    Lucas will add some defensive balance to our midfield. He'll also be standing in front of Lukaku stopping him being able to bring the ball down on his chest. He's done it effectively in the past against big strikers and nullified their threat quite effectively <ok> Also with Lucas in the anchor role Can will have the freedom to go forward more and I reckon he'll be more of a threat in and around the box today.

    Lucas doesn't concern me, Can moving forward does.

    Lucas is our best option given our midfield injuries

    Why? He's really good at carrying the ball forward, once he picks up a bit of momentum he becomes hard to stop when running with the ball. Can see him winning a few fouls in dangerous positions and creating space for others when he starts dribbling further up the pitch.

    Because he's too slow and isn't effective at the press. Plus, as you say, he lives a foul (as does Lucas).

    I think Winja is under pressure to perform today. He's the one that's going run that midfield. He's the only one that will press, he's the only one that will create or look to score.

    People always make too much of young lads getting their debut. More often than not, they have a great first game. Their form drops off once expectation hits

    Not scoring goals alone, we must learn to keep them out at our end.

    He'd have had one if he remembered Nivea goes on your skin, and not on your boots.

    This lad Pennington is a CB, so they are going with a central three

    Only our resident blues would really know that, but they are probably camped on the utd board for now unless they score or win :bandit:

    Well the second question re Lucas is which of the subs will be used to replace him once the ref makes it clear his next foul will be a second yellow.

    We really need Couts to regain his form today and Lovren , Matip to have really good games.

    Maybe not, just assumed they were since (a) I've never heard of them, (b) they're so young and (c) the pundits are making a big deal out of it.

    If prefer them not to be debutants tbh

    I should imagine if that happened can would be shifted to his place so would it be Woodburn?

    Can see Coutinho having to constantly drop deep to collect the ball and provide some creativity which will then leave us short up top and having to pass the ball backwards. Not convinced at all with our midfield three - too safe and defensive - especially at home.
