I think we will play 4-2-3-1 with Bergwijn centrally, he’s played there for PSV before

He’s quick and a good dribbler but also a good passer, he can make those through balls
I think that would be my preferred lineup. He'd be better at holding onto the ball and bringing others into play in the middle of the park than Son or Lucas would.

What has sessegnon done wrong? He cant even make the 9 man bench
With Aurier having freer role on the right and privilege of Sissoko covering for him Mourinho likes someone defensively solid on the left side to keep the shape. I think that spot is reserved for Davies and Tanganga until Sessegnon improves defensive game or we replace Aurier with someone who can defend better.

So... any ideas... is Salah a striker? It's important to know this in the Sheffield Utd v Spurs build up.

I like the line up, I think top four is long dead so I just want to see is go all out for some points. Looks an attacking line up - there’s been bigger all to enjoy this season in any regard so if we spent the rest of the season doing a bit of attacking I’ll take it.

My only concern with that lineup is no pace off the bench to shake things up against tired legs. Mourinho is putting all his bollocks in one basket the risk taking Portuguese buccaneer

I can see the thinking though, Line up in more of a 4-4-2, to pin back their wingbacks and overlapping centrebacks and take away a large part of their game.

But again, we shall see.......

If this was the title decider, fair enough, but it's a complete dead rubber. At least our game has some meaning.

Bit of a pisstake really.

Got a feeling Lo Celso is gonna get off the mark in the league tonight.

Definitely due a goal after his recent performances.

I’m so glad I won’t be putting the tv on until kick off- I can’t stand Redknapp and Carragher. Couple of dumbfucks that represent everything that’s wrong with modern punditry

That’s unless they don’t exploit the flanks and the lack of tracking back from Bergwijn and Lucas and focus in getting behind our right flank/Aurier.

But still, you’ve got to back ourselves.

They have a striker that hasn’t scored for 24 games. You can put money on him scoring today.

Hoping Son is in one of the No. 10 roles with Bergwijn on the left if we go with the 3241 shape. I think forcing him to stay wide limits him too much.
