Kick off time 15:00 GMT.

In my eyes we only have 13 players to pick from.

------------Donnaruma
Nunes--Dias--Gvardiol--O'Reilly
---------------Gonzalez
--------Cherki-------Bernardo
Foden------Haaland-------Doku

Rodri when fit and Stones.

I imagine it'll be that same XI who played at Newcastle after watching that shite against Leverkusen.

Cannot allow a repeat of last season's slide, they have to pull themselves together here.
 
Probably will get out muscled and out worked in midfield again. Result depends if Haaland can put his scoring boots on

If i could Id drop Cherki from that line up but Im not sure who else could replace him.....thats a worry in itself
 
Play the same midget fanny merchant midfield from the Newcastle game and we will suffer
yup

our season now relies on Rodri getting fit and staying fit (not sure that will happen)

this was said repeatedly over the summer when various people were saying that our recruitment was great.....its been shit.

our midfield isnt fit for purpose - Reijnders is a disaster, Cherki hit and miss at best, we have no right back and a kid who is an attacking midfielder at left back and keeping out left back signing out of the team (deservedly so)

totally predictable and deserved
 
At least that would be more effort than Savinho can manage.
We should stop with this. The players confidence must be on the floor. There are a lot of fans who use him as a scapegoat but he's 21. Only just an adult. I know he's playing badly but I think there is a player in there.
 


He’s learned his lesson. 10 changes is too much, so you may get your wish…

Why should he even need to take a lesson? He is an extremely experienced manager. He will never learn because this type of arrogance and thinking out of the box is just part of his managerial make up.

No we played a weakened team and a much changed team and the result was the consequence. It says nothing about the signings. Cherki did well I thought when he came on but the game was gone by then.

it shows the squad that we have aint good enough.....very few if any of those players that started tonight are good enough to play regularly....
Trafford, Khusonov Nico G aside.....the rest just showed they aint at the level required.

You can argue Marmoush but he doesnt start cause he aint replacing Haaland. He doesnt have a place in this team...nothing to do with ability but where does he play if Haaland starts

We have no winners in that starting 11 (yes previously Stones and Ake were but not now) and no warriors at all

Reijnders is fucking awful with what appears to be a very weak mentality. Sav even worse - his mentality is so weak. Bobb aint a wide player. RAN is a shameful player at present.....he is an absolute disgrace at present.

As for Cherki - at present he is a luxury Im not sure we can afford. I dont doubt his technical ability BUT he needs a different team around him and we dont have that team at present. The game wasnt gone....he brought Haaland on at the same time....20 mins left - we have won league titles twice in much less time. - do you believe any of that starting 11 would be capable of that?????? I dont - nowhere fucking near.

That weakened team is the other half of our squad! that wasnt even a championship performance from them

Ake is done as said over summer, Stones aint far off either.

Not many of that starting 11 should start against any decent prem team...and certainly not away from home....Zero aggression, drive or fight, Zero leaders

Haalands reaction to the second goal and at the end of the game says it all...he was looking as if he had given up

This weakened team bullshit is an excuse....our squad is weak barring about a starting 11 and a couple of subs.

It doesn't show anything of the sort. You make 10 changes and select young prospects such as Rico, Khusanov, Savinho even Marmoush, the side will likely struggle.

Stones was our best player tonight. There was indeed no aggression or commitment in the 1st half but that's a consequence of fielding a much changed side, it's not intrinsic to the players.

Even our best eleven isn't good enough , not when it comes to a scrap and getting the best from each player no matter their talent and quality, who knows whether Rodri will ever reach his best or near his beat again and aside from a good keeper and a goal scorer we have very little to offer , when it comes to the all the qualities you need. If you are not up for a fight and lack the qualities you refer or in some cases in our team don't show it often enough it doesn't matter who you put out.

Leeds will fight and harass and bring us down to their " level " .

We should be playing them off the park but if you don't want it badly enough and play accordingly we will fall short again.

Yes Pep stuffed up but if the attitude isn't there no matter who we put out these results will become the norm.
