Behind closed doors game against Stoke
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
Guess the question will be answered for a few of the boys today then. What's the weather like up there?
If Ronaldo doesn't start I'm done with this club.
Is Donny starting this one at least?
Who hasn't gone away on international duty?
Quite a lot of players must be away on international duty - perhaps the likes of Phil Jones, Mata and VDB will start
3-1
Lindelof with his second of the game.

Give vdB a go in midfield. His passing and ball retention was always good and I hear he's now basically built like a powerlifter with opponents bouncing off him as he advances the ball. Give Swole Donny a chance.
Donny (C) for his last minutes of the season until a substitute appearance in injury time in the FA cup semi final
Who scored the first 2?
1-0. Nice finish from Jones.
Lindelof.
Donny on the bench.
Ole going with Matic and the cupboard cutout of Ronaldo in Midfield.

4-1 now Sancho on the counter with a decent finish
Donny might get a run out as a ball boy if he’s lucky, with all the top ball boys off on international duty..
Stop summing guys
So the following guys are away with national teams:
GK - de Gea
Defence - Shaw, Maguire, Varane, Bailly, Lindelof
Midfield - Pogba, Bruno, Lingard
Attack - Sancho, Martial, Ronaldo
Based on that, we may play something like that:
Henderson
Dalot
Jones
Mengi
Bissaka
Fred
Matic
Hannibal
VDB
Mata
Cavani
Not many other options left, Heaton on the bench but who else? Shoretire and Hugill maybe, that’s it, others are away or injured

4-2 Peter Crouch nods home a header from a precise cross from Etherington.
He would if they could find the right position for him
1-0 stoke brown og 90
Ah yes it's the Burnley goalreporting all over again
The multi ball system might take his dream away.
Can't believe Donny was making a great run on the wing and Ole tripped him up, he's just a bully.
Greenwood?
Fred hasn’t gone with Brazil?
You are right. He is so good it felt he was also away with England
So that leaves Henderson (if he's fit), Heaton, Grant, Dalot, AWB, Jones, Matic, Fred, Donny, Mata, Greenwood & Cavani as I presume Rashford, McTominay and Telles are still unavailable.
That leaves us a little short for the friendly, so I guess some youth players like Mengi and Elanga (if he's back from injury) will get some minutes.

Cupboard? I assume you meant cardboard cutout, but I like the idea of Ronaldo as a piece of furniture.
Yellow card 34’

Is Berahino playing?
Mengi and Jones are the only CBs we have for this game - so Mengi must play entire game, not just “get some minutes”
Dalot 5 - 2
Crouch with a header from a Delap throw in his own half, hits the bar.
Wenger is fuming.

I've got a mate who works at the Megastore who told me they're playing this one under Bubble Football rules. Into the third half now. Next goal wins.
Jumpers for goalposts?
Jones is down injured after careeering into the advertising hoardings, seemingly for no reason as the ball was out of play at the other end of the pitch. Ed preparing a new contract as we speak
Cantona 6-2
Heard Ronaldo requested it to get his cold windy night in Stoke badge
Neves starting the third half.
