It's like saying you prefer being constipated to having the runs. Both horrible.

Not a great eleven to be honest in a game where we usually have problems.

Good solid team with options on the bench is needed. If the crowd get behind us early this should be straight forward.

100% Don't know if Pep's doing his "look, look! My squad isn't big enough" bullshit again.
