AFCON 25

Post by giveusaB » Wed Apr 16, 2025 5:06 pm

AFCON tournament runs from December 21st to January 18th so unavailable if selected we would lose Foster,Hannibal & Benson over that period.Only realised this due to an article saying how Salah will be a big miss for Liverpool over the Christmas period.

IF we were in the Prem, a winter break would cover a lot of that, no big shakes.

And the bigger problem may be being in the Premier League and 2 out of those 3 being first team regulars anyway.

Just out of curiosity which two do you see as being first team regulars( should promotion be achieved) since none of them have been regular first team members in a lower league?

Other way round (probably badly worded). I think we’ll have problems bigger than AFCON if Foster and Benson are first team regulars because they aren’t good enough for the Premier League.
