Trying to see how we’ll line up. Possibly gray left back then spence right wing, richarlison left with bergvall in the 10?
Best we can offer is LWB coming off the bench to score a 98th minute winner please log in to view this image
I hope players have not been rushed back to the starting XI too soon (had enough of that) . That aside, expecting a loss but front up to keep the overall GD decent.
I think it might be a 4-4-2 diamond. Bentancur at the base, Sarr at the top, Bergvall and Gray in the middle. Leaves Kolo Muani and Richarlison running the channels, which could work. Quite a Brentford formation, if true.
This shouts a pretty loud acknowledgement that we've lost this game anyway, so might as well use the opportunity to experiment.
Google says 352 with Gray at CB and Porro & Spence as WBs ...which usually confirms what the formation isn't
Palhinha and Kudus on the bench. Feels like an acceptance that we’re getting beaten and so save two of our best outfield players for the weekend. Simons still not starting also shows Frank really doesn’t rate him. Played two 10s vs Arsenal and said it was a choice between him or Odobert () and now can’t start even when Odobert isn’t starting, in a formation yet again playing a number 10. Utter waste of a signing already, once Kulu’s back I’d imagine there’s a good chance he could play in the 10 and if Maddison does return before the season finishes, we’ll be loaning Simons back to Leipzig in the summer.
