He looked bushed and didn’t play to anywhere near his best. Kovacic has to play. I’d rest Haaland too. Play Alvarez up front. If there’s any concern about Phil he should be on the bench. Opportunity for Rico unless Walker is fit enough. Oscar ought to play too. A rested Rodri plus Walker and Kevin means we should be a lot better on Wednesday. We need to be. A brave performance but a lot of players were well off their best. Real will feel they missed a big chance of finishing us off at 2-1 in the first half.
Agree with that. I can see him resting a few more as well such as Grealish, Stones and Silva.
Could be Ed, Rico, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Kev, Kova, Nunes, Doku, Alvarez, Bobb. Big guns on the bench just in case.
