Who I pay special attention to this season:
Maxi Gomez.
Rabiot.
Pavard.
Ndombele.
Pavard seems to struggle, Rabiot's got issues. Other two doing very well.
Why would media be nice to him? He could become the biggest flop in football (which journos like), he's not treating them well, he's expensive, comes with huge expectations - and he's giving them material all the time.
Would it even be fair if we gave up on this match and went out with the B squad? It could possibly decide the outcome of the group. Should probably start with the strong lineup.
Would've liked to see Chumi on the list. Not that I have particularly high hopes for him, but could be tested whether or not he might be the backup needed during the spring.
