    Interesting. It can be free scoring and 1 guy that stops the flow can be the difference. I'm sticking with 1 defender.

    I think there’s room for a silky defender in a 5 a side team

    Solid at the back but got the skills to knock it about a bit with the odd burst forward but defensive solidity guaranteed

    VVD can do that, who is a CB but he’s not exactly a Phil Jones type of blockhead clear it into row Z type...man got a bit of magic at times.

    Mane would be naughty in a 5 a side team...he’s feisty pacey and skilful


    Ederson(self explanatory)
    VVD
    De Bruyne(loves a tackle and we kno the rest)
    Mane
    Rashford(skills, pace, clinical, stamina)

    McCarthy
    Bertrand
    Armstrong
    Redmond
    Ings


    Comfortable 16th that I reckon.

    Wijnaldum would be good but Bobby can put the graft in.

    Yup...can’t trust Lloris to save the low drives to the corners

    Kane had a little cameo in goal for us in a UEFA cup tie bowt 7 years ago...was decent...defo good with his feet...something else Lloris is not very good at

    Everyone going ederson or Allison, but really all you need for a 5 a side keeper is a good shot stopper who’s used to facing a lot of shots.

    Schmeichal, fabianski, Leno, Dubravka etc...

    Leno
    Ceballos
    Ozil
    Pepe
    Auba

    Laca and Luiz have got rocket feet though so would make the subs of my 5 a side team. Martinelli/Saka not bad shouts either due to skills, energy and ability to hold the ball under pressure... maybe one of these two to replace Pepe.

    Both are good shot stoppers.

    There are keepers who face a lot more shots with better save % afaik. Which is what you need for 5 a side.

    It’s not like 11 a side playing for one of the best teams who dominate possession and a keeper needs great concentration, quick off his line, good distribution etc.
