Skippy at right back. He wants them to play in midfield so put a midfield player in there. Skippy will give it everything , can tackle and pass the ball.

Not sure why people are dismissing Emerson so much. He wasn't good against Wolves but largely in attack. Skipp offers no more in attack and is less agile. Also I think people underestimate the role of a fullback. The idea of playing someone completely new to the position is a massive risk. I can't see why we would experiment when we're not in great form either. I appreciate everyone has their opinions but this right back midfielder suggestion is a bit mad to be honest.

Skipp at RB?

Heart says 3-1, head says 2-1

Score could be anything, the way Ange plays with all out attack with no defence, giving up trying to predict scores..

Sorry but "let's not play our backup RB and instead shoehorn a different player in there" is madness.

I hope Bissouma is on it today

I hope Bissouma is on it today

He needs to be. Needs to pull his socks up and get back to dominating those midfield battles.

Been waiting for a proper chance for Kulu Son and Werner as the front three.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Lankshear & Donley won't be on bench, both starting for the U21's but Scarlett might be

We need a few players to get back up to previous levels. Maddison and Bissouma are the obvious ones because they make things a whole lot easier for each other. If one of them isn't 'on it', they both suffer.

list what attributes porro brings to a team and then list what attributes emerson brings, is there any overlap whatsoever other than they are both considered to be "right backs"? we are constantly talking about wanting players of a certain profile so i don't see why it's madness to consider other options who are closer in terms of being a stylistic fit. you think of emerson as a right back but in this team he's a better cb than a rb, though still not ideal as his lack of ability on the ball is a problem no matter where you put him.

i expect emerson will start, hopefully he has a better game than he did last time out.

Because our full backs are number 10s. They’re key parts of the attack and the system falls apart if they can’t attack.

I’d put Deki there.

Great to see Udogie confirmed in the lineup.

 

[Fredo]

If only kulusevski was agile and faster. Would be so much better overall in the attacking phase

What do your feet say? I thought optimism rose.

Speed , a good shot, a lot of attacking vibes, sounds more like deki then skipp ;p

 

[Fredo]

I really hope we play Son out on the left and Werner up top.
