After the second leg = Fulham.

Ok, so that is the one that I'm most interested to see what lineup we put out.
see what happens Wednesday mate, Mikey has done well for game time as a 17 year old over the past month or so, can understand trying to give Odobert minutes as he recovers from injury. Moore will get some more game time between now and the rest of the season I'm sure.
Up front is the interesting one. Ange obviously likes and trusts Dane as he has brought him on when games have been in the balance. He will want to protect Tel a bit as he is short of confidence. I reckon he might just start Dane up top and put Tel on the wing giving Sonny or BJ a rest. It's not a must win game like Saturday, main thing is to not pick up injuries to key players.
Yes because we play AZ at 8pm on the 13th March, then Fulham at 1:30pm on the 16th March.
Lunch time at Fulham. Wonderful kick off time. Will be a huge test. Those are the games we have always struggled with.
My point is that Tel has been assured of game time by Postecoglou during the transfer negotiation or it's been at least reported that way. He's also on £80.000 pw, so it's as if he's always going to get the shout ahead of Scarlett no matter how well or badly each of them contribute..
I feel lunchtime is the best time to play away games. Home fans are always half asleep.
Here’s four: going back to Leipzig
Bou is in between. Fulham is after second AZ game and before International break. Bournemouth is the heavy rotation game
Yeah you'd expect him to have been told he'd get some good mins. But as I replied to you earlier Richy was still fit when he signed and Solanke a month or so off of a return, so it's highly unlikely he would have been told he was guaranteed to start the rest of the season at CF. Much more likely he was told he'd get some starts across the front three.
Now you could argue - as I did at the time - that we shouldn't have signed him in the first place as we should give the chance to our own youth players. But I was wrong, because I wrongly assumed Richy could stay fit for a few months.
Now I want Dane to succeed I really do, but having him and Lankshear as our only two options at CF would have been too much pressure, and have played into the tight fisted Levy narrative.
Would love one of VDV or Romero at least on the bench for this one…

Thats before an international break so we'll go as strong as possible. Can't see Ange resting the likes of Kulusevski just so he's fresh for Sweden
I think we've lost very game before an INTL break. Especially the ones after a Europa week. Maybe they all were.
On Wednesday I want to see Pep on his knees with more scratches to his head than Terry Funk after a No Holds Barred match
Funk-U 4 lyfe.
Yeah terrible record. TBH I don'tmind losing to Fulham as long as we beat AZ. Obviously want us to win every game but the league games are starting to feel a little irrelevant to me. Finishing 8th or 15th really won't change my life much
I want us to win both mate.
I get that we can't win the PL but in a season like this, I just want to win every.single.game we have left.
I get that. I'd just have a massive preference for winning the EL games over PL. Wouldn't dissappoint me if we rotate in the league personally
Yeah, I get that. I feel the same way generally. However, I've seen it written that each spot in the league is worth an extra £3.5m. So the difference between 8th and 15th is 24.5 million quid. Could be the difference between a meh signing and a 1st pick.
Unlikely I know but every little helps.
Having said all that, I'd rather finish 15th than 8th and win the Europa.

agreed, not sure why people are so desperate to see him play, based on his CV to date
