* RAN, Foden, Reijnders, Haaland & save one for an injury.
 
Donarumma
Khusanov Guehi Ake Ait-Nouri
Bernardo Rodri
Semenyo Cherki Doku
Haaland

Think Oreilly gets a rest as does Foden, although Pep prefers the running Foden does to Cherki so probably Foden again

Haaland & Foden need a break. If Nico G isn't fit, put Ait Nouri in at LB and O'Reilly next to Rodri. If Nunes isn't fit, Khus at RB, Alleyne at RCB, Guehi LCB.

That would be my preference but I would switch doku and semenyo. Marmoush and semenyo can interchange from the left side.

* edit only just heard nico g is still out, back to the players performance thread to see if we have anyone not injured, coming from injury, knackered or just a bit shit:-)

I think with how many players are out that we now know, I'd do a 4231 with RAN at LB bombing forward.

I also think Alleyne should probably get a rest, physically and mentally, as well as Ake (who is playing through pain injections).

Rodri is making silly mistakes as a lone 6, play him as a false CB so we have someone close to Donna as a pass master.

I would have rotated Haaland, but his recent comments make it sounds like he WANTS to play, but if not, I'd do Marmoush and Semenyo, one tucks into LS from LW position as RAN holds width.

We primarily build on the left, where Cherki as a false winger goes into midfield to find spaces.

This leaves us better off if we get countered, because most likely they will launch to our right side with Cherki out of position, but Khus is there for the 1v1.

Edit: I might do Foden instead of Doku, but pretty interchangeable to me.

Khusanov if there is a God. Guehi and Ake central then RAN or NOR at left back.

I agree. Khusanov very good at Arsenal at right back and was then fazed out of the team after injury

Probably rather NOR at left back at the minute, as I can't see him being played in midfield along with Rodri. Safer option than RAN defensively.

He is Zimbabwean-British born in Rugby (Warwickshire) and has played professional football in England and Spain as a defender. He is 32 years old and is currently Senior Referee Officer at The FA’s Centre of Refereeing Excellence.

It is anybody’s guess which team he supports but it is a sure bet it will not be us. As Wolverhampton is in Staffordshire the immediate neighbour to Warwickshire I fear the worse.

(I'm a Midlander and) I doubt you need to worry about that. Wolves is part of the Black Country and it's far more likely that he'll hate Black Country folk as much as everyone else does that isn't from the Black Country!

Although officially in the series, he's from Small Heath in Birmingham, Arthur Shelby in Peaky Blinders is about as solid an example of a typical Black Country person as you could get.

There's not much in common between the Black Country and a mixed-race son of an ex-pat family who played football for Stevenage dahn sahf and preaches diversity and inclusion in his bio!

I don't think he'd be any different to the vast majority of us who are lucky enough not to have any underlying health conditions when it comess to how we are affected.
The fact that he is a professional athlete would surely indicate that his return would be slightly delayed. He isn't being asked to struggle into work and sit at a desk for the day with a box of tissues and a few lemsips. He needs to be 110% to run about a pitch after fellow professional athletes.

Yeh very true, i just assumed (hoped) he'd be back by now. Crazy how him missing has become a massive problem. Nobody had that on their bingo card at the start of season.

With the Nico & Nunes news, and likelihood of Bernardo playing, my revised lineup will be

Khusanov Alleyne Guehi O'Reilly
Rodri Bernardo
Semenyo Cherki Doku
Marmoush

With the front 4 being fluid and us reverting to a back 3 in possession (Khus, Max, Guehi), so Nico O can move up.
