O’Reilly should probably be played at left-back. He’s going to be needed there again during AFCON, so better that he gain more experience now.
Replace the pitch ??
Perhaps. A lot of suggestions about the lineup next weekend but so far none, to my eyes, offer a realistic solution. I am beginning to think we really are fucked. Still I am going for a win because anything less than a share of the points seems unbearable.O’Reilly should probably be played at left-back.

Will be the last fixture for some players, who may leave thereafter, if not before, but I somehow don’t think there will be time nor inclination for any emotional farewells.Perhaps.

Maybe. Or give the players different boots? Related point was that so many players slipping and falling over it seemed yesterday.Replace the pitch ??
Alt Nouri out for 3 weeks---------------Haaland
Ait-Nouri Foden Cherki Bobb
-----------Rodri Reijnders
-------Gvardiol Dias Stones
---------------Trafford
I'd go back to the box midfield with Foden (or Cherki) coming in from the Left and Ait-Nouri effectively playing left wing like how Gvardiol used to.
O'Reilly (or even Gvardiol, with Ake or Khusa at CB), if Ait-Nouri isn't fit.
So he assisted one goal? „ attracting players“Watching Grealish today. He shows more defences qualities than any wingers we have and he has assisted 2 goals. One with a great cross the other by attracting players to him to free up his fullback for a strike on goal. With 8ins to go he hasn't lost the ball once.
And Jack was the man of the match.So he assisted one goal? „ attracting players“
I genuinely hope we start like this.
Idc
Nunes - Stones - Khusanov - A.N/ Ake
Reijnders - González
Foden - Marmoush - Doku
Haaland.
Marmoush is wasted out wide and Cherki needs some time I guess and is better as an impact player currently. Nunes has to start. We started winning when playing 2 attacking fullbacks like every other club does but somehow reverted to our inverted bullshit where our wingers are expected to outdribble 3-4 players 90% of the game while being in absolute isolation.
edit: never mind I now understand what you meant with attracting players
Are we that bad?Time to move on from Jack. He ain’t coming back.
when we play Doku .. yesAre we that bad?
Point to prove and all that.Watching Grealish today. He shows more defences qualities than any wingers we have and he has assisted 2 goals. One with a great cross the other by attracting players to him to free up his fullback for a strike on goal. With 8mins to go he hasn't lost the ball once.
Didn't miss last season but admittedly am trying to forget it. Especially the Derby's and Palace at Wembley. CTIDDid you miss last season ?
Trafford should be no where near the starting 11, weak hand for the first goal maybe slightly unsighted the second goal complete brain fart from him, play it wide to the full back not to a player straight i front of goal, who has an opposition player right up his arseTrafford
Nunes Stones Gvardiol Ake
Gonzalez
Bernardo Foden
Bobb Haaland Marmoush
