porro anyone other than dier even doris the tea lady. davies udogie
Bentancur (see same comments above for dier as for hojbjerg)
sarr Kulu
Johnson Veliz Son
Does it really make sense to move Son from a position where he is playing well to a position where he wasn’t. ? For an untried striker ?

Think Ange made a mistake against Wolves and went a bit square pegs in round holes. Like for like replacements for the missing players please.

Vicario
Porro 🤷 Davies Udogie
Sarr Bentacur
Kulu - Gio - Johnson
Son

Only position I'm not sure about is the partner for Davies in defence... can see arguments for and against any of the options.

I'd like to see the line-up below, but doubt we will.
Those bold and underlined are guaranteed to start (international break injuries notwithstanding)



Vicario
Porro
Philips Davies Udogie
Bentancur
Sarr Donley
Kulu Son Johnson

subs: Forster, Royal, Dier, Dorrington, Skipp, Gil, Hojbjerg, Veliz, Lo Celso

Pretty sure you can put Davies on bold too.

Pinky's first game was Chelsea.

Bit of a fiesty game as expected, Romero probably gonna break somebody soon.

But yeah hopefully Bentacur is alright if he comes on.

Ange has to stick to his principles. The Wolves game was our most defensive display of the season. We sat back too deep, and that had a lot to do with Davies, Dier, and PEH. Sarr was played out of position, and Biss had a terrible game. He just looks low on confidence for some reason. So, maybe being forced to sit one out will help.

Lolo can play 60 mins I reckon. And will dictate our forward tempo. Lo Celso has to come in and play in the Maddison role. Give him a run of games to get match sharp again. At the very least, he has more attacking intent.

Anyone that thinks Ange won’t start Hojbjerg against Villa are going to be disappointed

I think it totally comes down to if he trusts that Bentacur is ready to start yet as PEH has shown he really struggles to play in the system as a starter (i have no issues bringing him on later in the game against tired legs)

Id much rather Start bentacur and haul him off at half time if hes struggling, than PEH starting and getting gassed out and we have to bring him off anyway (or we dont take him off and he cant close down or track his runners anymore)
