    is it true that biton missed the game on Saturday because he was fasting as part of Ramadan, and that he could miss games due to this. heard it for an mate whos not a tim so not sure what to believe. if it is true its bad news, I know its his beliefs etc, but for the wages hes own should we expect him to play whenever needed

    Your mate is talking pure *. Biton never featured because his work permit hasn't been granted yet.

    Jews don't do Ramadan. That's a Muslim thing.

    That seems highly unlikely considering Ramadan finished in August and Biton is Jewish :smiley-laughing002:

    He wasn't able to play against Hearts because of a visa issue. It happened to be Yom Kippur as well, but that's just a one day thing so it won't affect him in the long run.

    He's getting mixed up with Yom Kapur - a Jewish fasting holiday that began on Friday 13th.

    I mentioned in the match thread early on in the pages (page 1) that it was reported Biton would be observing it :50:

    But aye, think there were still WP issues as well.

    Brown Mulgrew
    Samaras Commons Boerrigter
    Stokes​

    Not a fan of Chico in midfield but seeing as Ledley is out, it has to be this, surely? Strongest team we could have out IMO.

    What about a Juventus-style 3-5-2?

    Forster
    Lustig Ambrose Virgil
    Mulgrew
    Brown Commons
    Matthews..........Boerrigter
    Pukki Samaras​

    I think that would really test Milan and help keep Balotelli quiet.

    Milan don't really play with wingers & they're probably weakest at full-back with De Sciglio & Abate out, hence the suggestion above.

    Stokes & Pukki played really well together
    so it would be nice if they both would start tonight

    Problem is we're not going to be playing a 442. Neither Stokes or Pukki is a natural winger and were not going to drop Sammy for a CL game.

    So one of them two would have to play on the other wing and Derk is more natural there. If anyone's playing behind the striker it's going to be Commons.

    As you say they looked promising but I think Pukki will be sacrificed as he's just arrived.

    Has anyone won anything big with 3 bottom
    i like though the idea of Pukki starting

    Any chance that Pukki,Stokes & Samaras would start
    together but then again Commons should start obviously too

    what the formation would be with Commons,Stokes,Pukki and Samaras?
