Is it time to roll the dice?

Postby gillie » Wed Apr 27, 2016 8:17 am

What I mean is go balls out in Madrid and to do that we would have to play the kids again versus Southampton just to maximise rest for the 1st team. I f we play the kids it could make things difficult re: automatic qualification for next seasons CL. If we finish 4th our pre-season tour might get thrown into kilter I sure as hell am happy I don't have to make the call!

Throwing the FA cup is one thing. Putting out a seriously weakened team away at a decent PL outfit when we need a win is very dangerous. I myself, would like to see Aguero and KDB and possibly Fern rested but 4/5 changes won't do us any favours.

We have a much fitter squad now than for the Chelsea game so I am sure there will be plenty of changes but not using too many kids. Kun is the one needing a rest most I think which will probably mean Bonehead starting.

Bugger. Is it the 2.00 kick off or the 12.00? Depending on that result we can change the team about.

Pity their game won't have finished before we have to name our side. We could have had two separate starting 11s.

As it is, we need to for at least a point and try for all 3 to keep us ahead of Arse.

With Silva, Nasri and possibly Yaya injured, I'm not sure we have many options anyway. Sterling should start, as he needs the game time to get fit, but maybe take off after an hour if he's needed for Madrid. Fullbacks change, Mangala gets a game, probably for Kompany, so biggest issues are the Ferns and KDB. Delph can replace one, but then... Nacho & Sterling behind Bony?

They KO 14:05 & us at 16:30 so unless Leicester are raping them 3-0 nil or more by 15:29 your plan is scuppered i'm afraid, shame, nice idea though

We can be 2 points behind spurs on Sunday evening. Now that would be lovely

Get the logic but would rather if they lose we get three points in the bag that would mean at the very least 4th and that lot Europa again. Cause them more damage and might spur us on for arse.
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

Oui oui.

i want no Bony cuz he's no beuno.

Nacho in, Kun out.
Mangler. Delph. Kev Breezy can actually do 60 mins. He's a ginger soulja. He's fine. I'd chuck Raheem on as well with a Fern. Maybe Chunky Fern and let Little Ferdinand have a rest cuz he'll be the most crucial cunt in Madrid i feel. the team will go the way he goes.

So what've we got then....

Hart
the slightly more crap pair of fullbacks in Pabs and Aleks
Mangler and Vinnie i reckon....tho CB is probably the most confusing to pick. pick two cunts..i can't decide but Vinnie i think needs to get sharper. And he'll motivate the team for a needed win.
midfield of Delph Fernando Sterling and Navas.
Kev Breezy in the hole running around with his orange self and Nacho up front.

Boom.

cheers

Can't see VK playing. Pellers said he can't do two games a week and I know which one I would prefer him in.

I think he will name a pretty weak team. I know I would. One game away from arguably the clubs biggest final ever. Time to take a gamble.
