Farlz Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 This is going to be an awful game to watch. I know this is really quite obvious to say but the first goal is vital. If we start well and score first we're most likely going to win, we're quite strong from that position. If we concede first however its game over and we might as well stop watching. I'm really not sure how I'd like the team. I'd get Luiz back in the side though definitely and I have a feeling Barkley will start over Ramsey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not making Europe and not in danger of going down so now is the time to give players like Kesler a chance. The remaining games this season should be seen as an opportunity to blood youngsters and work out some alternative ways of playing when we are without key players/ playing a team with a certain style.

Johnnyp Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Curve ball here but id start Davis and play Watkins on the left of the three where he's well used to anyway. El Ghazi wasn't great the other night and his strength and hold up isn't great to bring midfield into it. He won't win contested balls. Grealish's physical strength is very underrated. Wins lots of contested balls. Ollie is bull strong across the whole line. Yes Davis might not have a goal in him yet but i think having 2 fellas of that strength and hold up across the front 3 would give us a great platform to play further in their half and create chances.

If he plays and is ‘on it’ it doesn’t really matter who is up against him they will have their hands full. Elmo is an experienced defender who will give 100% and the best alternative we have. But no doubt by 8 o’clock tonight he will have been ruined on here by some if he makes anything like an error.

If he starts, Targett will be up against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't happen though. I really hope we don't go down the familiar, dispiriting route of sending on Davis with 10 minutes to go, as it means we are losing and will go on to lose. It never works, so a new idea is long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't surprise me though that our possession stats are poor after bringing in Craig Shakespeare. Considering the type of football his teams have played. Sit back and counter. I hate it. It's negative by nature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
