Did UEFA state why it was held in Turkey? No real chance of a Turkish team being in the final, it's mighty hot at this time of year and it would only really be semi-handy for an Italian team, of those likely to make it there. For everyone else it is a bad location.
It’s their ball and they will play where they want!
You only have to look at champs league final.
Who knows how they pick them or what it’s based on.
Growing the game ???

Think about what you're saying. It would make absolutely no difference, given that if we were in the Super Cup, it would be because we already won the Champion's League or the Europa Cup, thus completely overshadowing the Super Cup anyway. It is totally pointless.

Worse than that, it's almost like a wooden spoon event. 'Congrats on winning that major trophy - your punishment is that you have to travel to Turkey on a Wednesday night to compete for this rubbish one as well.'

I think it meant a lot to lampard because that would be a trophy win within 2 games of taking over

Probably a reward for winning the bid to host the CL final there next year.

Envelopes, big massive brown ones.

Nothings changed has it, were still super lightweight and think we can get away without 4 defenders and no holding midfielder against Burnley. Fine when weve got the ball, less so when 7 players are ahead of the ball and we lose it!

Have to get Torreira on for Guendoozi to give the side some defensive structure surely

Luiz exactly as expected fitting in fine, good when we have it, panicky when we dont lol

Finding myself agreeing with MK in asking why Guendouzi is starting ahead of Torreira...

MK?

Torreira should be one of the first names on the sheet, for some reason Doozi and Xhaka both seem to get picked ahead of him. Hopefully hes just easing Torreira back in having played in Copa America

Good win that, excellent goal from Bernard and a tidy start to the season. Nice to see Kean get a few minutes and look lively as well.

Should have been more than 1 - Richarlison should have had at least 1, had 2 golden opportunities with free headers!
