lineup code
[lineup]
Vicario
Royal Sanchez VDV Davies
Hojbjerg Sarr
Solomon GLC Perisic
Richarlison
[/lineup]
A bit of an odd line up granted, theory being put Hoj and Sanchez in the shop window again vs PL opposition, give GLC and Perisic some minutes, it's a good opportunity for Richy to continue to play into form, and gives Son a rest to potentially start up top vs Burnley (assuming we haven't bought a new striker by then, which is looking increasingly unlikely). I'd rather take the risk of playing VDV next to Sanchez purely because of how injury prone Romero seems to be, VDV is young and can take a 2 game week in stride fairly easily one would imagine. Davies is a bit of an arse twitcher but again we need to keep Udogie fit for the league games ideally, we should really have better depth there because Sessegnon as a young rotational prospect is shite and Reguillon is just shit at everything, no system change will help him learn to defend or actually do anything with the ball once he's in the opponent's third. Dier is pointless, literally pointless, I'd rather play a traffic cone.
