Rodri won it (deservedly IMO); Vinicius Jr. didn’t show up because he’s mad he didn’t win, a big Brazilian baby.

Tight turnaround on this. Would love to just full rotate but we have this mega challenge in that we only have 4 strikers fit across 3 positions. We're going to be very reliant on Nunez & Salah putting in 90s for next 4 games (then there is another international break).


Jaros

Gomez
Quansah
VVD
Tsimikas

Endo
Morton
Szobo

Salah
Nunez
Gakpo

There are some 'up & comers' in the U21s that I would be happy to see in here too - Nyoni, Pinnington (CB), Cannonier (CF)

Don’t mean to lay into Robbo after a difficult game - Saka could give anyone a torrid time - but I think we’ve just about reached the point where Tsimikas and Robbo can be considered equally viable options for the LB role. You could say this season Tsimikas was responsible for a good share of the better performances from the LB position and you feel with consistent game time (which he’s now starting to get under Slot, unlike Klopp), there is not much to choose between them.

This thread is not for transfer speculation - we will probably sign another LB in one of the future transfer windows, but asuming Robbo and Tsimikas are our main LB options for the remainder of the season, how will you choose between them? Would it be basically each one playing 1 game a week, the way it’s been lately? Are there any specific types of games or situations one is better suited for than another?

Taking the emotion out of it, we did well when away to a rival. They did well for about 35 minutes and had 3 shots on target all game.

We came into second half but still had too many passengers throughout.

Pick your top 3.

Kelleher
Alexander-Arnold
Konate
Van Dijk
Robertson (Tsimikas 63’)
Gravenberch
Mac Allister (Szobszlai 63’)
Jones (Endo 90’)
Salah
Nunez
Diaz (Gakpo 63’)

Came as a surprise to me

Just our luck today. City scrape a 1-0 win over the bottom club and every other match is drawn ! Correction Brentford have just scored again ! Incredible number of late goals.

Bournemouth get a point at villa - equalised in the 96th min.
Brentford get a winner in the 96th min vs Ipswich (10 men from the 69th min) after they'd equalised in the 86th min. 4-3.
Brighton take the lead in the 85th min only to see Wolves equalise in the 93rd min.

As much as it pains me to say this, I think CJ should be ahead of him. I thought when he came he would be Bobby's heir, he can press dribble, pass and had very good GAs at Leipzig .
Is it upto Slot to reutilise him and play him in another position - right now he looks lost

So we keep winning with szobo in there, running, pressing, making a nuisance of himself.... and giving the ball away a lot.

Jones has been awesome when he's played, but does he offer the same workrate and defensive solidity if he were to play the attacking midfield role?

Or should jones play alongside gravy, as Macca is looking a little tired?
