Doucoure looks like he will be available for Sat and also Gray, need both of those two back really missed them.

Midfield 3 is a must. We will lose against City anyway but if we hope to do anything, we have to play 3 in midfield.

Not going down that road mate Spurs beat them, they are not invincible and we have beaten them before.

Love your optimism GB but I’d bite your hand off for a draw. Think they’ll respond massively to the Spurs defeat and fear it could be a mauling.

Well we don’t need to play A big slow centre back as they don’t even play a striker.

It’s all about confidence building, if we play well and show a big improvement from the last game then this will be a bonus even if we don’t get 3 points,

wondering who might start v city. For me maybe

DCL
Ritchie VDB Gray
Allan Doucoure
Mykky Keane Branthwaite Coleman
Pick

thoughts.

{Ed0666's Note - that’s a great team but you forgot Iwobi mate ?

Keane is to slow to play against this lot, out of the two would rather play Holgate. His form is marginally better than Keane's. Play Coleman and he will get roasted.
About time Patterson was given a go, lad is quick and has bundles of energy. Please don't say it might be too big a game for him, he's represented Scotland and has played in old firm matches, he won't be scared of City.

Gordon has been our best player by a country mile and you leave him out? Alan has been crap and so has Keane and Coleman would get slaughtered.

Agree with most comments above. Not sure DCL warrants a place either.

Pickford
Kenny
Keane
Holgate
Mykky
Allan
Doucoure
DVB
Gray
Gordon
Richarlison.

Who plays the defensive midfield role if Allan doesn’t play?

14.) 22 Feb 2022

Doucoure and vdb.

Allan has never played the holding midfield role, he’s not disciplined enough and is like a headless chicken and is far too often way out of position, he doesn’t have the pace to recover when he goes awol and gives needless fouls as a result.
I’m not sure Doucoure or DVB are equipped to effectively cover role and we may have missed a trick in shipping Gbamin out on loan.
He was the only player who had played the role for previous club and country.
I appreciate he was more than unlucky with injuries but having regained full fitness could have done a job for us.
Just my opinion and obviously academic now.
