I can't believe you've dropped Walker for Click to edit!

See people moaning about shirt numbers have put me off my game ;-)

There you go tradional 1-11 with correct numbers for positions

Nah - wingers on the wrong side and full backs on the wrong side.

I'm thinking Ian Brightwell (2) on the right, Andy Hinchcliffe (3) on the left, Rick Holden (11) on the left and David White (7) on the right.

Anyone thinking Pep will put Grealish straight back in for Doku, feels like a very Pep thing to do

Think he might bring him straight back in place of Foden, then give Phil a note to read on the bench that says if you want to play on my team, never ever stop tracking back when the other team are on the break

I think that would be very harsh, Phil needs a run of games and I think he's been great so far this season

Grealish will come back in on the LW and Doku will move to the RW, Doku has only been on the left because Grealish has been injured which everyone seems to have completely forgotten. Phil more central.

Doubt Jack will start on Saturday though as he won’t be match fit.

Harsh on Phil, I must have missed something there.

I doubt it, he won't be match fit for a start plus even though he will be over the injury it's very soon to throw him straight back in, perhaps Newcastle

Next 5 matches til Intl break are
Forest H, NUFC A (EFL), Wolves A, Leipzig A, Arsenal A.

Given our tight squad I hope we beat Forest and Wolves.
Wouldn't shed a tear going out in the cup and draw Leipzig and Arsenal.

The more the better, but this would be my prios, then win some time to be in a better place after the break, hopefully.

Want a win at Arsenal, that would shut up some of their tiresome fanbase. Saying that a draw would not be the worst result.

Just to clarify I think Phil’s been great this season as well but in the second half v Red Star they were on the attack and he just stopped running. Walker and a couple of the other defenders went mad at him and I remember thinking Pep will not like that!

That was very strange to see from Foden, but it looked to me like he was just ran out of gas and realised he wasn’t getting anywhere near the Red Star player. In mitigation he had been kicked a couple of times and may still have been carrying an injury. I’m sure Pep wasn’t impressed though.

I clocked it and it's happened before. Dias and Walker gave him a right bollocking.
