Pre Match Pre Match - Burnley (A) - Sunday 14:00

[Brizzle]

Almost time to move on from another pointless international break.

Away to Burnley, but not the Burnley we used to know. Will be interesting to see where Szob fits in with Bradders fit and Frim close too.

For me I’d rest Macca although he was unused sub for Argentina so is getting some good rest.

Alisson

Bradders
Konate
Virgil
Kerkez

Gravy
Szobo
Wirtz

Salah
Ekitike
Gakpo

Alternatively I’d bench Wirtz and play Szob AM, and let Wirtz have final 30 mins to impress.

Isak on bench hopefully and 10 min cameo

 

[jan]

I'd play the same team as last time but it probably depends on the timing of players returning from games overseas

Ali

Tayto warrior
Konate
Van dijk
Kerkey

Gravy
Slobs
Mac

FOM
Tekkers
Gakkers

 

[KopRed]

Not too long ago Szobo was slagged off frequently and no one was against Wirtz replacing him in midfield. Now after 2 good games at RB he is suddenly flavour of the month? Ok.

 

[Modo]

Unless there are any injuries to key players, it's quite clear to me that Brizzle's lineup is the one we'll go with.

Argentina have already qualified so Macca might play tonight because he sat out the last game.

I think this'll be the team simply because any South Americans don't get back until late Thursday.

We don’t play till Sunday. They’ll be fine.

Macca starting tonight for Argentina

Thank fuck! play wirtz and dom at RB. Why change a winning formation and team?

Maybe Szobo in midfield if Macca is knackered or whatever and Bradley back in. It's a game for Wirtz to step up, otherwise, we may need to start tactical tinkering. We main thing is we need to keep the ball and pin teams back for longer.

 

[Modo]

I don't want Slot to start getting "Milner type" ideas regarding Szobo, he's not a fullback.

I have a strong feeling that Jones will start against Burnley, considering that he's been resting for two weeks.
We play in the CL three days later.
That's also a good reason to play a RB at RB.

 

[MomoWASright]

Bradley played the full game against Germany. He will be back against Burnley.

 

[Hansern]

Jones shouldn’t start. Macca looked a bit tired in the Argentina game. Think he’ll be on the bench against Burnley and then start against Atletico.

 

[Pesam]

“No one was against…..”. I have maintained my faith in Dom since day one and IMO he should always be one of the first names on the team sheet. Added to this……we still haven’t seen the best of him yet!

The issue with Dom is he's only really useful for his running power/engine tank (+ the odd free kick). He's spend 2 years playing different kinds of roles in midfield and flattered to deceive for 90% of that time. Generally less is expected of a FB than a midfielder, so perhaps he's best showcasing his traits in that position.

I'd forgotten all about Atletico. Need to construct two teams based on 2 games within 4 days.

6 games in 17 days! 3x PL, 2x CL and 1x EFL
