      Kind of in the same position, not scared of going without haaland? I have maddison instead of Bruno but wondering to swop out rash for grealish or even crazier eze or Olli, but not sure if I dare

        Actually just changed my mind and brought in Haaland+Mahrez for Toney+Bruno. Will reassess Rashford in GW33. Rash for Grealish sounds good to me

      Missed 2 days training in the week but Klopp was fairly optimistic about him being back in training on Friday & that gives him decent time to prepare for Mon night.

          It wasn't a tone,

          It was an honest question, Chilwell is partly priced for attacking returns.

          I just think it's pretty straight forward to play him.
