This game will tell us a lot. The lineup will be an insight into Slot’s mettle.

So many positives to take into this.

Team for me is

Marmadash

Bradders
Konate
Virgil
Robbo

Szobo
Jones
Wirtz

Chiesa
Ekitike
Gakpo

Let Isak, Mo, Macca, Kerkez use the final 25 mins to earn a place back, and give them the EFL cup game.

Also side bet: Mo to have a penalty saved by Kelleher
 
Slot was resting players tonight. It will back to the Status Quo at the weekend. Unfortunately.

Isak has a slight groin strain - he won't be risked. Jones for Gravy is he's not fit.

-------------------------- Marma -------------

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

-------------------------- Gravy

---------------- Szobo --------- Wirtz

Salah ------------------ Ekitike ------------- Gakpo

Win 0-2
 
Picking up too many injuries at a bad time, that's Ali Grav Frim and Isak in the last 4 games. Anymore in this game and we're truly down to the bare bones.

I'd like a bit of consistency tbh. Isak being injured means Hugo starts and that's brilliant news.

Same midfield as last night (even if gravy is back - no point rushing him). Back 5 picks itself. I know there's a debate on Robbo/kerkez, but I still think persist with kerkez and let him try and find his place in the team
 
They were shite, it’ll be back to the usual team you’d have to imagine.

God I wish Robbo was 23.
He is so unappreciated sometimes. Would Kerkez have played the pass to Ekitike like Robbo did yesterday?
Would he have spotted Chiesa's run against Southampton, that won us the game?
 
Looking ahead, we have Palace midweek which is where we will put out the second string, which means I’d keep the side as close to last night as possible. This could be the same side against City the week after if Gravy isn’t back.

Marmadashvili
Bradley

Konate - Robbo can’t play twice in a week
Jones
Szoboszlai
Wirtz
I’d play Chiesa but we all know it will be Salah
Ekitike
Gakpo

Tbf that comes with experience. Kerkez is still young.
 
Yea don’t be fooled by last night. Apparently he had assists for Scotland but looked well below it defensively. Plus we all know his concentration goes when playing multiple games in quick succession.
 
I don’t think anyone is advocating playing him 90mins each game, but he still has a lot to offer and should be getting more game time than he is.
