Really Sarri

Azpilicueta seriously needs a rest, everyone knows that.

Why the f*ck do some think we will get destroyed tonight?

Get a grip, it’s Malmo, not bloody PSG or Juventus.

I predict a comfortable win.

I think we'll win but, would of liked azpi to get a rest after sunday and with us playing again monday plus how does pedro still stay in the team, hudson odoi hasn't played like about 2-3weeks yet only gets on the bench, that's my gripe with the selection

Its a frustrating lineup and it isnt PSG so give some other players a chance? CHO ready for big games? Lie. Ampadu no where to be seen. Barkley has been so frustrating but he cost money so he is a regular in the side regardless of how he performs. Giroud being in the squad isn't an issue. And i understand we are thin in midfield so maybe we shouldn't have let Fabregas go in the winter window? 

I'm sure I sound more dramatic than I'm intending. Just a frustration with Sarri overall.

How is it possible not to start Hudson-Odoi for this one? Baffling

Willian and Pedro have offered nothing but stinkers in their last few appearances and STILL Hudson-Odoi can't get ahead of them. If Hudson-Odoi was to put in the poor performances they have been putting in of late, he would probably never get another game at the club.

expecting a pretty sterile game like the other away games we've played in this competition. 

Can't understand why we gone near full strength to try and kill this tie. We don't play until Monday, but after the 2nd leg, we play in cup final on the Sunday. 

Disappointed CHO isnt playing too. 

I can only think Willian and Pedro are playing because of their defensive work and pressing off the ball. 

Pass around the box for an hour.

Get done on the counter. Score a sweaty goal.

1-1

Nothing to do with money, just about the club showing (and allowing fans to) gratitude and respect to long serving members of the team.

That Lampard, Cech and Cole all left with barely a whimper from the club is just a bit gutting.

It's something that has always bugged me. Our lot never get a proper send off, we must be the only ones in football not to do it. It's not just for their benefit but the fans too. A good chance for the fans to say goodbye and thanks in a non competitive football match.

That’s the worst argument ever for attacking players being picked. 

No away goals scored this year, so instead of playing the young lad who wants out because of playing time we pick the two players who’ve failed to deliver all season.

That’s such an uninspiring team selection from Sarri. 

Can't blame CHO if he leaves can you.

Malmo haven't even played a competitive game in over two months. We should crush them and CHO should have played!

I don't even know if I want to watch the match on Thursday. That being said, I'll probably be here watching the match on Thursday

Yep here I am haha bitching and complaining! Alright I'm over it, lets get the W and get ready for United 

Not one person accuse CHO of being selfish and having no loyalty when he forces through another move to Bayern in the summer. Ridiculous and we turned down so much bids for him and still don't play him. Then against United he will be a sub once again. The only way he starts against Malmo next week is if the tie is already finished by a few goals and what does that actually show? Sarri will never trust him.

This is Malmo not City.

I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or not...

Typical predictable lineup, CHO must be absolutely awful in training....

Disappointed CHO isnt playing too. 

I think he wants a convincing win in the first leg so he can easily focus more on the upcoming Carabao cup final.

Oh come on, Give Hudson Odoi a chance. Malmo haven't kicked a ball in three months.

Was expecting Willian after not playing Sunday. Clearly Pedro's sparkling performance against City gave him the nod.

Well Sarri certainly won't be thinking "oh this is Malmo, f**k it let's take it easy." Bad mindset to have when they have a good coach and tactically will set up well. It's like saying "oh, it's only Bournemouth" and look what happened. They are the champions of the Swedish league. BATE Borisov are currently leading Arsenal away. We can't just write off these teams as if they are total bums, especially not when they are champions in their respective league. This is arguably our best chance to get CL football, so why would Sarri take it lightly? 

CHO has 2 starts in 7 games in the Europa League and that was after we qualified. He should be starting every game against very poor opposition,  no wonder he wants to leave.

Why would I be trolling. Sarri said Hudson-Odoi needs to improve his movement and defensive work off the ball. If you've watched him, you will see with your own eyes that Sarri is right.

We've lost three consecutive away games by 0-12 and CHO haven't featured in one of them.
We can't do much worse giving him a chance can we?

How can he learn if he never plays?
