He's better than both zero doubt in my mind give him more than 15 mins to prove it.

Everyone out of position to accomodate fucking Johnson, this is on of the dumbest things I've read here.
ST holders get emails inviting to this sort of thing and there's a ballot. I was (un)lucky this time
No it'll be in one of the conference rooms I should imagine.
Na Europa league we would have played 3rd rate teams like Bodo ..........
Tel could still be added as a temporary Solanke replacement.
UEFA: "Clubs can admit the temporary replacement of just one outfield player who is ruled out for an extended period of time, with a long-term injury or illness."
I'm not sure if Solanke would qualify under that rule because TF said that he's back training and will return soon. He said it was a minor surgery and he should be back soon...
Liverpool and Chelsea both brought replacements in: Liverpool added Chiesa to their squad after Leoni tore his ACL and would be out for a year and Chelsea replaced Dario Essugo, who had surgery in September and will be out until at least January, with Buonanotte.
I don't think another month or so would get any sympathy from UEFA.

I wouldn't even mind Gray starting ahead of Palhinha for this one tbh. Maybe the 3 youngsters in the middle might add the energy we need.
No fancy bullshit for this one. Direct ball into box for Richi and Muani to cause issues.

Solanke's injury does qualify as long-term so no real reason not to add Tel.
Bro thinking of the EuroMillions, innit.
Only way we score is if Dier kicks it in his own net. 
Do the honorable thing Eric.
Do the honorable thing Eric.
Based on yesterday's performance and no firepower. And the fact Johnson was top scorer last season. Let's be honest weve been car crash up top this season.

He's out injured
Probably worth looking at the bench options too :
Uncertain Injury Status - Romero, Davies plus Solanke (injured)
12 man Bench : Kinsky, Austin, Porro, Gray, , Bentancur, Simons, Odobert, Johnson, Scarlett, Byfield (CB), T. Thompson (LW) and Williams-Barnett (no 10)

Monaco aren't that great.
Got slapped 4-1 by European powerhouse Club Brugge.
Drew 1-1 with Angers at the weekend who are 2nd bottom of the French League.
We should go there and play with flair and creativity but we all know it'll be a shit load of defensive players as we try to keep a clean sheet and nick a goal with a set piece.

There are 2 CL matches (including this one) before a 2 week international break in November.
If there was any significant doubt Solanke would not be back in November for the remaining 4 CL matches in League phase (and/or Kulusevski back in November ?) I think we'd probably have made the change from Solanke to Tel already. As it hasn't I'd guess Frank thinks Solanke back in mid November is a better squad option than Tel now - and meanwhile Tel plays in PL so will get minutes and resting other forwards.
I can't see the point of playing Richarlison...
