Surely our world.famous academy have someone for the bench ? How.many.times have we had 2 keepers on the bench ? What's the point ffs ?

Stop grumbling. If Pep hadn’t done enough to earn your trust I hope you weren’t around under Ball and Neal. Ffs

Love the starting eleven, but 8 subs including 2 keepers

[skillman]

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Akanji
Gvardiol

Bernie
Rodri

Doku
Haaland
Alvarez
Foden

Don't think Nunes nor Phillips will be trusted to start in midfield and it'll mean some sort of 4-2-4 formation.

Easy this management lark

 

[OntarioBlue]

If we need to go to the bench we could be in trouble.

 

[Jung the foreman]

We don't use subs anyway

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Strong team but not many attacking options from the bench with our injuries.

Exactly, loads of teams don’t name a full bench, and they’ve certainly all got development players who could sit there, enjoy the travel etc. But no clubs do it. So there must be reason why.

As I expected except for akanji in for ake. Can't complain with that.

That bench though. We have a normal number of injuries and we cannot even fill fhe bench despite having 2 keepers on it. Squad is just too thin

 

[wattle]

That bench is tragic

COME ON BLUEBOYS

Could be one of peps no subs days
