Rodders Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 All change. Its a bit tedious if we do lose but ultimately not a disaster. Every chance AZ help us out anyway. Rest as many key players as we can: Mcginn, Luiz, Watkins, Konsa, Martinez should be rested at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Need Ollie to start in this one. He’s had a couple of quiet games and needs to get scoring again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Rest as many as possible for next weekend. Keep Digne and DL in given they are suspended for that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OIlie needs a break ahead of Xmas league games. would go something like: Martinez Cash-Konsa-Lenglet-Moreno Zaniolo-Donk-Luiz-Ramsey Diaby-Duran 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Martinez Cash Konsa Lenglet Digne Luiz Donk Ramsey Zaniolo Diaby Duran If Bailey is injured maybe not Diaby. Moreno should get minutes too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Luiz has definitely played himself into this game with the yellow, and a player of his class goes a long way to securing the draw we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Who knows what Unai’s game plan will be, but on fitness, availability and what we need from the game: Martinez Cash Diego Lenglet Digne Dendoncker Luiz Zaniolo Ramsey Diaby Duran After such a busy schedule, we can see the gaps in our squad. Zaniolo is the weak link in that shape. Like to give Diego a rest, but don’t think Emery trusts Chambers a jot after the game in Warsaw, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I hope we can rotate as it was clear we had some tired players today. Just need a solid performance and get the job done. I’d take a boring 4-0 win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably go exactly like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Play the B team, don't let some of the rest to travel. They could do without the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a feeling he'll play Olsen though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Need a few changes Thursday and get some rest into players, now priorities are slightly changing. Olsen, Lenglet, Cash, Zaniolo, Duran, Dendonker and maybe Chamber should all get good mins in this game if not start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz should play now he's unavailable for Brentford to keep him ticking over. In two minds over Moreno. I'd be tempted to start him just to get his fitness right up to start a prem match but then two starts in 70 hours might be a little too much in terms of loadings so Digne starting seems more logical. I wonder if Donk's cameo tonight is preparing him for a start at Brentford so he'll certainly be starting in midweek. Two fewer games in February would be huge help so we need to be getting the result we need to top the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Rest as many as possible. Lads need and deserve a rest. Don't care if we end up finishing 2nd it the group. We can worry about the extra matches next year. This december premier league period is so crucial to securing a top 4 position. It is right there for the taking now. Luiz to start since they are suspended for the weekend. Digne suspended as well but I think moreno should still start though since he needs some match fitness for the weekend match. Maybe play him 60 minutes. Olsen Cash Konsa Lenglet Moreno Zaniolo Donk Luiz Ramsey Diaby Duran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Even start chambers instead of konsa if he is fit. A chance for him to put himself in the shop window so will be eager to do well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
