Ha. I did too until last night. Those small pitches always seem to take some time to figure out.

No we were awful yesterday. In each of the draws we had in the last month we had period's of really good play and dominance. We couldn't claim that to be the case against Villa.

We dominated for 6 minutes after the restart

Kovacic to allow Rodri more freedom going forward, Jack back in the 11 for control, Johnny Stones dropping into midfield from the RB position. Gvardiol in his natural position, and Ake in for defensive security. I genuinely think this team cruises past Luton.

I think you're absolutely right, that team would cruise past Luton. Unfortunately I don't think it's the one Pep will play.

I like most of the lineups I've seen put forward on this thread. It seems like many of us are wishing for a return to the team being fielded consisting of mainly the players who actually won the treble, with the new players being eased in one at a time.

That's certainly what I'd like to see. It'll calm the team down and allow the players to do what they know and start getting their confidence back.

However I don't expect that to happen. I expect to see Walker and Alvarez starting again (they shouldn't) and probably Doku if he's fit (it should be Jack), because Pep is stubborn as fuck and apparently determined to demonstrate that he has no belief in the saying that the definition of madness is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result.

I really hope I'm wrong though.

I'm going to be ultra positive. Not only will we win this game, but the resultant victory will reignite our league campaign.
