Here we go - another 90+ mins of purgatory!

No idea what to expect, no idea who we'll pick, no idea if we'll score, but its Saturday and we're at the Bridge.  KTBFFH!!!

Would be OK if we get a draw to be honest. Scoring a goal would be an additional plus. Maybe 1-1?

Scoring would be a plus but I see a 2 or 3 nil loss coming 

I'm looking forward to seeing Mendy in goal, never understood the harsh criticism towards him.

Hopefully we rest some players for our most important game of the season against Madrid on Tuesday.  

FYI..  Madrid didn't include Kroos and Vinicius in their squad for the cadiz game and I am sure they will rotate players because they know if we increase our intensity in the return leg they will have problems. 

 

 

Nice to see Chalobah, Zakaria and Mudryk getting starts.

Would have picked Mount ahead of Gallagher personally ...

Felix rested/dropped, as you prefer LOL

A ton of changes. Kai didn't even make the bench.

Well...

Would have liked to see an actual striker for a change. Aubameyang or DD Fofana over Sterling would have been much appreciated.

Interesting that Havertz isn't even on the bench.

It looks like it's 4-3-3, with Trev at right back.

I guess one of Sterling/Pulisic as the false 9 ... ?

D Fofana and anyone except bloody Gallager ..  otherwise I'm happy..🙂

Agree.. wth has happened to Madueke? Seems to have disappeared and would have been perfect on the RW, not convinced in Pulisic as a RW.

Most probably means he's being rested/saved for Madrid game.

If he got injured today we'd be absolutely shagged for forward options LOL

T.Silva and Kante fully rested. 

mudryk masterclass incoming

Next season him and CHO will tear up the whole league

I doubt many of us would have expected Lamps not to start Mount in any of his first 3 games back.

Noni has disappeared over the same cliff as Chukwuemeka and Hall 🙂

You mean the one DD Fofana fell off months ago after being axed at HT despite being the best attacker? Another Potter masterclass I love to remember ...

It really is so strange to watch the likes of Villa playing such incredibly good football. How do we make it look so bloody difficult?!

Very strange. I wonder if this is some sort of direction from above, due to contract negotiations etc. Mount hasn't started a game since 18th February now ...

Been flagged for offside arriving to the Bridge, I suspect.

Quite a pile up at the bottom now LOL. I think they all landed on Hutchinson 🙂

Unbelievable that we were ahead of them on goal difference at end of March, and now a hair over two weeks later we trail them by 11 points.
