What has Pep said?

What has Pep said?

That given the number of games they potentially face this season, something has to give and that something is the league cup. Paraphrased obviously.

I think they'll have a mix of players against us. They face Sparta Prague Wed (h), So'ton Sat (h), us, Bournemouth Sat (a) so we don't play them in the midst of a nasty run unfortunately. They won't be full strength but it won't be fringe & kids.

 

[Chedozie]

Yeah, Jurassic park.

Pep will put out a reserve team and we’ll smash them.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

Pep will put out a reserve team and we’ll be smashed by them.

more likely to be this

“In the next round, I'm announcing now, I will play the players who have played the least minutes or the second team — we are not going to waste energy on this competition, for sure.”

I like that Pep has said this as it either means a weakened team or that he has to backtrack on his words.

Be liking it less if he sticks to his words and we end up losing at home to a team of players where the lowest shirt number is 74.

Doesn't matter who pep plays. If we play Forster we'll lose
