Three chances created...two for us and one for them

He's definitely got the odd mistake in him, but **** me what a player he is

[Shaggy]

Left out of the Spain squad. Absurd, but great for us.

[Mark79]

Lovely. No reason why he can’t feature against Forest then.

Thiago didnt play vs City earlier this season. Nor Chelsea home or away or League Cup. When he plays we tend to win.

Then look at his career trophy haul. We need to manage his game time for sure. And that starts 100% with him being fit to play City. Defo rest him tomorrow.

The pass on ten seconds is utter filth.

Hasnt he also won the League every season he has been a pro except for last season?

[Buzzo]

... no way we risk him tomorrow.

When the games have been coming twice a week, we’ve been alternating Thiago with Naby in the LCM position all season (when they’ve both been available).

Thiago takes the bigger games, but Naby’s form this season allows us to manage Thiago without a risky drop off in quality or any compromise to our preferred midfield set up.

Really important that we can keep both fit for the run in. We need Naby to be able to effectively manage Thiago and still maintain a strong midfield. And we need Thiago if we’re going to make this a special season.

he didnt go away on internationals though and I can't see Benfica being a bunch of hackers I think Fab/Thiago sub will happen, no idea which way round

I don’t think it’s about someone hacking him down- I think it’s more about playing every few days… I would tend to try to limit him to once a week- we have the squad to rotate now, so let’s use it. I’d want him playing against city next 2 weeks, and hopefully we don’t need him in either of the benfica games (have him on the bench just in case). After that, reassess, based on what we’re still going for.

Yeah but I think he's missed all the big games we've dropped points in - City, Chelsea, Spurs etc
