Surprised by the team. You'd think we would find a way to rest Walker, Vertonghen and Townsend, who are likely to start on Sunday. Perhaps even more surprised by the bench though. Would have liked to see the kids there. If you are ever going to give some of them the chance, this is the ideal opportunity. I really don't see the point in filling the bench with first-teamers. Surely AVB isn't actually worried we will struggle to go through?
AVB remembers Inter last year. He went 4-4-2 thinking all we need is one goal...went to ET and we were too tired for Fulham and cost us big time.
