No marmoush. Surprising.

Fasting?

No Khusanov on the coach?

Fasting?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Looks like we’re playing about four false 9s.

Is that like a false 36?

 

[Gaz76]

The Plymouth fans will be pumped after seeing that team ffs

 

[discopop]

Whilst there is obviously a lot of quality that team is lacking any pace

Edit. Team

I see what you did there.

That's the best tyre reference so far today.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Almost, a false 6561.

 

[deegee33]

I'm guessing today is where the rubber meets the road!
Lose today and there's bound to be some fans going on a tirade for sure.

Best one so far. Salud !

I suppose thats O Reilly and Lewis both inverting around Gundogan.

Bernie and KdB in the half spaces.

Foden false 9.

Grealish and McAtee as wide wingers.

Well lets see, first gut instinct is that im not a fan of McAtee wide (if Nunes was RB he could go wide and let McAtee play closer to goal).

Fodens last false 9 stint wasnt the best, but he has in previous seasons done well there.

Ake and Reis is probably the slowest CB pair in our squad? Id play long balls over them if I was Plymouth. Especially with Gundogan at CDM.

Absolute disgrace of a line up

 

[journolud]

Been given time off to go and buy a washbag

 

[Tevez City]

Excited to see Vitor, Nico & James

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Ortega
Reis Ake
Lewis Gundogan O'Reilly
Bernardo Foden KDB Grealish
McAtee

Expect a lot of play around the edge of their box with that lineup.

 

[jimharri]

Fasting?

Fasting?

Don’t sportsmen have special dispensation to "ignore" fasting?

 

[journolud]

Absolute disgrace of a line up

Why?

 

[heslops barnet]

Absolute disgrace of a line up

Is that team official?

 

[ninjamonkey]

Not a fan of that to be honest. Good for Mcatee and O'Reilly to get another game though. For me we have to have one of savinho/doku on the pitch to actually make something happen.

Our vastly superior quality should shine through and make it not a problem but that's a lot of players operating in similar areas, predominately outside of the box and not being in goalscoring positions. Kdb to mcatee is the only consistent route to goal I see. Could be a frustrating watch if we dont get an opening goal early. Zero excuses for not progressing.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Don’t sportsmen have special dispensation to "ignore" fasting?

Most do it anyways
They’d play regardless of fasting or not thought so it’s probably tactical

 

[Gumzy97]

Thought we’d go with our strongest eleven since this is the only trophy we can win this season.

 

[Saddleworth2]

No legs, no width, no strikers, a brand new back 4 that hasn't played together. What could possibly go wrong.
