[Miles Away]

The ropiest of benches

 

[Jeff]

Subs: Ward, Jakupović, Morgan, Justin, Choudhury, Albrighton, Pérez, Ünder.

 

[Lako42]

Two keepers on the bench.

Absolutely pathetic planning from the management to not have Slimani in the squad, no matter what you think of him as a player.

 

[Brown Nose]

Subs: Ward, Jakupović, Morgan, Justin, Choudhury, Albrighton, Pérez, Ünder.

So only 8 named and no Thomas. Maybe we didn't register him in time?

 

[Jenks]

Two keepers? Wtf?

Two keepers on the bench.

Absolutely pathetic planning from the management to not have Slimani in the squad, no matter what you think of him as a player.

From the press conference yesterday:

On Slimani's absence in the squad, he added: "The squad had to be handed in much earlier than the Premier League squad and unfortunately, thinking maybe he [Slimani] wasn't going to be here, that's the reason why."

 

[Jeff]

Two keepers? Wtf?

We can have 12 players on the bench.

 

[Jeff]

Two keepers on the bench.

Two keepers?

Most teams have two keepers on the bench in this competition, and the Champions League.

knowing this club almost certainly

Yet we've named injured players who more than likely will miss most of the games

Ridiculous

in the CL they name 9 subs, only in the final do they name 12 so they only name 1 keeper on the bench

Then they are all a bit silly.

Ridiculous

Some of which were not injured at the time we put the squad forward. We've been hit pretty hard by some lengthy lay offs this season/late last season...

 

[Micky]

I have it on good authority that both Schmeichel and Ward will get injured in this game and Jakupovic will save a last minute penalty.

 

[mabrah]

Maybe Jakupovic is a half decent striker? More than can be said of Slimani.

 

[Jenks]

What is 'Champions League'...?

 

[Jeff]

in the CL they name 9 subs, only in the final do they name 12 so they only name 1 keeper on the bench

Not this season. 12 on the bench. Five substitutions allowed (but only on three occasions during the match)

 

[big_mac4824]

Maddison on the wing?

The ropiest of benches

Should have a fresh squad for the Arsenal game then
