Issac is already back training with the group!
Isaac didn’t make the list, I don’t think it’s serious, just still not 100% recovered. So maybe Ejuke works the centre spot or is he going to stick with Iheanacho?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Manu Bueno get the start. He’s been playing pretty well at SAT.
I have doubts about Iheanacho getting the start, considering he got subbed off last game while still chasing the win. I think Lukebakio is better suited for that spot, giving us the chance to have Navas/Juanlu & Ejuke working the flanks. Dodi can be a 1-man counterattack.
Mateo Majía has been playing right wing for SAT. I doubt he gets the look at the #9 but it’s possible.
I imagine it’s Iheanacho again or Peque. Lukebakio is an option too, but I would hate to lose him as an outlet.
I’ve always wanted to see Bade & Nianzou at the back. Let’s see how they manage knowing we’re not strong defensively at fullback either.
2nd straight start for Barco. I like his ability on the ball, so hopefully he can help Peque solve some problems in midfield.
Let’s go!!! Looks like a beautiful day there in Bilbao.
If you offered me a point I’d snap your hand off.
Endure and survive.
Some really good attacking movement early.
Watching the pre match Livestream and found this gem:
One of the coaches has a variety of Zoolander’s syndrome… Can’t turn right
Barco and Ejuke have some fun chemistry to watch
Watching the game in a bar in Mallorca, only me and the barman, who appears to be a Gijon supporter. There are more folks round the corner at another bar watching the cricket
A Williams one-two almost had us one down
Barco got smoked with that pass
Nyland using his head… literally and figuratively
Barco doing well in attack with Ejuke. But both Williams bros doing him for pace every time when defending.
