Benrahma? Not even sub?
Benrahma and Antonio not even subs …must be mistake.
Happy New year to Hugh Sean Dave and all at Claret and Hugh and all the readers
I know that Coufal has really impressed since he signed but 383 votes out of 355? Nailed on to score the winner for us with stats like that 😉
I like the selection but we are dreaming in colour.
