Pre Match - PSV (H) Wed 20:00 (CL)

I would like to see a midfield that can create. I was thinking about all the wild subs and maybe we just need more midfielders to control the game and give us confidence.

That said, we don't really have options. Hopefully Nallo can get his third red card in a row
 
Id be going with endo gravy and Szob------- in the middle. Fuck it. More defensive solidity, gravy can progress the ball, endo can boot people and know how's to defend.

Unfortunately the team picks itself
 
That's another case of a player improving by not playing. I love Endo but he's been proper shit every time he played this season

He's isn't great by any metrics, but at least he's defensively minded, whereas all our others aren't.

We're getting exposed on the reg, so I'd prefer additional support for them
 
If we had a DM in the youth team who was more aggressive than tippy tappy, then I'd advocate for them.

We just need a proper DM
 
I don't know what we expect of players like Endo and Gomez. We know that they're a tier below the regular starters, but we don't give them any minutes, save when making up numbers with a bunch of youngsters. In the case of Gomez the message is also "I'd rather have a midfielder play in your position than have you, RB by trade, play when Frimpong and Bradley are injured." Seems like setting them up to fail.
 
Watch us beat Eindhoven today and then lose to West Ham on Sunday. Unfortunately, I see it coming. But maybe not. We could lose today as well.
Every time I see Dom put in the RB position it does my nut in.

Part of the reason is he’s not match fit. The other is that he’s in his 30s.
 
He's also not the tallest, so isn't necessarily going to help with all the set piece goals we've been conceding.

True, but he might help cut out opportunities in midfield a bit better.

Considering slot sees him as our 4th or 5th choice CB, I don't think set pieces matter
 
Because he's a stubborn, pigheaded cunt.

But this is the problem with Slot. If he is forced to bring players in from the cold, they are proper shit, because they haven't played at all. You can't expect Endo to just perform when he's getting no football whatsoever. Chiesa has had scraps but he's had enough to drum together some kind of form. Endo is literally getting 5 minutes every three weeks, he hasn't even got the luxury of League Cup football because the chump decided to throw it.
 
How far is Bajectic off playing? Slot will never rate Endo. We won't be signing a midfielder in January. Jones is being Jones, and Mac Allister has somehow forgotten to be a footballer. Bajectic returning to the player when he burst through under Klopp is the only source of change I can see at the moment. About a 5% chance of it happening, though!

Back in training.

That's exactly what's going to happen.

They're catching us at a great time, we're catching them at a not so great time. If you want a little extra for your christmas bonus, wack £100 on West Ham or draw.
