Given the absentees, that's a bloody decent lineup. It'd be great to see Palmer and/or McAtee come on late in the game if we're coasting.

Surprised at Stones ommission , and without Foden & Grealish our bench hasnt got a game changer , was worried with Pep's selection against PSG but he appears to know what he is doing , probably not risking Foden & Grealish with a view to the Villa game in a few days

Phil and jack were never in the picture , they were still doing individual training on friday

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Why 2 keepers on the bench

 

[Xhavenjoe]

That pairing of Masuaku and Rice is making me hungry.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Weakest bench we’ve had for a while.

Better to make sure they are fully fit to come back.

Phil, Jack and Kev having a breather might help us smash Villa when they return.

Pep channeling Stuart Pearce tactics.

Pep never learns .

One at each end, for balance

and still not filling the quota as well.

It is, but given his performances so far, I am fully confident Palmer is capable of changing a game if we need it.

I think he's taking the piss out of the match day thread.

coz if we need a goal then zack can go between the sticks and eddie as a striker. If zack gets injured then carson can fill in.

 

[hilts]

Apart from stones that’s the best line up considering fodens absence

For the same reason as for the last five matches. They have no senior players to put on.

 

[bluealf]

Christ that bench , we are light

COME ON BLUEBOYS

got 5 full internationals on it lol

Most of that bench would sleepwalk into the vast majority of PL sides.
