Bench a bit threadbare. Need a couple in this week.

Senior players missing: (is the new RB a senior player?) Mings, Torres, Onana, Barkley, Malen

Good to see Jed Steer in the pre-match build-up on AVTV's live coverage.

In the summer there was talk on strengthing the depth of the squad - not convinced that was actually true.  Win this game and results go are way and its worth 11m and we have 2 keepers and 2 kids on the bench.  And a youth dcm playing at CB

Bailey. Sigh. But I guess at the moment we don't have a lot of choice.

You have to have 2 keepers on the bench in UEFA games.

Just got a feeling we will be on it tonight.  Great opportunity for Bogarde.

Listening to WM on the way in and could clearly hear the IRA chants in the background.  Should be fun!

Yes but up to 6 senior players are unavailable tonight. 22 senior pros is as good as you'll get.

Really - I never knew that.  Why that?  Can you sub both on at the same time?

Remember  when they were trying to tell us that we have improved on the squad depth?  All nonsense. We look thinner than last season.

Yet we are loaning more players  out and have had no one else come in yet

Anyway enjoy the game  everyone! Lets do this !!
