Shak Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 As a couple have mentioned, would be very tempted to start Gordon central with Joelinton on the left and Miggy out right. Longstaff, Bruno and Willock in midfield. Feels like if Wilson starts we don't really have great options to change it up off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Just noticed that as well as Manquillo and Ritchie we didn't include Krafth or Gillespie in the CL squad. This because we had to name Livramento and Hall in the A list (as we signed them rather than academy players) while in the PL we can include them as U21 so don't count towards the 25.

Stottie Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I thought they fully deserved their halftime lead at SJP but were lucky to hang on to win the match. They sat on the lead and let us hit the bar twice on top of the Wilson chance. fwiw, the weather forecast I saw for tomorrow in Dortmund said dry. I think that'll suit us better than the rain in the home fixture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Mentioned it in the Joelinton thread but forgot how good defensively having big Joe in one of those wide positions can be. If Willock is fit to start, i'd be tempted to go with something like this. -----------------Pope------------------- Tino-----Lascelles-----Schar------Trippier -------------------Bruno----------------- ---------Longstaff------Willock---------- Almiron/Gordon------------------Joelinton ----------------Wilson/Gordon---------- Gives us atleast one fresh player to bring on 2nd half in Wilson, Gordon or Almiron. Then Joelinton can do his rotation with Willock that we know works so well and would make us defensively sound but also a threat on the counter.

oldtype Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Apologize for being negative, but I'm more or less ready to throw the Champions League at this point. We're very unlikely to progress anyway with two out of three remaining games being away and it's getting to the point where we can barely field an XI.

Jonas Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Cant see anything beyond a draw at max, which will do mind - keeps the dream alive and Europa in hand. Though woudln't be surprised if this group of players and staff could pull something out of the hat. Just wish we could give a fair account of ourselves with only the sort of injuries you'd reasonably expect and not a full blown crisis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I've been back and forth and I reckon this is the way to go: Pope Trippier Lascelles Schar Tino Bruno Longstaff Willock Miggy Joelinton Gordon I think IF Livramento works at left back, it could actually be an upgrade on Burn. I don't like the idea of moving Trippier from right back for any length of time. He's pretty much been player of the season in that position. I'd also give Wilson a rest from starting this. The team above is a solid base. We can bring Wilson on to nick the game in the second half. It also keeps Wilson fresher for Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives Gordon a little less running to do up top as well, he’s looked knackered the last couple of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 We can absolutely win this, but given the state of play in the group and how tough they are to beat on their own patch it's important we don't lose more than anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
