Farlz Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'm glad Martinez is starting. Just his presence will have us better defensively. Midfield pair slightly concerning but still we absolutely should be winning this tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted October 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2023 Donk and Youri in midfield. Very disappointed with that. Pace will be a major issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted October 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2023 Was really hoping not to see Tielemans starting. Good to see Emi in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're missing JJ, Diaby and Bouba of course so it's to be expected. Well yes, they're injured, but we have Luiz, Torres and Watkins on there. Cash also. I wouldn't call it weak. Maybe from an attacking perspective like you then explained, but it's not weak in general 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Not at all confident based on the evidence we have available to judge a midfield pairing of Tielemans and Donk. But hopefully they both deliver something close to their best and we'll be ok. Otherwise the rest of the team looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Rotation is to be expected, our 1st 11 can't play every week, this is where the squad players need to step up, sadly every time we have seen them, they have been woeful. Need a massive performance from them today, lose again and its gonna be hard progressing much further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think part of Tielemans' problem so far is that when he's been particularly poor like against Everton he was playing in that advanced midfield role that just doesn't suit him at all because he has no physicality or athleticism to his game. Pretty confident he'll be a lot better playing more so in the midfield as he will be tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The two pairings in CD and CM will need to perform tonight. Carlos Lenglet Dendonker Tielemans On paper these guys should have more than enough, but we all know it doesn’t work like that. We have to rotate for injuries though so we don’t have a lot of choice, and these players will never get up to speed sat on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Tommi O'Reilly is an attacking player, Kadan Young probably would have made the squad but is injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
