Would normally wait to let us enjoy tonight’s win but can see people talking about Weds already.

More of the same please. Toon possibly without Isak.

Kelleher

Trent
Gomez
Virgil
Robbo

Gravy
Macca
Jones

Salah
Nunez
Gakpo / Diaz

Be ready to use subs for rotation but we need to keep the winning feeling.

This one is on Amazon Prime BTW
 
Shame we cant rotate even more, but lets go.
Have to manage some minutes as we have early kick off on Saturday as well.
 
We look unstoppable right now it almost doesn't matter who plays. Persistent injuries are the only thing now that can stop us getting our hands on this title. Not even the refs who are so desperate to negate us can do anything about it. With Virg, Grav and Mo playing we can win every game.

Kelleher
Trent Quansah Virg Gomez
Grav Jones
Szobo
Salah Nunez Gakpo
​
Would rest Robbo for this if Kostas is still out next week and bring him back for the derby, only to maximise the performances he does play in and playing 3 games in 6 days won't do that.
 
Ideally would rest Mo and Virgil for this but unlikely. 3 games in about 5 and half days? who comes up with this fixtures, it is totally ridiculous.

It shows there should be a rethink of the calendar. Too many internationals and the league cup needs scrapping.
 
The next run of matches looks fairly manageable, which probably means we'll have a few injuries and drop points. All about momentum and squad management now.

Good thing about that is that the Ev have a Wednesday game too. But agreed, i think mostly full strength til Girona when we can and should start the likes of Elliot, Endo, Morton, Quansah.
 
A big positive is the fact other teams have just as gruelling a schedule. Newcastle with a lot more rest are dangerous.

Nunez, Jones, Quansah should all start.
 
Newcastle have 1 more days rest. Isak is probably out and several of their players have knocks.

Always a tough away game but West Ham played them of the park.

Newcastle were in London yesterday and managed just one shot all game. I don’t think that’s a particularly great rest but i suppose they aren’t playing in Europe

As did palace. But they did beat Arsenal so i think we need to be on it.

Great timing for Isak to be a doubt and hopefully Wilson is struggling for fitness

Also reminding myself that Jota should be back by Girona too. Maybe Chiesa is out of jail too? Or Slot gets Danns into the squad.
 
It's a reasonable time to play them. Attacking wise they look very blunt.

The good news is that I think full strength can mean any two of Mac, Szobo, Jones and any two of Nunez, Gakpo, Diaz. So, we really have a 1st 13 right now. I would add Elliott to the midfield group if he was really match fit. Gravy and Salah are the least replaceable of our front 6.
 
Sounds a bit more promising, maybe, perhaps;

Arne Slot on Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley: “They will both be out for a few weeks. I have said many times before, it’s always difficult to judge how many weeks this exactly is because you can think in the beginning it’ll be like this and then the end stage of an injury process can always differ a bit.” (Sky Sports)
 
Elliott should get more minutes in the second half.

Still mildly concerned with macca. He's looking nowhere near his best and he's clearly struggling with fatigue. Any danger of jones comign in for him and seeing a gravy/jones/ szob? Or should we play it safe as midfield is probably their strongest position

So true. Also one or two fixtures away from Jota returning too

If Jones plays like the last few games, there is no drop in quality if he comes in for Macca. Macca generally played well, but has been sloppy at times in each of the past several games.

i thought macallister had started to perk up but yea he has played an ass ton of football in the last year or two, he needs to be protected and kept fresh. endo absolutely has to get involved and start giving any of mac/gravy/szob a rest. jones will really make huge leaps if he stays fit over the next few months imo.

i’m also wondering when that handsome bearded brazilian reserve goalkeeper we have gets a chance, i hear he’s decent
