All the planned starters for Brentford should not be on this flight! Around 6 hours each way. Casadei couldn't pick a worse time to get a red. Regardless don't bring any of Enzo, Caicedo and Lavia. Idk play Veiga and KDH or someone from academy. We will look like shit but who cares. With Neto suspended for next PL game he should start here with Felix, Mudryk and Nkunku. We have big squad.

No need to risk too many players. We can lose this one. Arguments can be had to have more youth players in the side if needed.

No need to risk many players but I still think we should put 11? 🤔

Such a shame about Acheampong's contract situation, would have been good to see him get a run of games at RB. 

Would be awesome to see young Kiano Dyer get some minutes in midfield. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

Can Acheampong honestly not play this one? Kind of desperate here.

This very moment Google says it's -27 there. And feels like -35.

Enzo Maresca on Acheampong: "He's in the squad and is probably going to play from the start. With Josh, it's quite clear, we all love Josh, the club love Josh and I love Josh. We are trying to find an agreement with the player. It's close, we are almost there."✅️

Because its a 7000 mile round trip    -  the Brentford game has been put back to a 7pm Kick off on Sunday

Playing football at -21 degrees, damn.. Requires some roughness.

I was in Kazakhstan once at Christmas time, it was -25, I bought and XXXL winter jacket to wear outside the normal winter jacket. Can't imagine playing or standing on the goal for 90 mins.

They actually have very good stadium with rooftop in Astana but it's renovated right now so we play in Almaty 1200km further 🙄

I remember a Greek match at -8 but -25 ? Is it allowed ?
What was the temperature when we went to Tromso ? 2001 I think it was.
