Chris Richards played Wednesday night in Ohio & the majority of the game tonight for Hoffenheim in Germany coming on as an injury sub. Less than 48 hours between games. So I dont wanna hear it with Gio, Cuti & Emerson. They test negative, they play. End of story. If Richards can do it in under 48 hours, they can do it in under 72 hours.

Lloris
Emerson Dier Romero Reguilon
Hojbjerg Skipp
Lo Celso Ndombele Lucas
Kane

Gollini, Sanchez, Davies, Rodon, Winks, John, Bergwijn, Markanday, Scarlett

*bench is assuming Tanganga & Doherty are also out as rumored.

Lo Celso is a car crash at right wing, we’ve tried that numerous times, never works.

If the rumours are true that Son and Bryan have covid we have to play Bergwijn or even Sessegnon on the left, we’re that short there now unfortunately.

Those are both good players, even if not really match fit. I don’t really buy into the view that we need tons of options in every position. That’s not realistic and the system (with squad limits) is setup to prevent it - otherwise city, Chelsea, and Newcastle (soon?) would just have 35 man squads. Being truly short would be playing an academy player with no real backup on the bench. We will have a respectable XI for sure.

Sessegnon's still injured unfortunately, but wouldn't be surprise at a Dele-Kane-Lucas front three

Blimey just seen Bruce presser. To say he was rattled understatement of the year. There’s absolutely no way his full focus could be on this game. So many distractions for him and players this week. Players knowing most likely it’s his last game. I think it could negate the bouncing crowd.

I like the way he dug out the press. Seems like he’s going nowhere for a while.

Would prefer to see SB play rather than Dele, when SB runs out of gas give Markanday a run.

To be brutal would even prefer us to play 3 - 5 - 2 with Kane and Moura upfront than revert to Dele who offers nothing but memories sadly.

Can't make out what your saying, Lo Celso car crash at RW , then you mention 2 unfit players on the left and no Lo Celso where he generally plays for the argies !

I mean yeah, the vaccine doesn't stop you getting it, but should (hopefully) stop you getting really sick.
The problem is that you often feel very groggy with cold and listlessness for some weeks even after covid so any athlete is going to take a few weeks to get back to fitness.

Do we have anyone else? Bergwijn just returned to training yesterday. Sessegnon is still out. Clarke?

Feel for him. Fans, media & new owners have been digging him out all week saying he won’t be in the job for this game & Graeme Jones would. Fast forward, Stavely & her husband dont know what they are doing, have been rejected by 3 managers thus far(Cinte, Rodgers & Gerrard) & still haven’t appointed anyone for the footballing structure so they release a cookie cutter statement saying he’ll be in charge for the game leaving no clarity on his future. It’s like it’s just minute to minute now with them. And with all the media’s questions after spending the week sacking him, id be a bit rattled too.

Yes we’ve tried Lo Celso at right wing it has never worked and he’s looked poor there.

I was talking more about Bergwijn and Sessegnon if just back to fitness chucking them straight in

No I see what you’re saying but I was pointing out I’d much prefer one of those on the wing even if they’re just back to fitness rather than Lo Celso

That's my point, why would you need to chuck them straight in when you have Lo Celso or do you think an unfit sessegon is better than a fit Lo Celso albeit a bit tired !

A just fit natural winger would be better than Lo Celso on the wing yes absolutely.

Lo Celso has to be no.10
