Lascelles and Schar mint again tonight

Like Gallagher on the weekend, thank God Dembele is shite

Get in Hall for some energy for Miggy/Gordon? Perhaps someone for Isak too as he wont be doing much

There's no contact.

Okay we're hanging on a bit now. Little energy left seems like.

Oh my word what a save Pope!!!!

They're all visibly knackered. Going to be a long half I dont think we'll have much of a threat on the counter.

What a game this would have been to have Willock with his running on the counter, real shame he's out.

Miggy and Gordon looked tired already, understandably so of course. Game management required.

We really should just never pass back to Pope Heart in mouth every single time

Yup hopefully Miggy is fine.

Ooof need half time here, fortunate/brilliant block there from close range.

Gordon not having his best game. We've been excellent down the right mostly.

This is an excellent performance so far. We look good on the ball, confident even though we havent created too many clear chances.

Bad pass from Schar but how calm is Tino on the ball. What a player.

Tino wow what a run!!!!!!!!!

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

Joe is becoming the new Bruno with the silly challenges

Oh that was a chance, great work from Miggy to set it up for Isak.

I'd rather not risk anything for this game, if we manage to scrape a result fantastic, but the focus should be Saturday. As incredible as a CL run would be we, we aren't winning it or getting too far this year. The squad is in tatters. I'd rather we establish the top 4/5 league status than make a maverick run to the quarter finals and finish 8th. Cup wins and CL runs are coming lads, just not for a year or two perhaps. Right now is about building foundations to be an ever present CL team, not a wide eyed Leceister City type thing going down in a flame of glory never to be seen again.

Fingers crossed Isak stays fit and gets to the levels near the end of last season. As has been said he's a world class finisher and adds so much to the attack even when not in full flow. He's something else in full flow though isn't he, can proper terrorize defences.

England is no criteria these days tbh. Gallagher and Rashford getting in the squad says it all. Of course it's early days and all for Gordon but he's already showing great qualities at a very young age. More end product than some wingers we've had for years.
