Konate pretty much misses the next two matches anyway and his pending punishments are gone.
We can play Jones in place of Szobo against Leicester.
Not too worried about Nunez getting another card.
Gakpo , yes. If he can be left out of this match , he should. We’ve got Jota there who can play the bulk of the minutes.
Nothing is worse than them(Gakpo ,Grav, Dom) getting ruled out of a game because the referees tend to make it a point to punish us for soft AF tackles.
Exactly my point. We get punished by the referees
That was after being jetlagged after winning the club world cup to boot.
Yeah.
4 days-3 days - 7 days is the pattern and Man Utd is number 19 when they are all rescinded I guess.
I don’t really understand the strategy of sitting someone out a game in order to prevent them from having to sit out a game… maybe the week before a big rivalry game but otherwise what’s the point ?
Thing it’s solely for us fans to think about.
I personally wouldn’t but we probably need a bit rotation between the two games.
Then again it’s not bad Xmas period it’s January that is currently crowded then again plenty of games we can rotate in that lot.
Yeah, there are some good opportunities for rest/rotation coming up. The remaining CL matches should see us rotate a fair bit, as well as the FA cup. Would love to keep getting plum draws there like United used to for years there.
I assume Slot will want to get down Wetherspoons early tomorrow
Burger, chips and a pint of Carling (piss) on discount?
Ahem.
Wetherspoons’ finest.
This is the reason why Arne loves his early press conferences.
Parts of it are good, I’m a big fan of beans!
But I never understood why they have to “kill” the tomato like that? Just put it on the plate as it is. Makes no sense, you kill the bit of taste it has and freshness.
Remind me to never stand behind you in a queue.
Best away performance I’ve ever seen from us.
That Leicester team wasn’t bad as well.
Yes. And it was a great game - another (perhaps less dominant) one in a similar vein was the 5-1 vs Newcastle that had us top on Boxing day under Rafa - we should have won the title that season.
Don’t have them often, but a full English breakfast needs a fried tomato.
Bit of brown sauce and you’re good to go.
Truer words ne’er spoke.
Yeah, but that’s the thing, who came up with the idea that the tomato needs to be fried and why? Especially the small cherry ones.
Anyway, to stay on topic… smash them, they’re shite.
It’s called an English Breakfast as a warning.
