Salah dropped. Will Slobby play right? Or Frimpong? Will they chop and change?

We now get to see what a Salah-less side is like for at least 60 mins. I hope Szobo is RW.
 
Interesting.

Really hope Wirtz gets something going tonight, just to ease pressure and discussion about him.

I do also, but because if he doesn't we will have issues creating.

Ekitike gakpo and wirtz have to develop some sort of understanding. They will naturally just occupy many of the same spaces and they need to figure out how to help each other and collectively we need to get some fullback play going or we will all be too narrow and slow.

I think slot thinks Galatasaray are worse than Chelsea, and he's right. We have to have some rotation and our team already looked jaded in the last game.

Also last year he went very strong in this stage most games up until we were completely through, and it didn't help a bit.

I don't understand how professional athletes look jaded after 6 games.

Some, like macca aren't fit or there is something amiss with them in terms of a chronic injury. Isak likewise isn't fit due to no pre season.

Teams seem to build fitness a little more slowly as football has moved to being a squad based marathon. It doesn't seem like teams want peak fitness beginning of the season, they just want to get through. This is part of the enshittification of football where there are more full bore matches in the wrong sense and fewer in the right sense.

Salah absolutely needs his minutes managed. That's just common sense. He's offering fuck all the vast majority of the time. We want to get every bit out of his one purple patch so that we can convince ourselves it's worth it. Part of that is not playing him.

The problem of course is our two most senior, crucial players in VVD and Salah have no real replacement. Both were played a fuck ton last year.
