7 | Omar Marmoush - 2025/26

[Blue_Lightsaber]

He has. Savinho has featured in 6 more matches than Marmoush this season & Marmoush has only missed the last 2 games because of AFCON.

Marmoush was also out for like 2.5 months with his knee injury that he got on international duty on the first international break!

 

[Mayor West]

Lol, Semen yo not on the same planet as Marmoush.

Semenyo has proven himself a top quality premier league player, marmoush has not, or is that what you meant

 

[supercity88]

Firstly, why change what is becoming a very strong 'winning' system and secondly, if you do cgange it, who are you going to drop to shoehorn Marmoush into the team?

Doku? Cherki? Foden?

(Please don't say 'rotate', that's just nonsense)

Reijnders.

And rotation isn't nonsense but signing Delap to replace Haaland would have been.

I also don't think this current system is without its issues. Yes we are winning games and hopefully it becomes more effective but we have long periods across the 90mins where we look completely overrun.

Reijnders isn't a starter

Haaland
Doku Foden Cherki
Gonzalez Bernado (Rodri eventually)

So already Reijnders is currently not in the best starting 11. He starts now coz Doku isn't available.

On current form with everyone healthy, he'd be coming off the bench

 

[BringBackSwales]

Semenyo isn’t as good as Doku, Marmoush, Cheki or Savinho. Unless Pep lets Savinho go I can’t see us wasting money on Semenyo.

Semenyo isn’t as good as Savinho? Do you mean that?

 

[Craig]

Absolutely lethal finisher. Wish we’d see him more often. Pep needs to let him play out wide, if it’s between him and Haaland up top then he’ll never get a chance

Not as good as Jezza though and seems to struggle on the right. If Semenyo signs it looks like the writing is on the wall for him here.

Not since Doku got injured.

I think we are seeing a team develop where we have 15 or 16 starters depending on home or away, top opponent or low block, etc, etc…

We already watch 3 different formations in the game with the First XI, but then the subs often create another one…or two!!

Strings to the bow and all that, given we have at least 5 midfield starters!
