We obviously needed Kane in the first leg but people were saying the same thing before a ball was kicked..why has he been picked...you saw why. probably will need him tomorrow too
The tie isn’t over yet so I can see why Kane is needed CL football is probably going to be easier to get through Europa than the league. Winning the Europa would fulfill all aims of the club (cl football for the financial side and tangible success for the fans and players)
Kane, Bale, Sissoko, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Tanganga, Lloris, Reguilon, Scarlett, Lavinier, Doherty, Lo Celso(?), Lamela, Moura, Sanchez, Aurier, Vinicius, Alderweireld. I assume they missed people out or we've taken a very strange squad. Lavinier didn't start for the U23s the other day against Derby. Nice to see him involved in the squad, at least.
If we are for playing our strongest team in the EL WTF is Dier and the winks / Sissoko pairing all about???? Surely we should be playing our strongest line up tonight and resting them all for the villa game?
I'm hoping that we can get this one out of the way with limited fuss, but that lineup doesn't convince me that we will. Hopefully it'll have enough to get us over the line and into the next round. Rather pedestrian, though. Might be a nice idea to give some time to Bergwijn, Lo Celso and Vinicius, if possible. We need all of the attacking options we can get at the moment.
Ristovski with some carpet burn from the fake grass behind the goal. The pitch doesn't extend too far, does it?
