Jareth Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 To stop us they will need the defensive organisation Brentford showed for most of their game - I don't see it. We might concede too, but I think we will out score them by a couple at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early goal would be huge. UTV. I’m the same. Under previous managers this is exactly the sort of match we **** up. Emery will be even more livid than us if we fail to get 3 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about Lenglet, but trust him more than Chambers in there. I wonder if there's a chance Kortney will make the bench. Wouldn't mind that, tbh.

MaVilla Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) their last 7 games are 2 wins (Wolves/Brentford), 1 draw (Brighton), and 4 losses (Bournemouth, Burnley, Liverpool, Chelsea), so 7 points from those 7 games. They arent doing as badly as their early season form from their first 10 games, of 0 wins, 1 draw, 9 losses. We had better be on our game.

I don't think he's in our squad list so chance is somewhere between nil and zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lenglet plays it's to keep the balance of having a left footer in there, Chambers wouldn't get a look in if Carlos and Konsa are fit and we play two right footers. Seems it's important for Emery to have a left footer there to not have to change the rehearsed patterns of play to get out from the back that we've been using when Torres plays in there. The midfield will be interesting too, we've seen McGinn struggle playing further back but with Kamara and Tielemans out it's more than likely it'll be a Luiz and McGinn pair in the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Sensible. Carlos there as cover for both left and right centre back. Cash to bomb forward when he can , Digne to offer a bit more solidity and the 4 attacking players to go for it and cause havoc.
