Gonna head for the Warehouse, not had food in there, anyone know if any good?
Went there before the Newcastle cup game and for an hour after the Leeds game. Didn’t eat in there, but two or three choices for about a tenner each. Easy to get served for beers. Its not like a great pub, e.g. Bartons talk, but its ok, other football on the screens, ex players being interviewed live etc

I'd go with Martinez, Cash (Bogarde), Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Onana, Luiz, McGinn, Rogers, Barkley, Tammy.

I fear Emery will go with Bailey and Watkins again.

Does that leave Sancho or Bailey? Buendia limped off at weekend.

I dont know the rules but why did we put Baileys name in the squad and not Barkleys?

Manager decided it. Barkley was coming back from injury but was on the bench for the match where we would have had final decision. I suspect he didn't think Barkley would last or realised he didn't really have a right side player with letting Guessand and Malen go. (Bad jokes about we still don't with Bailey playing inbound).

We could add three new players to the original squad to replace Malen, Guessand and Kamara. Abraham, DL, Bailey and Barkley

Presumably at the time we thought we had enough in the midfield, and Bailey was needed in place of Malen and Guessand over both DL and Barkley being needed in place of Kamara.
