What I would like to see

Forster

Royal Romero Lenglet Perisic

Sarr Højbjerg Skipp

Kulu Kane Richarlison

As we're hugely unlikely to go 433, what I would take next

Forster

Romero Sanchez Davies
Porro Højbjerg Skipp Perisic
Kulu Kane Richarlison

What we'll probably get

Forster
Romero Dier Davies
Porro PEH Sarr Perisic
Kulu Kane Son

Boring, Pointless. 2 down, no changes, keep playing, this is the plan, the plan will work until it doesn't work.

*required as you will actually be playing on the night in any number of currently unfilled positions.
 
He's a good player but he's not been anywhere near his best since the world cup, no harm giving him a boot up the arse. Can always bring him on.

His lacked sharpness since his return. Could be a better idea to use him as a 65mins sub for a few games to just get his game up a bit.

Seeing as we now have good options up top we could easily address his and Son's lack of form and play Dan / Kane / Richy instead.

LOL.... U think Lenglet would be a better option in a back 4 than he is with 3CBs??????

Ditto Perisic ahead of Davies at LB in a flat back 4?

......And yeh, PEH has a one match ban.
 
I remember rivals saying we'd beaten a washed Milan too. Only for them to knock out Woolwich the following year with an even worse team.
I didn't remember this at all until my Milan supporting mate told me about this tie yesterday. He said that Milan were in cruise control the first leg, and went to the shithole just for a formality, only to find themselves 3-0 down at HT and absolutely shitting it.

You're right though. The Milan we beat were a lot better than the one of the next season, although the one next season was on the verge of eliminating Pep's Barca with fucking Kevin Konstant (who?) at LB. Milan are like RM, their badge weighs a lot in Europe.
 
I'd be very surprised if it's not this team frankly

Emerson Romero Dier Davies Perisic

Skipp Sarr

Son Kane Richarlison (seems to be a few rumours Kulu might be on the bench)

Greeeeeeat

Not overly reliable but it looks like Bennacur will not make it.

we just have to get through a rough few weeks before hopefully welcoming Hugo and Bissouma back

(and Sess I guess)
