Delph injured again?!

No one seems to know, only that he didn't train yesterday, i cannot find any mention of an injury anywhere.

Got a feeling tonight might be like the Steau game in the 2nd leg last season after we won 5-0 in the first leg.
Let's face it, we are through already. Why would we risk our best players?
Actually not fussed at all yet about the game tonight. Hopefully on seeing the team sheet with a couple of young uns in there might whet the appetite

Conversly, i'll consider not watching if YaYa starts (i still feel ungrateful typing that)

[Justified logic]

A strong team to start and hopefully a couple of early goals to kill their last vestige of resistance and then bring on the kids.

Pray not a boring 0-0 like super-attacking Liverpool treated us* to last night.

* Not us, obviously.

dont want to see Silva, Fern, or KDB start this one. i think only KDB of those 3 will even make the bench.

i happen to agree with him. i understand the 'winning breeds winning' thing and that the players want to play every game, but we should be sensible now that we're at the business end of the season.

Silva is in Spain and Fern not training yet due to hamstring injury.

Silva is absent and Fern didn't train = Insightful.

dearest, beloved Josep,

Am aware of that top pros, nevermind geniuses like Your goodself, don't take any challenge lightly and/or for granted.

just... deep in my cunt heart, I feel this home fixture, starting off a comfortable 4 away goals cushion, is the perfect scenario to award the mega talent of Phil Foden, local lad and Manchester and England's (hopefully) pride, a start in that inside AM role, where am sure You are carefully nurturing him to shine on the forthcoming future.

this would make my matchday perfect and all I want in advance for Xmas
would gladly leave consideration on further rotations in the sqad to Your unsurpassed managerial genius.

so many thanks, faithfully Yours
S4e

We've got 2 staff here that are ST at spuds who've nicked off early, they're hoping for a goaless draw....

I'm struggling with Danny Mills assessment of Juve as "Italian by nature". May need more time on that one
