Oooooooya ****er.

Assuming Cags has a knock.

 

[M17TT C]

Soyuncu injured now??

Big risk to start Fofana but starting Vestergaard instead would be gifting them the match.

Quite nervous for the game tbh.

 

[Volpone]

Cags?

 

[Lako42]

Guessing Nacho will be horribly isolated

 

[Miles Away]

Daka, Soumare and Cags missing.

“Illness” mentioned on Twitter.

Given that Brendan has said Fofana will play "some part" tonight, and looking at the bench Vestergaard will have to come on at some stage, unless Hamza comes on as a center half!

Fuuuuck was my first response when seeing Forfana in.

 

[TommyK]

Wtf is that bench? Have we not got any under23s we can call up?

Psychotic to start Fofana for his first competitive match in 10 months. This isn't a match to roll the dice.

I wonder if I might be a back three with - Amartey Fofana Justin - to protect him?

Looks like Covid is fecking us again.

Looks like Covid is fecking us again.

It's fecked me this week. Pretty sure I got it either at or travelling to last Thursday's match. Tested positive on Sunday. Starting to feel better now.

Good to hear that you're coming out the other end. For some reason, despite it being absolutely everywhere again, nobody seems to be talking about it any more.

Because unlike Putin it doesn't target children.

JJ to centre back and Ricardo on at right back?

I can see us having to use 2 subs for defenders here.

Nervous for Fofana to start but if we can score and not concede first half then hopefully he can come off at half time

Excited to see Little Wes back though!

Genuinely cannot believe we are starting Fofana.

It’s insane

 

[Graz]

I think it's insane if we give Fofana more than 45 mins, but starting him and brining him off at half time isn't that different to bringing him on for the last 30 mins is it?

I also doubt he'd have started if Soyuncu was available

 

[M17TT C]

Anyone moaning about Fofana starting - surely starting Vestergaard would be more mental??

Don't worry, when his leg is hanging off at 60 minutes we'll bring on the world renowned oil tanker Johnny Vestypants to see us through
