I wonder how the Special One will be regarding this workout on Thursday! I have my doubts about the word friendly, and imagine Jose will be going to war!
Ronaldo will be fired up but that's it. I think we'll win if everybody does their job properly. Real looked far from impressive against Everton.
I think Jose is too professional to do anything other than use the game to give the players that need it more game time. I'd think, Torres,Mata,Azpi,Mikel,KDB,Shurley,Luiz,Oscar are all likely to start bar injury.
This game will probably be our biggest indication of where Jose sees the first 11 now the Spanish lads have had some minutes. He'll want to win this badly as an F-U to Madrid - make no mistake.
Interesting this, though I fancy Jose to be professional and use the game as intended. On the other hand he might declare war !!
