What are the quarantine rules these days?

Also what is the UKs vax status? Can everyone get one if they want?

Eight days apparently. So hopefully

Just saw them warming up, Those shirts are hilariously awful.

Will Godfrey or JPG even be back next week is the question?

Presumably yes. The isolation rules change next week so if they haven't got the virus themselves, they don't need to isolate.

UTFB!

Happy-ish with the lineup.

Townsend will support Coleman well and pace of Gray, DCL and Richarlison will be good to see.

Midfield is light so hopefully we work hard there and disappointed not to see Mina instead of Holgate.

just saw the line-up
4-4-2?

He's being isolated for Covid mate he's still fit otherwise

Yes I know mate, but there comes a point after 2 years of absolutely nothing where you realise he’s absolutely jinxed and a waste of a wage.

Showing your age now.

Nearly all grey. Not pulled all my hair out yet. Still early in the season though.

 

[Ufotone]

You mean a CL winning side that has been in the CL for years can attract better players and have more funds to spend? Shocked over here

That's one way of looking at it. But it's not like we haven't spent an insignificant sum either over the last few years. And that's the squad depth we have, either through injury, misfortune (cough), or players brought really not being up to it.

He's not though, again if we're playing this midfield two all season we're pretty much set at 9th at best in the league. So he's extremely important and crucially healthy right now.
