Looks the same to me except Barry for Beto and Grealish for Alcaraz.

How can it be the same as last time when there are different players?

I meant with Garner left back, and the midfield with nothing again.

 

[quasi modo]

Awful selection, once again.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Whose playing left back?

Garner. Our best player from Monday at LB (not much competition).

 

[D410]

Garner should not be starting left back, completely wrong.

 

[Sona]

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

 

[Zatara]

KDH needs to do far better than he did against Leeds if hes the furthest midfielder forward. Didn't get into the game at all until he was pushed further back 2nd half.

Beto can have no complaints about losing his spot, let's see if Barry can take this early chance given to him.

If Moyes sees KDH as a 10 & Gana + Iroegbunam as a good pairing then...

...speechless

You could shift KDH a bit deeper just to match Brighton's three centrally. To me it is either going to be 4-5-1 with Grealish and Ndiaye coming in from the touchline or they both start central in a 4-3-2-1.

I don't think bar left back this team looks terrible and I'd be disappointed to lose this. Feels like both teams might cancel each other out a bit and would both be reasonably happy with a 1-1 so think the game will be of a cautious nature for the most part.

Could try Beto there?

If Anzou is not fit, what’s the option? KDH I guess, but would need to be 3 at the back with wing backs.

Someone HAS to be out of position when no fit RBs or LBs in the squad at all.

Barring a shaky start, Garner was the very least of our worries the other day. Good to see Grealish and Barry in.

Even if Dibling was here and settled in, I can’t see Moyes starting with KDH alongside Gueye. Seems a bit too progressive for him. Just got to hope Tim got his nerves out of the way at Leeds and he can remember what to do with a footy today.

To me its a second game were throwing.

Multiple players out of position & poor pairings all over the pitch.

Could see this being a very heavy loss.

Perhaps Moyes thinks if we lose a 2nd game he'll get what he wants for transfers.

That rumour is up there with whoever it was 18 months ago adamant that Branthwaite was joining RS.

Not sure what people get out of it putting stuff like that on X and other socials.

Anyone that would “like” to see McNeil at LB today is a sadist.
