would BDB better be suited in his natural position ? given that we don't have much cover for Schar and Lascells
I wouldn't be averse to playing Livramento in front of Trippier and switching Almiron to left and moving Gordon upfront.
Not criticising Burn at all, he’s an integral part of one of the best defences in the league, I just think Saka will be too tricky for him.
Decent option I think - he's played wing back for Southampton previously, so should be comfortable there. Thought Miggy looked decent on the left on Weds. Also keeps Wilson fresh for Dortmund
I think Howe has proven he can play a team full of full backs, so there is room for Tripps, Tino, Krafth, Dummy, Hall, Burn, Manquillo, Ritchie, Targett and Murphy when they are all fit.
Against Man U we played 451, with wingers on their “right” side and Big Joe as a real, destructive CDM with Longstaff and Willock license to roam. I thought it really freshened us up and looked good. But it was only Man U, so…….
So, telling him he’s not good enough, isn’t criticising him? Remind me not to do anything wrong when you’re around.
