Decent on cleanup in the defense but far too conservative when we had possession
Starting Odobert, Johnson, and Udogie just after returning from injury ?
They'll all have been in training about 2 weeks by the match, don't have to give them the whole game if they can't manage that yet but even if they're not 100% sharp you're weighing that against a fatigued Son, Kulu and Porro. It's not the same as starting VDV and Romero against Chelsea after 1 training session back and saying afterwards they probably shouldn't have started.
You mean unless we score 2 or 3.
I am stupidly confident that we suddenly will.have too many options for them.
I like your optimism but since Dom went down (and then Richy) we have zero play through the middle meaning we constantly recycle to try and get space wide only for Son and Kulu to never get to the byline or in behind.
It's all very one dimensional and easy to defend. Maybe madders can find a ball or two... hope
So
Would like to see something like this:
Vicario
Grey, Danso, Davies, Spence
Bissouma, Bergvall
Odobert, Madders, Moore
Son
Rest Porro, Kulu and play Son in a fucking position where he can take a shot. But we ain't seeing this, because the dinosaur will have to play Kulu and Porro against Ipswich, you know the plan, we should always use our best players because tactics are shite.

Que?We have 2 wins / 3 loses to Ipswich's 3 wins / 2 Draws in the last 5 days.
I'm confident with a good result for this game but hey it's football you never know
Vicario
Porro
Danso
Davies
Spence
Gray
Bergvall
Maddison
Johnson
Tel
Moore
Play Mikey in his best position. No hope Odobert starts this one, he'll be eased back in with more caution.
Time to play Archie in his best position, neither Bentancur or Bissouma convince me and he deserves it.
Son has to come out. Back in for City. Same for Kulu.
Porro
Danso
Davies
Spence
Gray
Bergvall
Maddison
Johnson
Tel
Moore

Son as a centre forward is ridiculous.
Yeah, him as a winger is not ridiculous.
Nah, he will start Son. He doesn't trust anyone on the left. Odobert especially coming back from a long injury.It’s who we are mate.
Got a feeling they will want it more than us.
Need to hope Big Kev is fit to play, will be a good game for him.
Solanke not back until March a huge miss.
