Is it me or does this nonsense tournament come round every 6 months

I remember the last one had some very entertaining matches.  Its all part of having international players.

[Nalis]

Can I revise my prediction from 8-1 to 3-1 after seeing the AFCON players are gone already?

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.

It’s “only” Huddersfield, so not particularly bothered for this one (or frankly the Millwall FA Cup game).

But going forward for the next couple of league games, here’s hoping we can minimize the injury bug. COYF!! 

[Dr The Singh]

Huddersfield team looks really strong

It’s probably not nonsense to the countries involved . If it helps develop the game in the African countries that’s a positive surely 

[Cropwellfox]

Bench would look better with kasey and vards fit. Hopefully both back next week

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!

But imagine the absolute uproar and claims of discrimination/racism if teams refused to sign African players.

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

Actually he was left out of squad not his choice

[NaijaFox]

The opposition…

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.

Don't forget that the Asian Cup is happening at the same time

Now watch Mo Salah start for Liverpool tonight

 Without a doubt. I dont mind as he's in my FPL team and need all the points I can get...

[Simonb]

Worry about the yunus casadei partnership.. especially when kdh could have next week off in the cup anyway.

 

Still could be a big win if we don't get bullied in the middle. Any win will do though

[Tuna]

thought this was an evening kick off 

[coolhandfox]

Imagine the breakdown on here if we lose without the Afcon boys.

[ithuriel]

Wonder if he has dropped KDH to the bench due to fatigue or wanting to see how other players are progressing?

you think that’s why we sign them? Because we are worried we’d be accused of racism if we don’t?

What's No 10s first name.. chicken?😂

[Ely fox]

A good team but I would have brought Danny Ward in because he played 43 games for Huddersfield and Daniel Armatey in defence.

If it’s not gone great first half can’t imagine KDH won’t be out for the second 45

[cruzFOX]

It is what it is folks. Enzo has had plenty of time to prepare for this so let’s get on with it. It’s not gonna be smooth sailing but if we can grind out the results until afcon is over that will be a job well done and another MOTM award for Enzo & crew.

Wanya is now the back up forward?

Maswanhise has played upfront a bit for the under 21s

Actually it’s held in their season. We chose to buy players from Africa because we wanted too and know the pitfalls. Not sure you would want to play in Afcon in our close season. When temperatures are well over the 100 mark may be tad unbearable

[Guest nathan.]

Only loss is Wilf

Not the awful Casadei- Yunus combo in CM again. 

 

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

Yep - they set off at 4am in wilfs hillman imp - needed to catch the 8am ferry from dover
