Giving Digne a rest as we have no other left backs in the club at the moment. Pau and Konsa there as well so wouldn't be difficult to change if not working.

It's Your Round Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Hopefully Jacob is okay, he did take a knock at Chelsea, hope this is just a precaution. Carlos and Bertie Interesting defensive line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 God that's stronger than I'd have liked. We really need to get some injuries back and fit. I think it's games like tonight where we really miss Archer, Philogene and Ramsay being part of the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Curious how this looks out of possession and in possession. In possession - maybe something like this? Olsen Cash - Konsa - Pau Bailey - Dendoncker - Luiz - McGinn Diaby - Duran - Tielemans Very odd lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 No player providing natural width on the left unless Bailey takes the rare start in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 A lot of square pegs in round holes. Is Konsa or McGinn ever going to get a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted September 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 27, 2023 Unnecessarily strong team. Will be interesting to watch though, Unai made many unusual choices. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Good to see Carlos and Traore on bench. Not so good that Ramsey and Moreno aren't there. Resting Digne makes sense though Donk unexpected. Guess would've been planning Lenglet there and he picked up late injury/illness? (perhaps sudden lack of him, Chambers, Ramsey suggests illness?) Everton gone strong and obv hoping to get Calvert Lewin into some scoring form after he got one at weekend. Our front 3 should cause them problems.

If he went weaker and we lost, there would be a meltdown in some quarters and he'd be accused of " disrespecting " the competition and silverware etc. Now we've gone strong, people are saying it's too strong. If someone get's injured, or we lose anyway, he'll also get pelters. Edited September 27, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strength and aerial prowess, something we lack in general. Just looks too cumbersome and limited in midfield… maybe more of a future at the club as a backup defender… I hope so. Just worried him at cb and olsen at gk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
