Team please. Don't do Twitter.

Who’s Gunter ?

Young keeper

 

[glacierSpurs]

How bad must rodon be to not make this bench? Most games I've seen he looked decent. It's very strange

Has he even played in our pre season? I totally have no memory of him playing at all.

It's Deadly Deadwood Day! Perfect shop window for Dier, Sanchez, Perisic, Davies etc. They just need to keep a clean sheet and bag loads of spectacular goals.

hasn't played, but was on the bench vs Shahktar iirc

It makes my blood boil! (Rodon is an anagram of donor...I'll get my coat...)

 

[felmani26]

If that defence keeps a clean sheet it'll be a miracle!

 

[JKendall13]

Well we'll definitely get a better sense of what we've got in Vicario tonight.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Lewandowski is going to have a field day

 

[PhantoM47]

Didn't know Romeu went back to Barca. Remember when he first went to Saints it seemed a real coup as he was a La Masia graduate wasn't he? Did they buy him back or was he a free?

 

[tommo84]

Biggest takeaway from tonight is confirmation that - barring injury tonight - Richarlison and Bissouma are fit to face Brentford.

Should be going into Sunday with a near fully fit squad (Bentancur aside).

 

[Tucker]

This could be rough tonight.

 

[rabbikeane]

Our bench is a bit lacking, but line up is strong.
Barca isn't a team that will expose Porro and Reguilon on set pieces.
Bissouma, Lo Celso, Solomon, Richarlison and Perisic are our best players this summer.
Ok that centre back pairing ...

 

[Yid-ol]

I worry about the back line in that line up, rest of the squad I can live with, considering that's really a back up squad there!

Trouble ahead. Let’s face the music….

 

[PCozzie]

On the face of it, this is our second team against Barca's first team. I'm less interested in the result than how we go about trying to play against them. Are we going to press and try to dominate possession, or will we see something different? I think it'll be the same as what we've seen in pre-season. Ange doesn't seem like a bloke who backs down.

yeah they signed him back, he's looked good in pre season too

 

[spursville]

I sort of hope the back line gets completely exposed so that everyone in the club and the players' agents realise that this deadwood should be metaphorically sent to train with reserves and understand they won't get a look in this season. Why are they all still here?

 

[arunspurs]

I would like to see if we can actually keep possession against this Barca team. Anything > 40% is a good progression with this XI

 

[degoose]

Pretty much full strength. This could get ugly

Who is Eric
