I'm OK with Buendia starting this as he does OK in Europe and doesn't get bullied off the ball as much. 

Our non-injured best 11 is Rogers left with Buendia out for one of Barkley or Luiz, but yeah, I can handle it. We need some pace next season to push on.

Anyway, hopefully Emi2 has a good game and I'm really looking forward to this.

Just to add, no bookings or injuries going into the Forest game, that is crucial.

Same with Rogers and his passing.

I'm glad you're OK with Rogers starting  ;)

Incredibly strong team - I’d have preferred Dougie in for Buendia and played Tielemans in an advanced role but Unai knows best.

Here we go.

It is a strong team.  But this is a European quarter-final, and we have a maximum of 12 games left until the end of the season, so if our best players are fit enough, they should be playing every game from here on in.

Good, I was hoping he'd have some more minutes in his legs, and get rid of any rustiness while not in Claret & Blue.

Surprised this is only the fourth time we've played in Italy.

He’s not eligible. But think he was injured anyway.
