dread to think what our bench will look like tomorrow with all these injuries
it's called having more players in the WC than any other team.Nah. We will still put out a decent team. Wouldn’t be surprised if we lost, but they’re not on great form, so a shellacking is unlikely I think.
You do have to wonder about these injuries. Liverpool, for instance, only very, very rarely have an injury to a key player, and most of our domestic rivals are generally largely untroubled by injuries to key players. For us to have six out for a vital game suggests something is wrong somewhere.
Makes zero sense, but it'll happen.you all know he's going to pick Davies, don't you?

Assuming none of the injury doubts make it, I think it has to be something like:
GazzaIt's likely we'll be pushed back and enjoy less of the ball, so try to block up the centre of the park and have players who are able to counter.
Trippier Toby Sanchez Rose
Wanyama Dier
Lucas Lamela Son
Kane
sorry to pick on your comment but you made my earlier point for me - we already have a LOT of muscle injuries, Poch rotates full backs because of the wear and tear in the system. Danny was out for a year and had a v short pre-season. If he plays two games in 4 days and gets another long term injury we are in trouble.Makes zero sense, but it'll happen.
Seems like Poch is done with Llorente.Is it inconceivable that Poch could pick a similar line up to that he used to good effect away at the Bernabeu last season? I.e. Llorente up top with Kane and 5 at the back?
Fair, I just think we are fucked if we're throwing Davies out against Messi.sorry to pick on your comment but you made my earlier point for me - we already have a LOT of muscle injuries, Poch rotates full backs because of the wear and tear in the system.

Smart move from Poch.

I'm not really worried about Barca on the counter. They have the quality but they never seem to do it very often and their backline is going to be shaky without UmtitiThe problem is I suspect they would have been taking a game against Girona a lot less seriously than against us.
If we press too high we run the risk of getting absolutely mullered on the counter attack.
I have BT Sport but I can't see it on the channels. Is this a press red to watch different games?
