This is the first proper test and I expect Pep to learn much more than he realises today. I'm baffled though as to why he rates Willy above Joe and why Yaya is not involved. It tells me we have a long term plan but I'm not sure we have any plan for now. To answer the question I don't think we will do well at all today.
Pep has said Joe came back late because of the euros and Willy was training from the start so the decision was easy. Joe has made his bed here. Kdb came back early to try and impress and he is a starter.
Yaya has been training since the first session and still isn't fit enough to play in peps style.
Piss poor from both of these so called professionals.
I would have Yaya on the bench at least. He isn't high energy but I do think he would suit some games. His range of passing and control were missing last week against a poor Sunderland midfield. I don't know how fit he is but a few people did comment that he looked a little trimmer during pre season. It's all speculation as none of us know. I don't know what arrangements were made with Joe but Pogba only landed 10 days ago. I thought Willy was poor in pre season. Pep does nt have to rate Joe and has every right to replace him but I would be picking him until that happens.

Yes. Most disappointing. Plus it's only to accommodate Navas. I think this formation is weaker than what we had midweek.

Nolito got kicked a lot in the week. Might be something to do with it
