Ekitike has forced our hand and we need to think carefully about our CB options

Ali

Bradley
Virgil
Konate
Kerkez

Gravenberch
Wirtz
Szobo


Chiesa
Isak
Mo

Two big decisions; wirtz or Mac Allister and Gakpo vs Chiesa
 
Good team but I'd probs start Jones over Wirtz for this one. Agree that Chiesa should keep his place. Dunno what I'm on about.
 
I'd really like to see Chiesa get some playing time in this fixture. Think he deserves it, plus he's a dangerous presser with tons of energy. And we ease Isak in, Gapko on the wing, Chiesa through the middle.
 
The team Slot will pick:

Alisson

Szobo
Konate
Virg
Kerkez

Gravy
Macca
Wirtz

Gakpo
Isak
Salah

Subs:

Mama, Bradley, Gomez, Robbo, Endo, Jones, Chiesa, Danns, Rio

I'm 100% sure of it.
 
100% Wirtz and Bradley will start. Wirtz didn't play a minute vs Stn and Bradley just 30 mins to aid his reintegration.

---------------------------- Ali

Bradley ------- Konate -------- Virgil ------- Kerkez

--------------- Gravenberch
------------------------------------- Szobo

--------------------------- Wirtz

Salah -------------------- Isak ----------------- Gakpo

I'd start Chiesa at LW but Slot isn't going to esp. since Chiesa played 90 mins and Gakpo zero vs Stn.

Subs
Mama, Frim, Robbo, Gomez, Macca (will come on after 60 mins for who will depend), Jones, Rio (for Gakpo after 75 mins), Chiesa (for Isak after 60-70 mins), Bajcetic or Endo.
 
You are very lucky didn’t start this thread with your tardiness and risk the wrath of the jinxy gods @Brizzle

Becker
Bradley
Ibou
VVD
Kerkez
Dom
Mac
Gravy
Wirtz
Isak
Salah

I don’t think this is the time Chiesa starts back to back games for us for the first time.
 
Why Szobo at RB, Bradley only played 30 minutes yesterday?
It's tactical, I think. Szobo as an inverted right back allows us to overload the midfield.
Could be helpful against a Palace side that usually play in a 3-4-2-1 system.

Also, I just think Slot wants to find a way to play everyone
 
I think Chiesa will be more effective against a defence with less space than Gakpo. A back 5 will not leave many openings for the cut inside and shoot play.

We might also want to have Gakpo primed on the bench to play down the middle instead of Isak.

Let's hope we can get this sorted in the first half so that our reduced striker options don't bite us in the ass.

Hoping Sarr isn't back for Palace yet, as they look much less of a threat without him
 
Referee: Chris Kavanagh. Assistants: Dan Cook, Adam Nunn. Fourth official: Sam Allison. VAR: Matt Donohue. Assistant VAR: Constantine Hatzidakis
 
Ok - this will be first loss of the season, no point discussing the team etc. we are shit and playing shit can't see us beating them at their ground, they have not had any bad games so far.
 
No one has questioned the parentheses?

Not one single person?

Fucking amateur hour

Unfortunately I believe that you are right

Not for me - down the middle he tries hard but produces very little. If we bring Gakpo on, he needs to go left side and Chiesa to move into the middle IMO.
 
This is going to be a tough, uneasy watch although we'll edge a win somehow.

Oh & Salah will drop a stinker.

Oh STFU Moron. Palace have far better results on the road than at home.

Home :
1-1 Forest PL
1-0 Frederickstad - EC Playoffs
1-1 Millwall LC
0-0 Sunderland PL = Last match at home.

Daunting eh.

This is a very, very good bet. At about 60 mins, Wirtz will come off for Bradley, and Szobo will go into midfield.
