    Fingers crossed Egypt beat Morocco tomorrow night, then he would be available for Tuesday.

    Sat in the Chapel this afternoon, different atmosphere to what I'm used to, especially compared to Liverpool away!

    Gardos and Isgrove start. Long captain. Young, young side.

    Can our subs play theirs, then we don't use up too many players.

    Changes were needed, but hmmm, I'm not confident.

    I can hear the commentator now: "The defender's Holding, the midfielder's Reed..."

    Sims and Isgrove tracking their FBs will be the key I feel. As well as Reed not letting anyone run off him or straight up power past him. We limit that and the games right in the balance, i.e. primed for a screamer from Cuco.

    Totally fine with that team. Liverpool and Swansea either side were/are the more important games. Arsenal were always going to put out a weakened team, so in some ways it's potentially a missed opportunity to knock them out similar to the League Cup before Xmas, but I'm really not bothered.

    Have we not got another kid other than Isgrove though? He's surely had enough chances now. In no time at all, Sims has already soared past him in the pecking order.

    Hope Gardos has a good game. We may well need him over the coming weeks.

    Works with most of the players on the pitch really.

    It understand but it is a shame to almost throw a game and I would like to have seen Tadic get some more minutes.
