Two keepers on the bench again does rather tell its own story about our January window.

Nevertheless, it's a decent team that looks pound-for-pound better than theirs, I'd say.

[PaulWinch again]

Interesting Digne is first choice. Win please.

[Percy McCarthy]

2 keepers again. Digne back in, despite Emery saying ‘who?’ at his presser.

[Risso]

Two keepers, FFS, what on earth is the point of that? At least put a youth player on the bench who you might need to call on, or who you can throw on for 30 minutes if we're 3-0 up.

[Beard82]

Assuming that Duran's in because Steers still injured?

[jwarry]

Where is Moreno?u

[PaulWinch again]

I don’t get the two keeper thing.

I'm not sure what it says. Kadan Young has bene on the bench regularly since the WC and is available so if it was just about lack of numbers you'd still have him ahead of Sinisalo.

I wonder if it 's because Emery likes the look of him and wants to get him used to the 'experience' with us but doesn't want to put the pressure on him potentially having to come into the team if Martinez gets a knock

I don’t get that at all. I wish someone in the media would ask him because there is literally no need for it. If you don’t trust Olsen that you need to add the kid, don’t put him in the squad and add another player.

I think their forward options are better than ours. I'd rather have Maddison and Barnes than Buendia or Bailey.

Sinisalo is a youth player!

Surely he can just sit in the dugout without having to waste a space in the squad? It's madness.

They look very attacking.  Of course Maddison starts for the first time in ages.
