NikkiCFC 8,331 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Barkley always steps up when you need him. I'd trust him in pivot over Saul and Mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kante 1,643 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Mendy Dave AC Sarr James RLC Saul CHO Puli Lukaku Werner This is not a game where we want to lose anymore players. Biggest problem is that we don't really have many options. For me, Silva should be rested 100%, Kai should not be risked as he should be starting as the False 9 in all the games that matter and I would not play Alonso in this game either as if he goes down we have no LWB; so I would actually use this as an opportunity to try and CHO there to see if he can work there. Personally, I am not a fan of using James either but not sure we can get away with not using him. Saul gets another start just simply because I can't see RLC and Barkley playing CM together and it may be wise to rest Mount as well to prevent injury. Puli over Ziyech to get some minutes in his legs. Edited December 7, 2021 by King Kante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 As Nikki has alluded to, at this point I would trust Barkley to do a better job as the #6 than Saul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,936 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 This is probably going to be a dreadfully boring game with so many changes combined with the frigid weather and the long trip over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Dang that looks like an absolutely terrible lineup. Expect Saul to be just as out of place at LWB as at CM, Werner and Lukaku being unable to string to passes together and missing a few open goals. Will be a torrid watch for sure. Let's get this over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
