Deserves at least some time on the left and I still think Gordon’s skillset is more suited to the right than Barnes’ is. Gordon has been shite on the right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted December 10, 2025 Share Posted December 10, 2025 Hope its Barnes left/Gordon right. At least to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnbull2000 Posted December 10, 2025 Share Posted December 10, 2025 Surprised at that line up. Was expecting Howe to mix and match again with the mackems in mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted December 10, 2025 Share Posted December 10, 2025 Barnes will be right wing. Gordon is horrific RW, so it serves no point. At least Barnes can still kick a ball when he plays there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wissa will get 20 mins then start against the mackems but Im not sure thats wise given hes coming back from injury and theyll probably try and hack him to death Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted December 10, 2025 Share Posted December 10, 2025 It’s a first 11 that should be competitive. Strong options from the bench. Be great if Wissa gets 20/30 mins ahead of the derby. Expecting a good showing from Tonali. Aside from Bruno, that midfield should be fresh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His movement off the ball is just way better than Gordon's. It's obviously not ideal but between the two of them he's much better suited to play on the right if you're going to play both.

He was good against Arsenal and once as a sub, from memory. Then looked naff the other few times. Almost like he didn’t want to play there.

Hell no. I nearly always want English teams to get beat in Europe. When I dont want them to get beat its at least mild indifference and thats only if its someone like Ipswich or Southampton. I dont want anyone being successful if its not us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
