I believe he had signs of a cold the other night, so was dropped as a precaution The fact that he had the best view of the match while sitting in the dressing room is, of course, immaterial...
We were appalling against Leeds last season... was one of many very low points... Not expecting anything better today tbh...you lot have kicked my usual happy clappy optimistic outlook to pieces
Obviously missing Skipp and Bentancur but yeah no options to change the game in midfield if needed. Saying all that, I’d rather see the kids given a chance ahead of the players that left in January.
Saving grace...I'm just on my way to Dublin en route to Barcelona. 3.5 HR drive so no chance to watch the game! Buckle up lads, it's likely to be a bumpy ride!
I rate Devine and White, though it's probably too early for the former. Not ideal circumstances to be blooding either of them, though. I suspect that Conte will sub on Bergwijn, a fullback and Sanchez.
3½ hour drive to Dublin? Are you in the ****ing sea or something? Killarney, perhaps? Have fun in Barca.
1. 3.5 hr drive from Dublin to Barcelona ?? 2. Steer clear of MWC. Putin has his polonium posse on the prowl.
