Strange match to risk Pau for.

I think he wants to see the Konsa, Lenglet, Torres back three in a match before the Spurs match on Sunday. He used the Euro matches to try out similar formations before the league matches last year as well.

Strange match to risk Pau for.

Throwing him straight back in against Spurs could be equally risky. The plan might just be to play him for 60 minutes.

Ajax should forfeit the tie immediately and be thrown out the competition for fielding an ineligible player.
The number 13 has the name Kaplan, his real name is Roger Thornhill !

Maybe wants to give him some game time before Spurs, I suspect he will come off after 60 minutes?

I like this team, if we are going to progress we need all of these players to be able to step up when needed.

Rogers bothers me. His assimilation is nowhere near complete. But what do I know.

Christ, that's who I did my accountancy training with. Kaplan, not Thornhill.

I know Castore are rubbish and everyone hated the kits this season, but...... this blue one has really grown on me.

I like the white one, too, and tbh, the home kit isn't too bad.

The whole sweat thing, though, is outrageous.

Did we ever get that fixed? They said we were getting new kits but I don't remember hearing anything else.

Personally I didn't mind any of the kits this year. The sponsor is ugly AF on the home one, but the one colour on the other kits is alright.
