Oo yah beauty

Morgan, Benalouane, Chilwell together at last

The dream team

 

[Skitzo]

strange to see neither Leo, Slimani or Gray on the bench but Thomas and Gordon are there

Gray missed the last game too, probably an injury.

Some of the squad players played for the under 23s against Norwich this afternoon. King and Simpson scored.

Gray was named on the bench last game but didn't come on

 

[Micky]

I wonder if Simpson, Slimani, Musa, Leo and King are potentially on the way out...

Did he injure himself warming up?

 

[Miles Away]

State of that side.

Back four is a crime against humanity.

I posted a link in the speculation thread, we've agreed a deal "in principal" for Slimani to move on loan

 

[Skitzo]

Did he injure himself warming up?

if he did they didn't say anything, they had 14 subs so not everyone was going to play

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Crikey, that defence. I know it's a friendly but a drubbing isn't going to do anyone any good.. potential experience playing against very good quality for some of the younger players at least I guess.

 

[Skitzo]

what exactly are the injuries to Evans and Mendy?

 

[Miles Away]

I know Vardy and Maguire aren’t there...but that side is fodder.

Why the **** were King and Simpson playing this afternoon when we have some right dross in there tonight!?!

Also surprised at no Gray again as I'm sure the team sheet posted in here didn't have him on the bench for the last game either.

Lots of pressure on Maddison as he is literally the only creative player out there tonight.

 

[Miles Away]

No Gray Okazaki King Simpson Musa Slimani or Ulloa.

If they aren’t part of the plan then why in the blue **** have they been playing in the friendlies prior?

I honestly can’t piece together the plan at all. Can someone more enlightened show me the way?

 

[Robin127]

... Simpson scored.

Now that's something I never thought I'd live to see, even in an U23 game.

This.

I'm a Puel shake it all about-er but this is ridiculous.

I was expecting to see the 11 he hopes to start against Utd start tonight.

Oh and just checked, Gray wasn't one of the 14 listed on the bench for the last game going by the team sheet posted on here.

Surely he can't be on his way too??

 

[Jeff]

Tonight's game is about fitness. Maybe the plan was to give some players 90 minutes for the under 23s this afternoon, and some 90 minutes tonight.

I think that's more likely to happen on Saturday.
