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

Ffs and gundy are huge misses

 

[lancs blue]

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 ?

If Pep doesn't think they're ready to be used from the bench why bother naming them just to fill the numbers?

 

[Iassel]

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

I mean it’s a fair point, assuming nobody pulled out at lunchtime today it is a bit disappointing they didn’t bother to bring down a kid to experience a match day

 

[Stoned Rose]

Doku starting is interesting.

Bench lacks impact if we’re struggling.

Hmmmm.

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

Not really, Bernardo is one of the best players in the league in at least 4 positions.

Rico, Nunes & Phillips can all cover him in midfield and he can play anywhere else.

Attacking line up. could be a thriller this.

Same could be said naming Carson on the bench , be good to see Nunes getting some.minutes

Lots of attackers there, was just getting used to Kovačić and Rodri deeper and today we’ll have an extra man in and around the box.

Good team that, should be a cracking game this!

But they have been replaced by 3 players…

Yeah I never get the 2 keepers thing either.
