With squads yet to be announced and finalized I'm wondering how many LUFC players will be actually going to Qatar?
And my second question is for those that wont be over there what are LUFC planning to keep the remaining players fit & occupied?
"If" 10 of our first team squad are away how can Jesse develop his style show the dressing room his overall tactics in given situations? (sorry that's 3 questions)
Yes on the positive we should get everyone off the treatment table and have a full squad heading into Jan but "if" 10 players or so are away how do they know what the guys have practiced at TA?
I really hope we hit the ground running in these 8 league games prior to WC starting, "if" we could somehow manage 10-11 points from this batch i think alot of pressure will be off our players / manager.
Villa
Palace
Arsenal
Leicester
Fulham
Liverpool
Bournemouth
& Spurs
I think 10-11 points is very achievable from that list of fixtures
And play city our first game back after the WC at ER could be the best time to actually get them.
So it seems we will get £468k from FIFA for our players going which may increase if their countries progress from group stages.
If only Llorente, Rodrigo and Klitch went we may then have enough money to buy a L2 striker
James also confirmed for Wales
Llorente and Rodrigo not going too
Klich and Koch are NOT going.
Just the Spanish pair left to find out their fate.
Imagine Phillips -v- Adams in a midfield battle when US play Engerland! Would be interesting to say the least!
Adams/Aarondsen confirmed today - no shock.
I'm not counting James as he isn't ours this year TBH. Tyler Roberts not in the squad though
Adams and Brendan are nailed on for the US. Cannot see Spain choosing Llorente of Rodrigo. James should make Wales and Klitch Poland
that's 1 of the probable 4 then
Rasmus makes the Denmark squad!
£9k per day for every player taking part!
45 days to go
mind you mightn't bother me rectum watching the opening game
Move aside Douglas Bader with your three testicles - it's time for a new flyboy hero on this MB.
Guy Gibson and his spambusters equipped with their bump bombs
Bump
Yes Soopa, sort of conflicting emotions
Feel like a traitor but kind of want USA to do well now 😁
Well I will be watchin all the LUFC players play!
am sure I saw a official post that what players left behind are going to 🇺🇸 todo a tour summer camp thing
Sinister-Terror wont be there as Columbia have not qualified. Llorente too may not feature as Koch/Cooper will be our pairing before the WC.
So only 4 players going.
Am sure we will do a "preseason" tour to somewhere like San Francisco after the players have had a few days off then a few days training.
No Chance of 10 being out there.....
Sinisterra
Aarondsen
Adams
Llorente
Kristensen
Klich
James & Roberts (technically ours, but not in our squad)
Very, very outside bets
Struijk, Bamford, Koch, Rodrigo, Meslier
Internationals who didn't qualify
Dallas, Cooper, Gnonto
