Dead game... they have won the group, we have finished second... a good opportunity to play players that need minutes or experience.
Rumours are that Mourinho has travelled with a complete reserve/fringe squad, and left some coaches at home to work with the first team.
I agree with this approach, dare i say that under Poch we would have probably travelled with the full squad, and made only about 4 changes. Poch loved playing our key players in meaningless games or at silly times in meaningless games (Kane coming on at Tranmere at 6-0 up is a perfect example).
Anyway...............
----------------------------------Whiteman-----------------------------
--KWP---------------Foyth--------------------Tanganga-----------------Rose
-------------------------Dier--------------Winks-----------------------------
-------Eriksen--------------------GLC-------------------------Sessegnon
-----------------------------------Parrott------------------------------
Now, that team probably loses (even if Bayern play reserves too), but if it gives us a better chance at Wolves, ahead of a busy Xmas then i don't mind too much.
Thoughts?
Team v Bayern

Usually under the previous manager, resting lots of players and saving them for the supposedly more important game usually meant two losses instead of one.
Let`s hope the same doesn`t happen this week.

Yeah fair enough. If Rose has indeed travelled then stick him at LB and Sess where Son is.

Think your spot on there Ace, reckon it will be Rose and Sess in Sons role.

I said last week this was a nothing game.
They're going to rest their top players,....why shouldn't we?
7 games in December, coming up Wolves and Chelsea.
Madness to risk injury to Kane, son, Alderweireld, Vertoghen, Alli, Moura,...
Give Parrott a match!!

Kane is fuming.
The one player Jose needs to keep onside.

Anyone else a bit peeved that we let Clarke go to waste at Leeds? He'd have gotten a game today, no doubt.

Nope, don't think he's even making the squad most games
