What excuse does he have now? .... 'Oh my players injured' ... 'Oh my players are tired' .... 'Oh the games schedule doesnt allow me to train the players' ..... 'Oh they dont know my style and tactics' .... Just a 'JJ' Joke Jose

Seems by the end it was mostly youth players, where Norwich scored 2 late goals. Good to get some fitness in before friday

We have 22 senior squad players. Find it out that we are wasting minutes on youth that wont play in the league but there's obvioisly a reason

I hope this is sarcastic. It's a preseason run-out to get minutes into the whole squad and try a few things out in an environment where it's not going to cost us actual league points. One week to go, let's wait till next week Friday night to see how our first 11 can really perform

Gives Jose a better look at some of the youngsters, and who could make the step up next?

Also gives him a chance to look at which Norwich players he might want to poach next season when they're relegated!

We have 9 massive PL games. Those youngsters have pre season for that

I hope we can find out more about these games, but I wouldn't be surprised if we played 2 games (team wise) in those 4 quarters.

So 22 senior players would need a few youngsters to fill the rest of the squad.

Very nervous about this game, Mourinho needs to get his stuff in gear now but will he? I hope so.

No idea what team to pick either aside from I’d have Son, Kane and Bergwijn up top.

A midfield three I’d include Winks (yes I know he has a lot of doubters on here but he’s looked good in proper three man midfielders for England so interested to see it) with a proper holder in Dier or Skipp and Lo Celso. Ndombele on bench and eased in, although if he is actually fit and showing signs of being a bit more up for it he would also be a very good option in place of Winks (Lo Celso is a must in the three for me).

ObviouslyI we have Sissoko as well so good to have options or if Mourinho wants a bit more defence he could play wide right in place of Bergwijn although I’d prefer quality attacking wingers either side of Kane, especially if we have a three man midfield behind them.

Aside from Davies at left back haven’t a clue who to play in defence as most have been dodgy all season although Tanganga should be in there really, even if pushed out to right back to utilise his pace (as was left back a few times before football stopped on his wrong side and did okay there).

With Dele out,

Lloris
Aurier Tanganga Toby Davies
Lo Celso Winks
Bergwijn Lamela Son
Kane
I wanted to put Ndombele in, but I just have no idea on his fitness.
