Spotted in training
I'm much more excited to see ox back. Keita can fuck off
That is a force ghost midfielder. Just like Luke appearing to help Rey in Rise of Skywalker, he is just turning up to help and inspire our midfield.
He is being brought back early so the hate mob can divert their attention from Trent. Haters gonna hate hate hate
But is Naby gonna play play play???
Might be one where Thiago gets a breather ahead of Ajax, but I suspect Trent will play right back and Milner might come in at Ajax, or vise versa.
Elliott will start this one.

Like this one the best, but would like to see Konate eased back in
We should be doing some rotation in this game, if we can take a point from Ajax next week then the group stages are over and that's a vital "rest game" against Napoli that we don't need to care about.

We should be looking to get Salah and Nunez off the pitch as soon as an unassailable lead is established. Jones, Elliot, Milner, Bajcetic could come in and get mins, even Ramsay if he's available

I’m not sure taking the Napoli game as a rest game is the right choice - although we’d need to smash them 3-0 or so to top the group.
As things currently stand, finishing second would mean we play either Club Brugge, Bayern, Real or PSG with the other 3 English teams likely to top their groups.
Not certain PSG will top their group, but still, while none of these teams will fancy playing us, they’re games we could easily lose.

My understanding is we need to beat them by 4 goals to top the group. That's not going to happen. We have a huge game v Spurs 3 days later. If our intention is to not run this team into the ground again then we absolutely should take the 2nd place finish and take the chance to rest some players.
Beating them by 4 clear goals would definitely mean we finish top.
Beating them by 3 clear goals would tie us up on head-to-head and would then depend on the results in the next round - we’d need to get a better goal difference than they do against Rangers - so probs not likely - but stranger things.
Too late to think about topping the group. Napoli are like a Ferrari burning it up & down the Autobahn this season, both at home and in Europe. Any result would be good but beating them by 3 or 4 is just not going to happen.

Well, fuck. Our options in attack right now are really unconvincing. Firmino can't really do 90 minutes after this amount of fixture congestion. I do not want to see more of the second half vs West Ham.
If we’re going 442 - which I know is a more fluid version, and we’re not risking Nunez, then :
Alisson
Milner - Gomez - VVD - Tsimikas
Elliot - Hendo - Thiago - Carvalho
Salah - Bobby
Subs :
Trent on for Milner
Robbo on for Tsimikas
Fabs for Hendo
Jones on for Thiago
Maybe Badger-Tits gets a run out and hopefully this game is put to bed quickly and early.

Yup, and it's likely! Attacking subs is an even more disturbing thought.
Now's the time someone tells me about some kid in the reserves who will play 5 minutes look "lively" then I'll see them once again, and finally remember their name, only for them to be loaned out and then sold.
Even better if they have a hyphenated name.
So, who is it?

Just give him an asthma inhaler and he'll be good to go
