I don't think it's even possible to overstate the changes tbh. McGinn, Kamara and Watkins would be unavailable anyway? Torres for Lenglet and Bailey for Zaniolo is a downgrade sure but good grief you are being massively hyperbolic here.

NorthEastVillan Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Ah just tell them to go out and have fun. Couple of thunderbastards from Duran and Zaniolo will do nicely. Shoot on sight policy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltesemike Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Wow. The line up is a crazy one. This will be a fun or horror, but I still have a good feeling and looking forward to it. Why is Torres on the bench though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobalVillan Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Just now, DCJonah said: Playing first team football against top opposition is of course good for development. And confidence? You've got Emery putting them in the starting line up. You don't think that builds confidence? Not if they get trounced. No. This is one hell of a bold (crazy) move.

Django_Zooms Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Either, we are writing off this match or Unai has the best tactical master plan ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 My concern is Youri missing from the centre with Dougie and Pau missing from the back. Dougie could get overrun in the centre. Other than that I think all will come on including Leon with fresh legs second half when City like to turn the up the tempo on teams. I think Pep leaving KDB, Haaland etc indicates they'll go for broke 2nd half if they ain't already ahead. It's bold but if City start slow and we can stay in it.... who knows. It's a more physical set up from us that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Our strongest 11 could go to City and lose 95 times out of 11. We put a near full rotation. "We're not binning it off." It's fine. You can say it. No body will think less of you. And it's the right call absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 3 VT Supporter Share Posted April 3 Could be kinda fun maybe? Be interesting to see how some of these players perform. Can understand the logic in giving players a rest and not risking more injuries in a game we're unlikely to win anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for some of the fans we have who seem to think it is still 1981 and there is a first eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Oh my. Let's hope there are some Unai tactical shenanigans on the way, cos that is not terribly inspiring. Anyway - cmon lads - make us eat our words Might ditch the match thread I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
