-----------------------Donnarumma--------------------
Nunes------Khusanov---------Dias------Gvardiol
-------------Nico G------Rodri-----B.Silva-------------
---Foden----------------Haaland----------Marmoush


Stones costing us a goal a game so doesnt deserve to start.

Going for a more solid left side, if Josko still out then put Ake there.

Then a middle 3 that get stuck in and win duels. Reijnders currently offers nothing defensively and after back to back anonymous displays, doesn't deserve to start. Think this game is won in the middle and we can't afford passengers in there.

Foden back in. Keep Marmoush for his goal threat and pressing.

With the exception of Dias, I wouldn’t mind this team. On present form, he’s our worst centre back.

So are we throwing him in against Napoli or Arsenal? The big games come fast. Arguably, every game is a big game based on our start.

I’d chuck him in against United, realistically they’ll try and pepper us from afar, so he’s perfect. Trafford against Napoli, and then Donna back in for Arsenal.

He’s the captain of his national side and a leader at PSG. I’m sure a debut against United would be relished by the man. Can’t imagine much scares the big lad.

He’s an expert pen saver, a necessity v the troglodytes

He’s from the Naples area , so a the game v than will be the biggie for him
 
Given we have no fit right-wingers, I'd seriously consider three at the back with a strong central midfield. Let the wingbacks stretch the pitch and keep Foden and Reijnders near Haaland where possible

For whatever reason, we've struggled against teams playing 3-4-3 or variations thereof. Maybe going with a similar shape would help?

GK | Donnarumma

RCB | Khusanov
CB | Stones
LCB | Gvardiol

RWB | Nunes
CM | Gonzalez
DMC | Rodri
CM | Reijnders
LWB | Aït-Nouri

AMC | Foden

ST | Haaland

I’d start Trafford and let Donnarumma watch how we play from the bench.

I’d start Donnarumma as he’s Italian (mentality), a big game player and the best keeper in the world.

I’m in at least 2 minds.

Probably go with my second mind.

I'd go with Trafford against the rags, he's done alright. He made a few great saves on Saturday...the one he scooped away was top class!

Let Donnarumma get introduced before the game and get everyone pumped up, then sit and watch and be ready for Napoli.

Dias has cost us both wins not stones, his lack of pace and at times concentration

Stones and Khush/josko
or a back 3
Stone-Khush-Josko
 
Pep needs to stop respecting them. tell the players to prepare like it would be a City-Burnley game. w went to their ground few months ago and did not raise a hand on them we were content with 0-0. while likes of Burnley visited them last week and had a real go vs them. only lost with 9th min penalty and good goal taken away with VAR from them. likes of Fulham, Brentford, Bournemouth pisses in their face at old toilet.

they are extreme levels below the rag team Pep beat in CL finals two times 15 years ago. also much worse than they were under van Gaal, Mourinho even Ole at the wheel.

what the fuck we are doing in FA cup final vs them, how we lost last season at home and drew away to them. this needs to stop. its like that Sporting loss vs Amorim set off something in Pep and now worried about him. nobody else worried about Amorim. not even Grimsby.

Or just play a truly world class keeper in a derby where we really need need 3 points.

I’d be tempted to fuck off the full backs entirely:

——————Donnarumma—————-
—-Khusanov—Stones—Gvardiol—-
———--—-Rodri—-Gonzalez————
Bobb-Foden—Reijnders-Savinho/Doku/RAN
———————-Haaland—————-

Kick off time 16:30 (BST).

I hope they can work out what is happening in the next 2 weeks, the balance is just completely off.

If we lose to this lot then we have got problems.

Lewis in my opinion is to erratic lose the ball a lot.Nunes looks like his confidence is shot and Oscar Bobb just runs straight at players and looks easy to disposses.All three are slight this side of the pitch is a massive problem.
 
Donnarumma

Khushanov - Boulders - Ake - Josko
Rodders - Bernado
Foden - Reindeers - Marmoush
Viking

Solid, Josko the one to push up alongside Rodders freeing Bernado
 
This will be our 3rd of 4 league defeats in a row. 3 points from 5 games, when was the last time we did that?

Only question is whether we are countered early on a couple of times and go 2-0 down then spend the rest of the game struggling to attack.

Or we look decent for an hour and fail to take a couple of clear cut chances, before our legs go and a bad error costs us the game late on.
 
Changed my mind now it only took a couple of days but these fuckers are absolutely trash if we can't beat these then we may as well call the season a day now. They've lost quite a bit of speed in attack apart from Diallo will be better for us. The midfield and defence are absolutely shite, couple of early goals and we could give them an absolute thumping.
