3 options for the back 4. He could pair walker and gvardiol at cb to get his most senior centre half partnership and push the youngsters out wide so we see from right to left, Lewis, walker, gvardiol, Simpson-pusey. probably the most unlikely but wouldn't rule it out.

2nd option is Lewis, walker, Simpson-Pusey, gvardiol. This way sees players move the least.

The last option and my preferred one would be walker, Simpson-pusey, gvardiol, Lewis. This keeps Simpson-pusey in his most comfortable position and flanks him with our most senior defenders. Lewis isn't going to be in his position most of the game anyway and with him left back, Nunes on the left wing is by far the most likely of our advanced players to be able to get back in and cover the gaping holes left.

This makes the most sense to me. We shall find out soon enough. Either way it's a horror show waiting to happen.
 
I will say one positive thing - I know Pep's hand has been somewhat forced, but Simpson-Pusey is 100% in there on merit.

Pep would find a way around playing him if he thought he genuinely wasn't good enough - he'd play Kovacic or Gundo at CB if he had to, and we know he would because we've seen him do that kind of thing before.
This lads a really good player with big condones and loads of potential.

Back him.
 
No wonder pep is taking his time to decide his future. Can you blame him? We should be able to attract the best instead we scramble around looking for mid table players hoping pep can do something. I’m not on about superstars either but quality.
He's not as blameless as you're making him out to be.

There's zero chance Txiki doesn't ask for approval to sign certain players with Pep before doing so. Not to mention the whole Cole Palmer thing.
 
Fuck it really hits home the lack of recruitment over the last few seasons. That team will do well to come away with anything tonight.

Fallen so far from the top quality players we used to have.
Fuck it man I’m waiting for the gf to come out of the shops so let’s kill a few mins and go thru em ……..

Haaland - world’s best striker
Gvardiol - most sought after defender in Europe
Nunes £50m
Ederson - one of the worlds top keepers
Walker - one of Europe’s best right backs
Foden - walks into any other team in Europe
Savinho - one of the hottest talents in Europe
Kovacic - good solid experienced water carrier that every team needs

In my book that’s a pretty good advert for our recruitment
