De Jong and Messi better stay 3 meters away from the referee and anybody on the Valladolid team, cause you just know the referee (whoever he is) will be itching to give them that yellow for the smallest of foul/complaining.

De Boer the supid man should have rested him against cyprus

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Griezi make us happy

 

[behindbrowneyes]

Araujo went from best defender of the team to being benched by Lenglet and Mingueza. Crazy, but I can't really blame Koeman as this formation worked really well.

 

[Hardy]

also Arajuo is definitely not playing against Real and cup final. glad to know we're just waiting the next fucks up bumglet will do before Arajuo comeback in the starting lineup.

 

[serghei]

Bullshit line-up. Should have rested some players here. Better score some goals in the first 30 mins, maybe he'll make early subs hopefully.

 

[JamDav1982]

Araujo at left of a three would be awful.

Not good enough on ball to be picked ahead of Lenglet for that position even accounting for wrong foot.

Correct line up to make sure the team is still functioning before Real game and has to be trust put in likes of Messi/FDJ not to get booked.

I'd have definitely rested De Jong and Messi. If the rest of the squad can't fill in and do a job at home to Valladolid then we don't deserve to win the league.

They surely can. But Koeman is starting to be scared now that we're in with a shot at the title.

Messi has been in good form and dont need him going into Real game off back of no game in three weeks.

Whole team needs to show still ticking.

Messi is fine. De Jong and Pedri should've been rested.

Surely 30 minutes would be more sensible seeing as he's one booking away from a Yellow. Just doesn't seem worth the risk to me.

 

[Porque]

Araujo will sub on after 30 minutes versus Real Madrid, just before Mingueza gets sent off- but just after Vinicius has had the fear kicked into him.

It would have been a good opportunity to rest de Jong for Araujo. If we can't build up from the back without de Jong against Valladolid, then we're pretty woeful.
