Good point - that'll tell us what the situation with him is. If he's no where to been seen he'll be a make weight for Maddison/Tielmans and if he's in the starting XI we can assume he's here to compete for the starting spot. He'd be a good cup keeper for us.
For god knows what reason, we’ve become the team every pundit wants to see get beaten. ****ing mystifying.
Jealousy. Simple bitterness. They know where we are heading and pundits don't like it. Let's face it, Sky mostly use ex-players from the 'big 6' so it's a fairly biased view of anyone disrupting their special club. People loved Leicester doing it, because it was different, but also likely to be temporary. We might be up there for a long time once we break in.
We won't be finishing any lower than 6th until the Saudi's have gone now, which could be decades, and the little 6 and their ****er pundits are in the denial stage.
Though they'll never admit it Leicester winning the league was a disaster for SKY because of overseas sales and subscriptions and it's why they fall over themselves to heap praise on manure and scousers, "Bobby Best, Georgie Charlton, Ian Slow, Kenny Catleish" etc that's were their market is.
Genuinely I think they need to rethink the whole strategy. It needs to be redone to re-popularise football, not polarise the ****ing thing.
Can't see that happening with all the Yanks on board, how many bites are they going to get till they get their way?
Actually, can we even play Dubravka? He wasn't in the 25man squad registered for 1st half of season - maybe doesn't count for Cup games?
No need to register players for cups so he can play as long as he hasn't played in the comp for Man U - so he's eligible for the FA Cup but not the League Cup.
