    Edwards it’s clear was more for the future. Wood is just not good enough and Taylor seems to have fallen out of favour with Martin

    But yeah his defensive lineups/sub (or lack of subs) is bizarre

    Didn’t we go with two full backs against Arsenal? Saka is a great player but Salah is better.
    My only thought is that RM thinks that Fraser is the only person who can match Salah for pace, but hasn’t stopped to consider that he isn’t a defender.
    I genuinely think that 3 CBs would be best for giving a wing back cover against Salah.

    Was it the Leicester game where Fraser made Fatawu look like, well Salah. Should be lols seeing how he does against actual Salah

    I think Taylor is being 'punished'. Martin made a big thing about one person not doing their job causing the Leicester winner and unless I'm mistaken he's not seen the pitch since?

    Truly baffling line up though

    I think it's a desperate last roll of the dice selection.

    On my way to the game. Obviously was expecting a bit of a thrashing anyway, but **** me it’s like he wants to be sacked. A back 4 with Fraser at LB against the most in form and lethal RW in the league playing for the best team in the league…What could possibly go wrong!? Also if we lose a CB to injury or card we are absolutely ****ed. Like, it’ll be more than 9 if Liverpool can be bothered.

    The element of surprise

    Think Martin sat down with a cup of tea with Pep Guardiola and got some ideas.

    With the way Salah goes to ground easy, I can see a couple of penalties today with wee man.

    Well he's finally lost it with that selection. Signs he might finally not be getting the full backing of the board? We can but hope. Anyway travelled a long way through a storm to get here. I just want to see some effort

    Suspect Yuki isn’t starting as he was out with Japan for the break.

    Oh you'll see some effort alright. Russell will no doubt be proud of the players.

    The funeral atmosphere will mean Yuki can have a nap on the bench.

    Sky coverage is really irritating, it’s nearly all bloody Manchester United plus the odd bit of Liverpool

    I think Slot mentioned us more than the pundits have.
