blue moon Report post Posted August 5, 2019 Thanks Mike. Up and at ‘em, then. Good start to the season. A good opportunity for them to resume their habitual place in the league (sixth). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Tucker Report post Posted August 5, 2019 No probs, mate. I'm looking forward to this game. More to get a better idea where we really are right now, than anything else. I think that potentially, we're a top 4 side again this season, and I'm not sure (at this stage) that much of the doom and gloom is justified.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue moon Report post Posted August 5, 2019 Follow that, and feeling amazingly bullish despite - perhaps because of - the transfer ban. Being pushed back to the essentials with no superheroes or magic bullets might be the making of a young team. God bless you and give you speed, young Frank.

My Blood Is Blue Report post Posted August 6, 2019 Very excited for this one, will be watching from a campsite in France and hoping we can come away with at least a point. Really interested to see how Frank lines them up in this one, will Kante be fit enough to start? I expect we'll see: Kepa Azpi Luiz Christensen Emerson Jorginho Kovacic Pedro Barkley Pulisic Giroud Subs: Willy, Zouma, Alonso, Kante, Mount, Willian, Tammy I think a nervy 1-1, that both managers will take and be glad to get the game out of the way.

Whether it will be enough is open to debate however imagine how much more confident we would be if we had CHO, RLC and Rudiger available (as well as Kante and Willian fully fit).

That does highlight our issues if we go behind. The bench contains one attacker who has missed all pre season, and 2 who are hugely unproven in the PL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
