If Aznou and Coleman aren’t fit to start (despite both being on the bench), I personally would’ve gone with:
GK: Pickford
RB: Garner
LB: McNeil
CB: O’Brien
CB: Tarkowski
CM: Gueye
CM: Dewsbury-Hall
AM: Ndiaye
RW: Alcaraz
LW: Grealish
ST: Barry
Shocked at Garner staying in at left back honestly. McNeil would be a better option.
Aznou on the bench so hopefully he’s fit enough to play second half when it inevitably doesn’t work.
Enjoyed this. Would bump a couple around but sentiment and achievements spot on..
Lampard has done ok at championship level and I think respected the club enormously. Used that and the fans impact at GP.
Interesting re Silva. Grabbed him too...
1. Moyes 1 - overachieved (re: budget) most seasons for 11 years, which few managers ever do. Hated the 'knife to a gunfight' mentality, but to be fair, it was true, and his pragmatism was the basis for the overachievement. The football was dour...
Work backwards from the bottom:
We will finish above the three promoted teams (Burnley, Leeds and Sunderland). 20th, 19th, 18th.
We will finish above Wolves. 17th.
Brentford have lost their manager and some key players. 16th.
Bournemouth...
Decent first half. Overcame some early nerves and grew into the game.
Dewsbury-Hall looks like a shrewd signing and Barry has had a few decent moments.
Only square peg currently is the right wing position with both Alcaraz and then Ndiaye...
“He did well then, the young lad.”
“Yes, did really well, the young boy.”
The commentary team discussing former Barcelona and Bayern Munich left back, Adnan Aznou as though he’s just emerged from the U18’s!
