Have I missed something but why are players like Pogba, KDB and Sterling good to go for the opening weekend when playing to the end of the World Cup ? Where as Monreal is only returning to full training today when Spain lost in the Round of 16 ?
I’m really excited to see this team play some proper games now, even if we don’t get the results to start with I’m just looking forward to not knowing how the season will pan out before it starts.
I have a weird feeling in ma stomach guys. And no its not the chinese i just ate. We are going to suprise a few this season and tommorow Unai and his army of loyal soldiers will show Abu Dhabi no mercy. I predict a 5-1 bollocking of the soulles oil drillers. Jenkinson to come of the bench and score the 5th goal. COYG
Perhaps Emery doesn’t have much faith in Leno doesn’t believe he’s much of an upgrade on Cech?
Probably not wrong to be fair.
The difference in what we paid for a GK this summer and what Liverpool and Chelsea paid is pretty telling. We haven’t brought in a goalkeeper of that quality, whose inclusion is not up for debate. If we had, then the idea of “not throwing them in the deep end” wouldn’t even be an issue – If you know you have a great goalkeeper, you start them, whoever the opposition.
Hopefully we do see some improvement in Leno in the future, but for now, we have a pair of 5/10 goalkeepers and personally, i don’t think it really matters who starts tomorrow.
What a fucking waste of money he is then. Why would you spend £25m on a bench keeper? Surely sticking with Cech and Opsina is much more sensible then and saving the money.
