Have the AFCON players already left? Hopefully that midfield doesn't get bullied

[sdb]

Bench doesn't look the best. Let's hope Cannon has plenty of goals in him!

Not the awful Casadei- Yunus combo in CM again. 

 

No Ndidi, Nacho or Daka on the bench. Have they left for AFCON already?

Clubs are obliged to release players to their nations today (1 January). 

Fatawu in the team does suggest he isn't going – unless we've requested permission for him to play and his country has said yes. 

Fatawu is staying

[Unabomber]

Where’s Vardy 

[phoneticerror]

Fancy a challenge, so thanks for that line up Enzo

Fatawu has opted to be left out of afcon to concentrate on his club 💪

Cannon only available striker at the club. 

If he plays a stinker tonight or (heavens forbid) pulls up lame, Kevin might have to play the top striker role…

great chance for Cannon to impress.

Clubs should be seriously compensated for this AFCON nonsense. They choose to hold it in the middle of the domestic season, they should have to pay the price.

[StriderHiryu]

A big test IMO but very interesting to see how the players that have been chomping at the bit perform.

 

I'd expect to see a pretty poor performance, but think we will grind it out eventually.

In the previous match day thread I stated that I was looking forward to a goalfest. I'd like to revise that down, to, any win will do.

So daka and niddi out because of afcon?

I thought they were available for this one? And does this mean fatawu ain’t going?

It’s been confirmed that Fatawu isn’t going.

We know the situation, were not under any obligation to sign African players.

Only 1 keeper on the bench ffs!?!   Enzo out. 

Beat me to it 

 

Was really expecting @Dahnsouff’s #benchofkeepers once the AFCON lot had gone!

 

If they were able to be in the squad today (based on them leaving tomorrow), it’s a bit frustrating we have chosen to leave them out but there must be good reason so let’s see how we go on.

Feels like it. Don't understand why it isn't played in the off season when there is no euros or World cup. Or play it at the same time as the euros for that matter

Wanya is now the back up forward?

[turlo]

I just hate the way AFCON organizers burst in to a board meeting with players in handcuffs  hold a gun to Tops head and force him to sign the player. It’s got to stop!

[Pliskin]

Interesting line up…. Should be enough…..
