Traditional Saudi Arabian cuisine?

You are mixing up your WBA players. Callum Robinson (who also scored against us for Sheff United) is still with the Baggies. Al-Hilal do have Matheus Pereira who was one of the better players for WBA last season and scored twice in the game at the Bridge.

I actually dont mind if we lose this because if Al Ahly win the other game we get a fixture of Al Ahly v Al-Hilal, and when you say that it sounds brilliant...

Yeah don't think Palmerias will let that happen

1-0 Palmerias.

Zsolt Low has described tomorrow game as 50/50 as we are not in good shape due to travel, time zone changes and bad sleeping.

 

Team news: Reece came to be involved with the group but won't be involved in the cup games.

Mendy may play if he arrives from Senegal today depending on his condition but seems unlikely.

Mount serious doubt, bench most likely.

 

Low forgot to add our forwards could not hit a barn door with a truck.

2-0 Palmeiras,  guess we have to win to set  up your match as a third place playoff.

Palmeiras through then. Gotta make them favorites if we make it past AL-Hilal as of late we can only beat none league quality sides over 90 minutes. You know sides like Chesterfield and Tottenham.

For us in the UK, the game tomorrow is on E4..........yes, E4. I don't think I have ever watched a game of football on E4 before 😆

Can we without our CL winning manager out do Al-Hilal and hand @dkw his hoped for match of Al Ahly vs Al-Hilal? Or will the ex Monaco supremo incharge of the Saudis get one over Low and company?

Palmerias looked pretty good. Also, having been in the competition last year and failing to even make the final, they have the bit between their teeth.

First things first though, we've got to beat the Asian Champions Al Hilal who also look pretty serious about trying to win this.

Yeah they got payback after losing on pens to Al Ahly last time out.

And agreed, cannot take Al Hilal lightly. Got the only manager who ever made Bakayoko look competent and a midfielder who for west brom tore us to pieces last season.

 

Hoping to see this side if possible 

 

Mendy

 

Chalobah

Silva

Rudiger

 

Dave

Kante

Kovacic

Alonso

 

Ziyech 

Havertz
