To be fair we’re also restricted here with Solanke and Maddison being injured.
I’m not sure who it matters to either, England are producing some of the best young players in the world these days and the ones that come through the big clubs are becoming elite. I certainly wouldn’t swap squads with the Norwegians and I’d argue only Spain and France are in our league when it comes to producing top drawer young players these days.
Interestingly the FA is still evolving the youth path further, grass roots U6 next season start with 3 v 3 matches rather than 5 v 5 to ensure everyone gets more touches of the ball.
Bodo/Glimt have a strong home record and we were somewhat fortunate last season (not taking anything away from us or Ange) that we got them in the home game with 3 of their best players missing, they then had to chase that second leg at their place whereas we could sit back and frustrate them.
A draw here would be a decent result and hopefully we avoid injuries.
I would give Kudus a rest and start BJ, with Xavi moving back to the left and Bergvall playing 10.

Deadest of dead legs
Confidence sapped after Saturday night.
WE SHOULD DO EM, WE GOT A GOOD DRAW ETC but…
Will take a point and run home before the cold sets in TBH.
We will miss the strength of Dom/RKM.
1-1

Yeah, Brennan absolutely deserves tô start after his Wolves cameo!
Solanke: Speaking on Friday, Frank insisted it was not a "big" injury and that it was not ligament damage, but admitted Spurs had struggled to get to the bottom of the problem.
Translation: Fuck knows what wrong with him.
Muani: "It is one of those where sometimes they can take a week or other times they can take a couple of weeks because it's started to bleed again unfortunately," Frank said on Friday.
WTF? Bleeding? Again? That's one bad dead leg.
FFS, what a pair.
Tbh, I don't want us to draw with a team whose name sounds like a pair of grave-robbing hobbits. We must leave their icy land with our pride intact.Confidence sapped after Saturday night.

He'll be back soon, we're just waiting for the leg to be reincarnated and then grown to adult size...
Nah bollocks, we beat them twice quite comfortably last season when form had hit rock bottom, assuming the weather hasn't gone full ice age yet then we should be disappointed with anything less than 3 points here.Confidence sapped after Saturday night.

Solanke was just a knock and expected back after the last international break and yet still nothing.
He's in the Champions League squad so you'd like to think that he's imminent in his return otherwise we may as just as well put Tel in the squad instead.
