Crvena Zvezda (H) - Tue 19th Sept, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

Red Star have a rich European heritage that we must respect. They'll be after our blood tonight to get off to a good start - we are the biggest scalp in European football in 2023. I'd take 1-1 right now.

Who do you suggest.
The youngsters are just after finishing their match.

I wouldnt mind sitting there if there a few spares

 

[Gumzy97]

When is Kalvin going to get to play? Feels like Pep doesn’t trust him.

You're more positive than you usually are today.

3 at the back with Gomez on the wing to match them for formation?

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Nice team but surprised Rodri starts to be honest. Squad depth a lot weaker than previous seasons though isn’t it?

We have 4 top players injured, we aren't weaker.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Would be weird to play gomez at left back again when it's become clear he isn't a defender and never will be, at least not to our level, and even moreso when you've got a couple of good defensive options on yhe bench and hardly any attacking ones. Could we see Nunes at left back and gomez ahead of him? Makes more sense to me.

Gomez will be the 'left back' but basically play as a left winger, as Walker has done on the right all season. Something like:

Ederson
Walker Dias Ake
Nunes Rodri
Bernardo Alvarez Foden Gomez
Haaland

I'm not particularly suggesting anyone, I was just pointing out to the poster I replied to that there was more than one empty space.

"Feels"?

He clearly doesn't.

Should have had a fan contest for the empty spots.

Whoever can beat Walker in a half marathon.
