    Definitely. A.Madrid do it with top quality players, they're better at it and it's frustrating because they don't need to do it

    Surprised to see Isak starting. Glad Robertson gets a game, especially as this will be a battle and he could have been playing on the other team in this match if he didn't decide to stick it out.

    Also Macca needed a rest and Szoboszlai deserves a go in a preferred midfield spot.

    blimey would have sworn it was years later .

    I treat this place like i'm chatting in a pub so 99% of the time there is no fact checking just relying on my memory which considering how unreliable it is may be a mistake <laugh>

    Didn’t see Isak starting but I guess it’s also maybe saving Ekitike for weekend and Isak will get 60 mins today and 30 mins v Everton.

    Good to see Mac get a rest and Robbo get a start. Places up for grabs for weekend game.

    worryingly Macca seems to need a rest a lot.

    He has to start somewhere and there's less jeopardy tonight than at the weekend

    I'd be shocked if isak gets.more than 45mins.

    He's there.maybe to get a controlled 45 as another 10mins could be added on for any reason second half.

    I dont know.

    In any event it'll be a big glamour gsme.

    Very tough game for Isak to debut in tbh, and totally agree he'll be hooked at HT

    Already the calls of - poor Ekitike, that’s it now, dropped. Shouldn’t have signed and wouldn’t have if he knew Isak was joining.

    Bit premature, can easily see Ekitike playing wider in a narrow LW position when testing gakpo and allowing Wirtz to drift in that wider position in that case.

    Assuming no injuries, I’d bet Ekitike plays in at least 30 prem games and starts at least 20 of those

    Slot said he’ll do 45 or 60 at a push so we’ll see. They know what they’re doing when it comes to fitness and sports science. Best in the business
