Strongest possible team and rotate mid-week.
Vicario
Porro - Romero - VdV - Spence
Palhinha
Sarr - Bergvall
Kudus - Muani - Xavi
Him and Richarlison can share the minutes, but I'd like to see Muani start.I'd definitely give Muani minutes. Not sure he's ready to start yet though (or at least play more than 45-60 mins).
Fucking hell, I hope he's not looking too closely at November then!!
The month of death!
Makes sense. Would be very surprised to see any changes to the back four though to be honest.Tempted to have Spence and Udogie in to deal with Mitoma and Minteh. Keep Sarr and Lucas in midfield as well beat their midfield for legs. Muani up top as their defenders are slow
Best not to look then... don't wanna ruin the good feeling of the first few weeks!In fairness, I havent looked that far ahead but I'm hoping he has!
Albion friend of mine not confident in their defence at all, set piece or otherwise. Reckons their midfield is very reliant on Baleba’s fitness and if he can be bothered after not getting his move.Ah cheers.
So Milner plays regardless. In which case, I’m definitely half hoping this is Franks chance to try Simon’s in the 10.
Muani to start for me. Hit them with legs and pace, let them come on to us with their ponderous build up and hit them on break with Muani, Sarr, Lucas, kudus etc. not sure is Xavi quick?Him and Richarlison can share the minutes, but I'd like to see Muani start.
Why on earth would he adapt? He’s basic, rigid and one dimensional on his strong foot…. Kudus is the opposite and can go both ways and would be fine on the left. Makes no sense to me at allThe reality is that as long as Kudus is fit, Johnson isn't getting a start on the right.
I thought he'd be able to adapt on the left but has looked pretty shit so far. We can't start him. Not until he starts putting in good performances from the bench and if he's unable to turn it around he'll be gone next season. Maybe even in January considering we've got a new leadership team who will probably want to make a statement.
We go two up against anyone in the league under Frank and we won’t ever lose a game.
2-2 would be a draw in the league, and so not a loss...
How did Man City get on down there?Our last two visits to the AMEX have been awful... team with top four aspirations wins this game but I'd bite your hand off for a point right now. Strongest team should played and 11 changes for Donny midweek.
I do like your 2 teams. However past experience tells me players picked for Doncastle include many players that have yet to play much this season. There’s has also been a tendency going back years for the players picked to think themselves as back up players and not have the right attitude and energy but just play it safe.--------------------Vicario---------------------
