Pre Match FAC Barnsley (H) - Monday 12th January

Forums Unread posts
We play on Monday. The game after is on Saturday. We can afford to risk a few first teamers for this one.

I'd say go with a mixed team.

Mamardash

Ramsey
Ibou
Gomez
Robbo

Jones
Nyoni
Macca

Chiesa
Gakpo
Ngumoha

Sub
 
I love this new injury word that has entered our vocabulary in the last week or so

I've never seen it used as a football injury reason before - but I imagine "tired" or "fatigue" were used in its place. Those who pump iron will be familiar with a good bit of DOMS, usually the cause of not being able to walk down a set of stairs the day after leg day

Yeah Tuesday was my first gym day after Christmas and on Wednesday morning I could barely put shampoo on my hair
 
We are going to need Gomez at RB on and off for a while. I would not risk him. I would play VVD, as he is the most durable of our 3 senior CBs. Him and a kid or Robbo next to him.
 
In recent weeks the bench has included Mamardashvila, Ramsay, Lucky, Nyoni and Ngumoha.

Slot says we will play a strong side but it's still an opportunity to rest a few regulars.

Maybe:

Mama

Ramsay
Konate
Gomez
Robertson

Jones
Nyoni
Szoboslai

Rio
Gakpo
Chiesa

Experience in all departments with a sprinkling of youth.

A strong bench but rests for Ali, VVD, Wirtz and Ekitike.

So: Woodman, Kerkez, Gravenberch, McAllister, Frimpong. And I would love to see Will Wright and Kieran Morrison subs as well.

Yeah that's more like it. Slot was bigging up the FAC so he's not going to risk playing too many youngsters but also needs to rest senior players. Maybe Szobo for Macca. Or Gakpo for Frimpong (Chiesa RW).
 
I have seen him twice. Looks calm and assured on the ball. Gets forward, also can defend his flank. Hope he can get some games and build on it. He has the talent.
 
Rio is starting tomorrow and it will be great to see him in a team with several first team players. Really hope he turns it on.

It’s not so much about the gap to the next game as the gap from the Arsenal game which would have been a huge mental and physical toll. Can’t afford a key injury.

It's a damn shame that Ekitike is probably out, as I'd love to see him working with a competent 9 rather than a makeshift one
