    He misses the next three months due to being rushed back from injury?

    I mean it has to happen to somebody else, right?

    This team reminds me of an episode of Colditz , the one where a POW acts as if he is mad and is so convincing he goes mad
    Hopefully Pep sees this and falls into the trap, if we can hold out for 65 mins then bring on the cavalry we might have a chance

    I agree Kule and Son needs resting but Grey needs a blooming rest too. I would have put Davies in defence for his experience and nous whilst allowing Grey to rest.

    Not looking forward to Doku vs Porro.

    Weird starting line up. Seems a bit experimental.

    Agree. Looks to me that some are being rested for the Europa League despite the fact that we have no game at the weekend.

    Can’t be letting him tap it in like that. Poor defending that.

    That looked really poor defending but the deflection put it on a plate. And it was good feet by Haaland to be fair to finish in the corner

    As much as I want us to win I’m happy to see us blood some youngsters, so losing won’t ruin my evening. I would rather not finish in the conference league places and maybe a season out of Europe may not be a bad thing.

    We ain't looking dangerous tbh but we are really snapping into tackles and winning most of the 50/50 tackles.

    We don’t seem to have any spare players when we break, so we constantly have to pass sideways or backwards which completely kills the momentum and allows them to get back in position

    Gray and Bergvall do look to have so much potential. This is the best thing to come of this season by far
