OutByEaster? Posted August 12, 2023 Moderator Share Posted August 12, 2023 If Bailey does drop out, it'll be interesting to see if it's Tielemans or Philogene-Bidace that comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said player would be withdrawn from the match day squad. hmm, interesting, wonder when we will find out whether he has been withdrawn or not.

Like the four man box midfield we had for much of last season with Kamara, Luiz, McGinn and Ramsey. It'd be a different mix because Ramsey is a very different type - but it wouldn't require too much of adjustment. Tielemans doesn’t have the legs for the Ramsey , Mcginn role . We might see it most on here are convinced it’s the way to go despite the fact we didn’t see it at all during the pre season. I’ll hold my hands up and gladly admit I’m wrong if we see it .

I'd go Tielmans and make McGinn more advanced. Bring on JPB later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said " I'm told Bailey is in, but that could change, will have more on this " etc. Bailey’s definitely not in, he’s over at Newcastle getting ready to play a football match. I know, I called for him earlier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at last seasons goal videos and look at his involvements. He wasn't nearly as bad as people think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, you seem to be right... I think Philogene comes on for Bailey if we need to make an attacking change too, but Tielemans could fit in in place of McGinn easily, without shoehorning anything.

MrBlack Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Diaby x Bailey magic incoming... do it lads! (Assuming injury rumour mill isn't true) Edited August 12, 2023 by MrBlack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Our bench is so much stronger. Really gives us so many options, I imagine we will see Jaden in the second half. Really intrigued to see him hopefully feature. Digne’s defensive work will be important today so I can see why Pau drops to the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
