Great news if indicating he's going to be fit/starting.

Fully confident going into tonight's game now.

i dont think it means anything, i would imagine if he trained sat and Sunday his fit enough to play.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Would be massive if he is fit I think we will be strong enough to win, I don't think against our completely full strength XI that Chelsea will have much chance.

I doubt he would have posted it if he wasn't playing

George Bannister (I know, I know) said there was going to be a fitness test at 1pm today and that he heard Destiny trained yesterday but didn't know how he came out of it.

What was his injury again?

Ankle ligaments is what I heard.

He's now saying...



Sounds promising but whatever. I'm going to stop checking these questionable sources and wait for the team news (or someone more reputable).

If he plays, he will likely be up against Sterling, right? Huge test. But he’s already faced Salah and Saka. So, based on those two encounters, he has nothing to fear. Plus, what a luxury knowing VdV is always right behind him!

Even if VDV wasn't right behind him he would be by the time it mattered.

Good Doggie! So glad he's fit

First one, I think he knew he had a clear line to the ball. He literally sprang up instantly to carry on the attack etc. Second one, I think he felt he had to take one for the team and genuinely thought he could get it. He knew straight away he'd fucked it. Learn from it. Move on etc.

He's had a tough one tonight and got caught up in the emotion and intensity of the game. The 2 footed challenge was just low enough but can be given as a red. The 2nd yellow is just unnecessary when you already have a yellow. He's still young so have to accept these mistakes but he's such an upgrade for that position so it's worth it.

The first one should have been red. Second yellow is one of those things.

Tricky, I think he's just low enough for the first by the time he gets to the ball. However you cant risk those type of tackles now. Its a yellow for me but not a red unless he goes over the ball.

 

[Tucker]

Don’t think he should be immune from the same criticism Romero is getting. He was a bellend tonight too.
