Nice to see Rak-Sakyi getting a spot on the bench.

Fingers crossed we can put in a decent display.

It’s hardly a surprise but just look at the lineups and benches. Christ, they’ve got much, much better players than we could ever have.

Modern football eh?

Bats not on the bench? Is he carrying a knock?

Mateta is in danger of following in Camarasa's footsteps.

I had hoped he might get the nod over Tekkers today.

Can’t play against his parent club.

Ineligible as on loan from Chelsea

Same old lineup. Consistency but predictability.

 

TheBigToePunt Flag 10 Apr 21 5.09pm

I like Ayew but I think we are far better with Schlupp on the right. He makes such good forward runs off the ball, and nobody else offers that threat.

Of course, should have thought about that. Cheers.

Man city's bench today cost more than all CPFC staff, ground, training facilities, crown jewels, Belgium etc...

And they lost.

They already won the title thou, probably saving themselves for the other 3 competitions including final next week.

They lost a battle, but them and their kind always win the wars.

No links I’m afraid, but for anyone who hasn’t considered it, you can get Sky sports through Now TV either on a day by day basis or, what I’ve done this season, get a mobile pass only. I’m paying less than a tenner a month for Sky sports that way, watching games on my mobile phone.

It’s not for everyone of course, and I selected a larger phone than I normally would when my last upgrade was due because I knew I’d be watching football on it, but it’s worked out pretty well.

 

taylors lovechild Flag 10 Apr 21 5.26pm

Chelsea playing without a recognised striker; not sure if that's a good thing for us or not? I'm glad Giroud isn't starting though as he always gives us problems. The pressure is all on Chelsea, but how that will affect them only time will tell. Hopefully we give it a good go even if a win or a draw would be highly unlikely. Hudson Odoi as a right-wingback is possibly our one hope - why play an attacker to defend the one area we always attack? Of course he'll play a blinder now and prove me completely wrong!

 

TheBigToePunt Flag 10 Apr 21 5.31pm

We should definitely give young Rak-Sakyi a run out once we’re safely three nil up today.
