    I'm feeling pretty serene about it all (at the moment). Don't know if that's a good thing or a surrender.

    A Liverpool supporting chum started wobbling on about banana skins and the like but I quickly put a stop to such nonsense, clipped him round the ear and sent him on his way to three point lane.

    Even when we wear our yellow kits, there are no banana skins for other teams.

    Said earlier in the fred I think that's what'll happen. They can treat us like a lower league side in the cup and rest a few while still winning comfortably.

    CB at RB is too conventional. Let’s stick him on the wing.

    While they have a valuable lead against PSG, that tie is still very much in the balance. PSG outplayed them and should have won comfortably too, so that might be playing on their mind. Ultimately they do have the perfect fixture in between because they can rest most of their first team if they want to and should still win comfortably. But the PSG game should at least mean that even should they race into a 5-0 lead by half time. They'll just play keep ball and conserve energy in the second half.

    Luckily someone identified a good ‘direction of travel’ shortly after that

    I mean, it really doesn't matter much. But given Juric said he's going to change things for this game, presumably having had the time on the training ground since we last played, and with some players back form injury. I wonder if we might see something like this:

    Ramsdale
    KWP THB Bednarek Stephens Wellington
    Ugochukwu Downes
    Fernandes
    Onuachu Sulemana

    Like that team but I’d put Ramsdale up front though

    It looks like a back four. But you never know with Juric. He probably has Smallbone at CB or something.

    Thought Juric has said many, many times Fernandes & Albert were to similar to play in the same side!?

    Looks like a 4-3-2-1? Dibling and Fernandes off of Kamaldeen

    Or maybe Gronbaek and Dibling off of Kamaldeen and Fernandes in the middle with Lesley and Will

    Downes completely out of the squad again. Manning vs Salah will be fun. Whoever is playing in front of Manning will have to work hard to double up. Not sure why you'd play Smallbone ahead of Aribo or Downes given he doesn't offer anything much when we don't have the ball, and we're not likely to have much of the ball. No proper centre forward either, so no point in hoofing it forward today. Gronbaek has barely featured even off the bench, so obviously comes straight in to start in possibly the hardest game of the season. We've got lots more bodies in the middle, though I'm not really sure where they are all playing, but only one who has any proficiency on the defensive side of the game. But hey, who really cares. We will lose today regardless of what team we put out. COYR

    Looks like the sort of team Ralph Hassenhüttl or Danny Rohl might pick.
