Where’s Philogene? Is that two keepers on the bloody bench?

At least we got enzo to use when we pick up a injury or two

Oh wait 😁

Where's Donk? I assume he's gone if we've named that bench.

Our bench already looking a lot less impressive than it did two weeks ago.

I can’t see anything wrong with a bench of Ramsey, Duran, Buendia, Maatsen and Barkley. That’s bloody strong!

Suddenly the bench isn’t looking quite as good as it did. Two keepers and Swinkels, great.

It is, and chances are they're the 5 we'd be using anyway, but against West Ham we had a bench that any of the players could have got on and we'd have been happy enough.

Stop moaning it will look great when Kamara Cash Mings and Philogene are back in January when we are out of the Champions League.

Do Swinkles and Bogarde count as home grown? Would be good if they're actually up to playing some games this season, that would put us up to 4 homegrown, if they count

Posted in the pre match thread but big call to start Bogarde, right back or in the centre?

They better be up to playing games given one is starting and the other is on the bench.

Swinkles could just be there to make up the numbers. Hopefully Bogarde is up to it.

Bogarde is interesting but Emery did drop a hint yesterday. I guess he’s been around the place longer than Ned, perhaps more in tune with our way.

Risso isnt moaning he is raising a valid point mate
