Be great to have some bodies back.

Would be nice if we could win here. Tough game, with more challenging fixtures coming up.

Hope to see Barcola and Rio start again.

It's a battle and I'm not sure we're in good shape for one of those.

“Wait and see” for Isak, Gakpo and Szobo. Leoni won’t be ready to train with the team until after the next international break 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

2-2 - get yer mortgages on it

How long from "ready to train with the team" till a player is back in the match day squad, all going well? A month, two, more?

Yeah I don’t reckon we see him until FA Cup 3rd round or (if we’re lucky) a CL group game with nothing riding on it 

[Gethin]

Doesn't seem to be any mention of Jacquet's injury in the presser? 

Interesting to see if we risk him and keep Araujo at RB - 'cos the alternatives are Araujo at CB & Frimpong / Gomez at RB or Araujo at RB with Gomez at CB 

[Tobes Rafa]

If Gomez has to play I’d rather he not be in the middle.

I dont see Ngumoha starting two games in a week. 

[Cobs]

assuming Jacquet is injured you want height at the back to deal with these long throw k***heads. So i'd Gomez in at RB and Araujo in with Virigl at CB.

Hopefully Gakpo is back to to add some more height to defend set-pieces.

 

This is the sort of fixture we need to be winning though. Tough after a Euro away and their form is decent but player for player we're way ahead of them.

Player for player maybe, but they are a good TEAM. Very well drilled in how they play.

Huge if we win there tbh.

Remember when Darwin came on and smashed them. Great afternoon.

well, yeah - and good for them

there's not a single player of theirs i'd have over ours - so we need to go there, match their physicality, deal with the long throws and beat them at the football

This is a hard game. The way they play a weak ref could really f*** us over. After last week I could do with some decent officiating.

[YugoB]

I dont think Jacquet is injured

bazdev's lies get halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its trousers on.

What's that score in real math, not Macca math?

The fact he’s been subbed off in successive games suggests he’s probably carrying a knockoff some kind. I just worry that him playing through it risks a longer term injury 

[DanWM]

No photos from training today as far as I can see, maybe keeping fitness levels a bit quiet.

Did I hear the commentator on Wednesday saying Szoboszlai was with them on the bench? If everyone was available I'd have him in Wirtz's position. Don't think we can start Nyoni in this one though.
