Didn't know that.... Bummer.
Was hoping he could do a shift at RB.....

Rodon?

Meaning we have to play Serge & Reg too?
I see your thinking, but Rodon not elligible and Doherty in quarantine (+ Toby of course) leaves us too stretched at the back atm.
Dier then.Rodon?
Hmh, hes inelegible

Dier then.

I'd play Cirkin and Aurier. Dier will be fine. He's not an all action CB.So you would play both fullbacks who have to play Chelsea and the Dier who also played for England in the break just to have 5 defenders on?
Have some doubts, Reguilon won't play, so Davies in the left is a given unless Mourinho decide to play a youngster there and Davies at CB. We also have just Aurier for the RB, that should be rested for Chelsea as should Dier. Don't know what Mourinho will do but seems a good game to give Cirkin an opportunity on the LB.Really need dier saving his legs for the chavs imo
surely we can put out a competent enough back 4 without him for this fixture
Surely Dav and Ben in the centre have enough about them to marshal tanganga and Cirkin either side of themHave some doubts, Reguilon won't play, so Davies in the left is a given unless Mourinho decide to play a youngster there and Davies at CB.

Would be fine to see that back four, but I don't know what Tanganga's situation is, he was injured until recently I think.Surely Dav and Ben in the centre have enough about them to marshal tanganga and Cirkin either side of them
What about Parrot and Skipp? :mourbringit:Going for this one on Thursday...

I have a cunning plan....No Rodon?
We play the Chavs at half four the following Sunday. They play Tuesday so will have 2 days extra rest. Could do with 'none' of our 'first team' featuring so they're fully rested. With that in mind...
Hart
Tanganga - Sanchez - Davies - Cirkin
Winks - Lo Celso (25')
Bale - Dele - Moura (17')
Vinnie-v2
Those players should be beating frigging Ludogorets. Not sure that will be the team our manager picks though.
Either way, Dier, Sissoko and NDombele shouldn't even bring their boots
I get that we're confident, but starting with 9 players is a bit of a piss-take. Could backfire.In my opinion, we should have these players on the pitch:
Hart;
Tanganga, Sanchez and Davies;
Winks, Lo Celso;
Bale, Lucas;
Vinicius.
Could be a punch up in the dressing room afterwards !Surely Dav and Ben in the centre have enough about them to marshal tanganga and Cirkin either side of them
Which 2 got sent off ?In my opinion, we should have these players on the pitch:
Hart;
Tanganga, Sanchez and Davies;
Winks, Lo Celso;
Bale, Lucas;
Vinicius.
Then we need to find a solution for the RB position - assuming we want to preserve Aurier for Chelsea. And we also need one more player for a midfield/attacking midfield role. Lo Celso could play deeper - next to Winks - or as a 10 as a result of this choice.
My first instinct would be playing Lo Celso next to Winks - and one of Dele Alli or Lamela (if he´s fit) as a 10. The only problem here is that Jose tried this against Antwerp and the result was a disaster. I´m not saying it would happen again, I´m saying he might think twice.
If Lamela is available, then I would play him as a 10. The only question mark would remain in relation to the RB position. Just saw a post by Fattynomates in which he mentioned Cirkin as a option. That could work. Tanganga (RB), Sanchez, Davies (LCB) and Cirkin.
