We cannot play Ange Ball with the players we have fit. We'll have to dig deep and think outside the box. Danso as a CDM because he can deal with Bruno. He's physical and clinical in defense. If we break Bruno's game, we break United

I don’t disagree re Bruno / outside the box
I disagree with Danso in midfield
He'll be playing CDM. Just in front of the CBs. That way he'll cover the area that Bruno operates in. He should not go forward and won't be relied on for carrying the ball. Bentancur as a CM, slightly on the right will see to that. It will also allow Udogie or Porro to push up without us leaving 2 at the back
But if he's in midfield and boots it long, it might go in the goal.
Not for me. Depends on how the game goes. Son on the bench is a replacement for any of the front three and potentially one of the attacking midfield three. There isn't really much point in bringing him on except if somebody is looking leggy or injured or we need a tactical switch to create a goal. It could be more likely he comes on for the likes of Sarr at 60 mins if it is a draw or we are losing.
Playing midfield isn't that simple. We will have a lot of the ball and he'll be like a rabbit in the headlights receiving any passes in the midfield area. I could maybe see a scenario where Romero or Porro might cope okay in midfield and do a job, but definitely not Danso.
I'd prefer to see us just go with Gray or Sarr, let one of them pick up Bruno and allow Bentancur to push further forward. Again not ideal but for me the most obvious solution.
I can't read this thread, it makes me too nervous.
You can tell who does and doesn't have a clue about football looking at these lineups
Did you try this on fifa last night?
I'd argue that Richy has been more impactful on the left than anyone else. Not just the few times he has played this seaosn, but last season too. Our system does not suit either Tel or Son on the left. Plus, having Richy on the pitch with Solanke (and Bentancur and Romero) means we are very aerially dangerous from set pieces.
Is Sarr fit or out?
Just putting CAM next to Bissouma's name doesn't all of a sudden imbue him with the spirit of prime Kaka you know...
This suggestion solves none of the issues of lack of creativity from midfield, and in fact probably increases them by lumping Danso in there for some reason.
I dont see how Odobert starts tbh. Not really staked a claim to start recently. Big season for him next year. Needs to push on.
We need some attacking balance, it's a hail mary move but we don't have much choice.
I think Bergvall plays some part in the final as a 10, depending on how fit he is.
Knowing our luck in Wednesday nights pre match warm up it will be:
Wooah fucking hamstring tear
Woooah to Wilson Odobert
We’re cursed, I fucking swear
Woooah Wilson hamstring tear
