Brentford (H) - Sat 12th Nov, 12:30 | Pre-Match Thread

The most vital thing is 3 points for this one - how we get there doesn’t matter….

Personally I don’t think we’ve played that well recently ( probably since first half vs utd )

So, whilst I would love a convincing goal fest of a win, I’m not sure we will see one.

Certainly a few will have half an eye on the World Cup ( I don’t blame them for this btw - it’s natural ) so a disjointed performance is possible.

Still - I think we will have enough to get a positive result -

2-0

Not played that well recently? Did you watch the performance against Fulham?

Well, one thing is for certain, Haaland will be starting. So we'll score at least 3.

 

[shemnel]

full strength, full tilt, run your balls of for 90 mins lads, go into the break with a great win and leave the fans smiling through the inevitable dross of England's WC group games.

I personally would not like to see Akanji at RB, but with Gomez not being interested in defending, plus Walker's injury, I guess it's Akanji - Stones - Ake(?) - Cancelo

Alvarez will drop out, sadly for him. Big qu though, will Foden start? i don't think he will actually.

Ederson
Akanji - Stones - Ake - Cancelo
Rodri - Gundogan
De Bruyne - Silva - Grealish
Haaland

Bsnkes is the one who sent off Stones at Villa last time we had him in charge though he later sent off a Villa player also

Can see pep leaning towards no world cup players in saturday, not wanting lads off to qatar to get injured and also knowing they maybe wont put a 100% shift in

That would leave us with Ortega, Carson, Rico, Palmer, Gomez, JWE, Haaland, and Mahrez. What line up do propose with these 8?

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Fuck the world cup, we go full strength

 

[JewelZee]

It will probably never happen but nothing against Rodri or Gundo I would love to see a front 6 of
Bernardo
DeBruyne Grealish
Alvarez Haaland Foden

against one of these bottom 10 teams who will most likely park the bus just to see what would happen. I believe we would dismantle them. JMO.

Thats why i said leaning towards. So i can see 4/5 of those u mentioned starting

Tough game but a 2-0 win with this team: Ederson, Stones, Cancelo, Ake, Akanji, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish , Alvarez
