And we managed to make United look like peak Barca. Just how?
Interesting, looking at the countries represented, I expect a majority of those players to reach the knock-out stages as well.I saw this on teams most impacted by WC. Not sure it’s 100% up to date but it’s indicative.
Liverpool do well as they only have 3 real starters out there. Arsenal too with only 9 players but that’s pretty much their starting XI.
Arsenal:
9 players: Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli (both Brazil), Takehiro Tomiyasu (Japan), Granit Xhaka (Switzerland), William Saliba (France), Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, Bukayo Saka (all England), Partey (Ghana)

12 players: Mateo Kovacic (Croatia), Thiago Silva (Brazil), Denis Zakaria (Switzerland), Christian Pulisic (USA), Hakim Ziyech (Morocco), Kai Havertz (Germany), Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher, Raheem Sterling (all England), Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly (both Senegal), Cesar Azpilicueta (Spain).
Liverpool:
7 players: Alisson, Fabinho (both Brazil), Ibrahima Konate (France), Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson (both England), Darwin Nunez (Uruguay), Virgil van Dijk (Netherlands).
Man City
16 players: Manuel Akanji (Switzerland), Ederson (Brazil), Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium), Ilkay Gundogan (Germany), John Stones, Kyle Walker, Kalvin Phillips, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish (all England), Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva (all Portugal), Nathan Ake (Netherlands), Aymeric Laporte and Rodri (both Spain), Julian Alvarez (Argentina).
Man Utd
14 players: Antony, Casemiro, Fred (all Brazil), Christian Eriksen (Denmark), Raphael Varane (France), Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford (all England), Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo (all Portugal), Tyrell Malacia (Netherlands), Lisandro Martinez (Argentina).
Newcastle United
5 players: Bruno Guimaraes (Brazil), Fabian Schar (Switzerland), Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson (all England).
Tottenham Hotspur
10 players: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Denmark), Ivan Perisic (Croatia), Richarlison (Brazil), Ben Davies (Wales), Hugo Lloris (France), Eric Dier, Harry Kane (both England), Rodrigo Bentancur (Uruguay), Cristian Romero (Argentina), Son Heung-min (South Korea)
They were talking about what players who arent going to the world cup are gonna do, how they'll be training and hows that gonna work for those come back early.I’m not even watching but I can just imagine the inane boring shite their waffling on about. Tyler makes it genuinely feel like he’s not interested in the actual match.
