Spence needs a game and Porro needs a rest. Perfect game for this imo.

I'm not sure if Spence is fit yet (might be wrong)

If he IS OK, then I think the Back 4 choice depends on whether Romero is fit or not.

If he is, I think Ange COULD think about swapping out Porro for Spence (or even Gray...)

But if not, and we're talking about Davies and Dragusin back there, then I don't think we can start fucking about with the 2 FB positions.

I reckon, if he's gonna tinker today, it'll be either/or Romero and Spence alongside Dragusin and Udogie,
Or Udogie, Davies, Dragusin and Spence.
I guess we'll find out in a little under 5 hours!!

It's more the potential lack of an entire LW option I'm thinking about .. is Son definitely fit?

Agree 👍
 
Bit of a worry that we are at matchday 10 in the league and starting to look just as threadbare in certain areas of the pitch as we did this stage last season, really think we should have tried harder to get a couple of senior defenders in this summer, even a loan at CB on the assumption that one of Dorrington or Vuskovic might take up a 4th CB slot next season would have shored us up nicely.

I would play Drag right and Romero left 100%

Other than that, picks itself - although I would bring in Spence for Udogie potentially

NOT so sure about that.... But we might have no choice!

Weirdly, I'd say, if you look at the 5 players definitely out today, only VDV is a guaranteed 1st team starter.
Odobert, Richy, Moore, Werner are all great squad players, but if ALL of them started today, we'd be concerned! (Not least cos most of them are LW!)

My only solace from Romero potentially not playing, is that Dragusin AND Davies get to play on their stronger side of CD.

Dragusin is no VDV replacement, but he CAN do a job at RCD...

likewise Davies is no VDV replacement (I think there's a pattern forming here) but at LEAST he's left footed, and can help out back there if/when Udogie ever bombs forward.

I'd almost (but not quite) go so far as to say Davies and Dragusin in their favoured positions, are a better option than not quite 100% Romero having to potentially look out for and cover an out of position Dragusin!

Jeez, and I was TRYING to get positive!

Drag looked comfortable against Villa last week so expecting a more composed performance today! I think the away atmostphere in Galatasaray, along with their aggressive high press just completely threw him. Hopefully that experience will stand to him going forward
