The Spaniard subsequently underwent scans on an Achilles injury and while the problem isn't severe, his chances of featuring in the showpiece are considered very much in the balance.Thiago will now undergo intensive treatment at the AXA Training Centre before a decision is made on whether he will be part of the playing squad that travels to France at the end of the week.

need to make his flmaing mind up. that reads like a richarilson dive tbh. hold his head while winking at the bench stuff. Its a hamstring or an achilles. or both LOL.

Either way if he's not fit he will get blown past and lose us two goals or something. you have to be absolutely on it here for 90mins v real. no passengers. (aka naby i'm looking at you)

Pessimistic about final with our recent injuries ,cannot see us winning in 90 mins and extra time is going to be too much for us.
Happy to be proved wrong though.<ok>

We'll be fine. we'll give everything.

after that its down to who gets the breaks of the ball and all that stuff.

for all we know right now benzema and the fast but useless lad would have a stinker or mo could score the very first chance he gets etc.

Who knows maybe even a Henderson cross might actually not go mile over the back stick!

stranger things like....

Konate won’t be playing bar an injury at some point.

Matip and vvd will start on Saturday.

Konate has played a lot of champions league. I think he will be preferred to deal with pace.

Benzema has no pace. Think Matip wasn’t playing CL to manage his workload and to let Konate get game time. Given have had a week off pretty confident will go strongest possible which means matip

But Vinicus does have a lot of pace, and Konate can help cover for Trent.

Hendos gonna need to be all over that if matip plays.

And I'd rather matip played over ibu tbh, just more experienced and his carrying of the ball out of defence can cause absolute havok for any team that trys to soak us up.
 
Firmino to play furthest forward in midfield three?
In theory should link play together nicely and good on the press. Was my MOTM against Southampton.
But has been mediocre to **** most of the season and obviously not his best position in midfield.
 
Vinicius reminds me of an early Sterling. So much pace and rawness but often has a poor end product and breaks down moves. Despite that, he can have moments of quality as we've seen in the CL this season already. Benzema is extremely talented but also slower than a carthorse. If Fab is back, I'd like to think we should be able to keep both of them quiet.

Am i the only one who thinks if expected Thiago doesn't make it that Milner may start instead of Keita .

Nope.

Keita got eaten alive last season by real.

He is one paced player and I would be very worried about him being a passenger

He's grand and all that and likes a dribble and reads an interception really well but I think quality tells and he could be roasted.

Thiago is out imo. I can't be doing with half fit passengers getting roasted as well.

Fabinho henderson and milner @Jimmy Squarefoot dream
