Yeah but how could we rest him? Bakayoko is still not 100%, Drinkwater has calf problems. None of them can play 90 minutes. Hopefully we score 2-3 goals early and Kante, Alonso and Azpi can rest 20-30 minutes.
Probably. That's the big boy's league, who doesn't like that?
I can't wait to see our boys against Simeone's Atleti with Griezmann, Koke and Saúl Níguez. We are going to play against fucking Arsenal like the 4th-5th time in 2017 this weekend, I am more excited about Roma and Atleti games.
Hahaha. no.
This is Champions League, not Carabao Cup. We just can't let 2 or 3 points go prior to the Atleti and Roma matches. It's gonna be our strongest team.
So do you think police can't stop terrorism because they are dealing with racist chants? Come on..
What would you say if you'd suffer a hit and run, report it and Police would say "sorry, we are trying to catch terrorist so we are no interested in your problem".
Police have to handle smaller problems too, not only seriall killers and terrorists.
This is not american football with squads of fifthysomething.
If Suarez and Alcacer are injured Barca have no strikers. Each Bayern and Real only have one real striker(Lewa and Benzema). Who do City play with when Agüero and Gabi Jesus are both injured? You cant count with that.
That's exactly what we need. Players who play quite good in Carling Cup, FA-cup and easier CL-matches so Alonso or Morata can rest. We can't sign world class players on the bench. Obviously we don't spend as much money as City or MU anymore, we have to make it clever.
Let me count:
Morata, Batshuayi and Rémy, that's 3, not 2.
Hazard, Pedro, Willian and Musonda. 4, not 3.
Alonso, Moses, Azpilicueta and Kenedy. 4.
It's true that we have 3 midfielders but I am sure we are getting one today, and also we have Luiz.
Alexis would totally solve our central midfielder problems..
Signing Drinkwater and approaching or not approaching Alexis has nothing to do with each other. Hazard-Morata-Sanchez would be insane though.
Wondering how our lineup's gonna look like.
I think Bakayoko still needs some extra assistance so we'll stick with the 3-5-1-1. Either Luiz plays on the midfield and we start with the same back three(Rüdi-Christ-Azpi) or Fábregas starts between Bakayoko and Kanté, so Luiz will be the swiper again and Rüdiger and Azpi(or Christensen) will be the CB-s.
Noone at the club wants him to rot in the reserves but they want a realistic price for Costa. Of course we don't want to be the suckers who buy Morata for 70 million and let Costa go for 15. Play hard balls on this.
He is pretty much like I thought he's gonna be:
- won more aerials yesterday than Matic in a whole season
- he is a beast, strong as hell and not scared to bump into opponents unlike Matic
- got some sweet attacking skills.
It was a great frist game of him considering that he was injured for 3-4 months and only has been training with the team for a week or so. Great job, can't wait to see him at his best condition.
