stones, Rico, Kovacic, Nunes, Foden, Grealish and McAtee. Then I’d assume Wilson-Esbrand is a likely starter. Double pivot of Nunes and Kovacic, Foden infront of them, McAtee false 9. Grealish on the left. Rico right back, Wilson-Esbrand left back. Stones one of the CBs. Then it’s just filling in the gaps, which are one more CB and a right winger.
