Doesnt have to be. Finding a left winger to play as back up to Gordon isn't going to be so difficult, where as Ramsey as an upgrade to Willock might be the exact target Howe wants.

If this was planned, its a low key brilliant idea to get the lads chilled out and seeing the bigger picture. I doubt our players are nervous for the big match on sunday but this is the sort of thing that is quite humbling. Also, wonder if any of those young lads become super stars.

Bollocks to that, let's let Parish think we are his mate and that he's "won", that way we can nick more of his players in the future.

Who gives a fuck man, he's going, we made a nice buck, good times.

Would love the ref to blow ridiculously early just for bantz.

A heck of a lot. But i agree. He's a good player.

Sorry who?

Eze is class but we've all seen players of his quality not quite live up to the billing. IMO he's completely wasting his career at Palace. Put him in a side which is already doing well, with other decent players and he'd flourish.

The same charade every year. "Worst shirt in the world." Etc.

Just feels like a big name will win this?

The drama of pens is the only way to finish this but can see more goals

Holy fuck.

We'd give either of these sides a game. In fact, I'd say Gordon and Isak would love that Barca back line.

Regardless of your view on the pen, stuff like that will happen when you defend in such a way. You don't win CLs defending like that. Traditionally, trying to simply outscore the opposition for 2 sets of 90 minutes without ever thinking about consolidation in spells, will catch you against good sides.

Yeah i hear ya. I think we will be looking in the 40- lower 50 bracket. 21-26, experience for their age etc, internationals, at clubs who are vulnerable to us.
