Wood will be looking to get close to Coops today.

Yes Struijk maybe in the middle or Ayling & Dallas go narrow if we play three at the back.

Not much experience on the bench at all & unless one of the kids come up with something remarkable given the opportunity we have no game changers.

Too many sick notes . The bench is weaker than we had in the championship.

Klich & Firpo both got Covid

How the heck have these two got it, I hope they've had their jabs.

It's spreading like wildfire atm, why am I not surprised :roll:

Junior Firpo has tweeted that he has also tested positive and has had a tough few days but he is well now and isolating

I'm okay with that lineup, it should be enough. I can't remember for sure, but hasn't Klich already had Covid?

Possibly but in future years we might look back and 3 or 4 of the youngsters are starting regularly for us. Overload the squad with back-up players and the youth will never get a chance. Overload the squad with starting standard of players and you risk an unhappy squad with too many players missing out. Much better to have hungry youngsters on the bench who are eager to impress and aren't going to be knocking on the manager's door and asking why they aren't playing and demanding a transfer.

You can have it more than once, he's probably had the Alpha now has the Delta I guess.. We will run out of Greek letters by the time it's over..

Our starting eleven ought to be enough to see us past this game.

I'm very happy to see Llorente back, and thrilled to see Rodrigo, Harrison, Raphinha, and Bamford on the pitch at the same time. The more those four can work together and get used to one another the better off we'll be. If they click today we could batter these guys.
