We had a period in the first half of about 25-30 minutes where we played absolutely exceptional football. It was what we were missing last season and really was refreshing to see. Unfortunately,

All I can think about is the PK. If you fail to take such chances, you can't complain about the outcome. We HAVE to buy a proven goalscorer before the window shuts.

Caicedo is the same absolute shit buy as Mudryk based on one flash season and some perceived potential

I'd play this but add in Disasi and put Colwill at LB.

Need to handle their route one bull shit.

Given how much time Santos has had to learn the system and how well he did in preseason I would be tempted to give him the nod over Lavia.

Caicedo though should defo slot in right away.

I think Conor Gallagher did exceptionally well against Liverpool and he should be retained. He is going to be a great player. My Team would be:

              Sanchez

James   Silva   Colwill   Chilwell

               Caicedo 

         Enzo         Conor

Madueke         Jackson      Mydruk

These starting lineups look unbalanced to me; OK to use in away games against the top teams, or City, but just not enough attacking players against smaller outfits.

Enzo is quality coming from behind. You move him up and you run a risk of making him ineffective. Lavia never caught my attention as someone I should be watching, but we need a player who can linkup and/or join the attack, otherwise we will struggle with goals.

Now for the love of me, please get it through your thick heads! 😆 STERLING WILL PLAY! It's easier if you just accept that reality. I mean it will save you a lot of useless posts listing players who will never start.

Dude you didn't watch the LIverpool games as he was way better ahead then behind.

behind: he's always facing the opposition goal.  (helps with his best quality: passing as he has full view of movements in attack)

Ahead: has his back to the opposition goal often. (he will have to often deal with pressure at his back and will need to turn to make a pass/assist).

Different characteristics. Enzo is Enzo, not KDB.

I did watch the pool game. I did watch the pool game. 😄

Now if you want Enzo in a CAM position... then I'm out of the discussion, sorry.

Shamelessly self-replying here. 😅

Sorry, I did not want to sound definitive with the above point given it's just my opinion. Don't like the idea of moving a deep-lying mid, who has passing as his main virtue, up the pitch to be closer to the attackers. I typically see this going the other way around; like Fabregas, who moved from CAM to deep-lying mid.

Of course, it can and does happen in specific circumstances, like in a particular game where the opposition allows your midfield line to step up (at times against Liverpool). I'm referring to actually making his position a CAM as some of the proposed lineups posted here might suggest.

That I'm not a fan of--rarely (never?) seen it work: you don't gain the CAM you need, and you lose the quality deep-lying mid you had.

Yeah Lavia won't be ready so from my predicted lineup I put Conor instead of him. 

He is ready, keep Conor warming the bench to avoid any injury before we sell him.
