He can actually cross the ball every now and then. Can't say the same about Almirón. Murphy's done more in his appearances off the bench than Almirón has done in his starts recently.

 

 

 

I'm interested to see what he does if he starts, I like Murphy, but I'm concerned he'll revert to type if he starts. Suspect 10-20 minute bursts might suit him.

My guess based on nowt:

 

                       Pope

 

Trippier   Schar      Botman     Targett

 

               Bruno      Longstaff 

 

Murphy          Gordon               Maxi

 

                         Isak

Left-field suggestion (literally), switch Trippier & Almiron over to the left, get Manquillo and Maxi on the right, Gordon behind Isak.

I have a feeling the surprises will be lascelles keeping his place 

 

Wilson and Isak both staring 

 

all based on a hunch

Hadn’t even considered Lascelles, definitely a selection headache for Eddie. Lascelles’ attitude and training has been praised all season then he comes in and doesn’t put a foot wrong - squad management says he keeps his place?

Lascelles is a competent box defender, useful when sitting deep as seen in his 2 league appearances at Anfield and the Etihad. When the onus is on us to attack teams I'd much rather we have Schär bringing the ball out as opposed to Lascelles.

You could be right but it would be a shame to Pidgeon hole him into that without giving him a chance to prove otherwise. I’d like us to balance the amount of support / chances players get as some get way too much and some don’t get enough.  
 

for me - start isak, target and Murphy

with the BBC making an arse of itself, does this mean we won't get to hear Ando on the commentary shouting at Murphy when he fails miserably at trying to chip a shot in?

Targett behind Maxi for me today. We can’t risk Traore roasting Burn as it seems to be a mental think for him. 
 

I don’t think Almiron deserves to start but there isn’t really an alternative. 
 

Just please start Isak

Howe has got difficult decisions to make. Schar should come straight back in but does he play both Wilson and Isak (slightly off Wilson), does he rest Almiron, does he play Bruno slightly deeper(as neither Longstaff or Willock are as strong on the ball as Jo or Bruno). 
 

Personally, I’d give Isak and Wilson a go and if we go that way, Howe has to balance how he sets up. I’d rest Almiron for Gordon and if Willock is fit, is he the safer option to ASM? 
 

Going to be a difficult game.

I don't see Targett starting

 

He's played 5 mins of football on his return, Howe hasn't shown that he'll chuck players in like that
