What’s the point of trying to qualify for CL every season in order to rub shoulders with the big clubs and then rest players when we eventually do play against the big clubs.

I would play our strongest available team against RM, especially now that they have a few players missing.

We are unlikely to win the league this season (although our min target should be top four), so it won’t really matter if we don’t get the three points this Sunday. Anyway, RM are a better outfit than Liverpool and we’d probably have one or two players back by Sunday.

Play our strongest team regardless of liverpool. Liverpool will have to field a strong side as they need the win.

Is that the same as saying all travelling players are available though?

Don't know. They will be better going out there and training as a unit, than staying at home and training with the youth teams. Hope Dembele is fit enough to start though gives much better options if he is.

Should? Not at all.
COULD? Absolutely.
But you can't gamble on it. You can't say, bah, matches vs. Madrid should be we written off anyway because we are alwys likely to lose and maybe we can even advance anyway.
No, you gather your 11 best match fit players and you send them out there facing one of the best football teams in all history.
Then you deal with whatever comes your way as a result.

Of course our players will go out and give it their best I wouldn't expect anything less than that, but I also am realistic enough not to expect us to beat the best team in world.

They arent going to mention him as he was not selected in the CL squad for the group stages since he is not expected to be back available until the middle of next month at which point, he'd have missed like 4 Or 5 matches anyway.

WiganSpur · Oct 16, 2017

Rose in the squad, Davies isn't.

He might have a gut on him at the moment but i'd probably still rather Rose play than anyone else at LB if Davies is out.

Expect a tactical surprise, even a ‘possible debut in CL’. Very strong possibility. Not talking about Winks neither.

Ooh shit! I'll not sleep tonight now.

Nice words from Toby:

We have a good team and we can beat them. It’s not arrogance, it’s just confidence in our own game. We know they are a very good side but we have to try to play our game there. Then we have most chance to get a good result.

fluffybunnyuk · Oct 16, 2017

I dont mind who we choose for the team so long as someone strong goes and does a Troy Deeney on Ronaldo early on. If Spurs can wipe that smug smile off his face it'd make my xmas. To dare is to do. I'd rather the ship sank trying vs Real Madrid rather than try to be Man U vs Liverpool. COYS

Christ, if that was the line up I'd feel confident of giving them a proper game.

Perhaps Rose is more up to speed than we think.

Reckon Dembele will definitely start now.

WiganSpur · Oct 16, 2017

Poch said Rose not fit enough to start.

Can't see us winning without a recognised left back.

KWP at left back then. Makes sense.

Is that a tactical surprise, though? Going 442 would be a tactical surprise.

Video of Poch on the plane basically saying Rose will be on the bench.
