Given it is a publicity stunt, wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Sarri was pressured/forced by the club to play their strongest team. 

If not, he's much to blame. 

Honestly had it with this season. The fact that no one at the board level will lose their job, just shows how much RA doesn't give a fuck.

azpi wont play in dc and james will get less playing time than cho this season.

25 man roster now that RLC may be gone for all of next year

GK Kepa

GK Willie

GK  Jamal Blackman

CB Rudiger (injured until maybe second month of the season or so))

CB  Azpi (needs to go more at CB, to give Reece a chance and he just is no longer up to it as a RB, he offers shit going forward)

CB Luiz

CB AC

CB Zouma

LB Emerson

LB Alonso (dog help us, I woul LOVE to see this absolute wuthess cunt sold, and put in Jay Dasilva as b/u, but that is not going to happen))

RB  Reece James

RB Zappacosta (the last game proved he can play at a high level when given a fair shot, he was a beast)

DH DMF Jorginho

DH DMF  Mario Pašalić  (loan out Ampadu, the lad needs GAME TIME)

CMF Kante

CMF Bakayoko

AMF Barkley

AMF Mount

LW Willian

LW CHO (when he returns) maybe recall (lawwd, FML) Moses until CHO is recovered, and play Pedro as b/u LW

RW Pulisic

RW Pedro

CF Morata

CF Bats

CF Tammy

 

fuck Drinkwater, Higs, Giroud (we are stuck with Alonso and Willian, Pedro and Luiz due to bans)

I cannot see a situation where Morata comes back. He doesn't want to be in England and has completely failed to adapt. Mentally and emotionally he just cannot cope with playing here and if we tried getting him back, I'd be amazed if we could get 20% potential out of him, it's pointless.

Ironically with Griezmann leaving, now is the perfect time to sell him permanently to Atletico as I would expect they'll be looking to buy him now. Hopefully recoup most of our original outlay on him and be rid.

Ban or no ban, Morata, Bakayoko, Zappacosta, Drinkwater, and Willian need to fuck off.

I did not know Griezmann was leaving

well, then keep Giroud

NO WAY we can pay fucking £29m for fucking one year loan plus salary for Higs

I will edit my post of the 25 man roster

I agree BUT with CHO out

and if we tossed Willian, that leaves us TWO wingers, Puli and Pedro

no can do

Zappacosta as Reece James b/u (Azpi needs to go FT CB) is not a nightmare, he is not terrible at all, he plays well when given a shot

Worse possible news -
 

Confirmed? Confirmed by who? Haven’t seen any official confirmation yet.

The club are only heading back to the UK today and even if they have arrived back, it will still take time for the tests, results etc.

On where? Have seen nothing offical being said.

I'm saying the player could have informed people close to the team and it has trickled down.

The pictures speak for themselves (almost identical to CHO).

I’m not saying he didn’t suffer an Achilles injury. It might very well be, looking at the pictures but the point is, no official word has been said on it yet. All I’ve seen is the media have been quick to say it’s an Achilles injury and judge how long it will take to recover, trying to be the first to get the scoop etc. If Ruben had said it to people closer to the team and it trickled down, those proper journalists would have picked it up and reported it but nothing so far. That Simon isn’t even an official reporter and is just a blogger of sorts who gather his stories from other media. I’m sure the club would release a statement on Ruben’s injury, like they did with CHO.

I only saw a quote that Alonso said after the match that RLC could have suffered an Achilles injury.

RA is done for imo. He had his time with us and its finito. I miss the old RA, I know he's been through some shit here and there, but at the same time his passion for the Club has gone way down imo. He cant let the Club go on this way, either return to your ambitious self or just sell and keep your stature at the Club intact.
