I say this slightly in jest but I wonder if it might be worth trying a few youngsters in this match and those against City and Liverpool.
I don't see us getting much from those 3 games so may as well blood some youngsters and rest some of the main squad.
We can then bring people back in for the Burnley and Sheffield Utd games as wins in those games would be enough for 5th.
Won't happen but feels like just continuing to rotate some either knackered or out of form players doesn't do much for us.
It's far from a foregone conclusion certainly and I realise I'm being very defeatist.Wouldn’t surprise me at all if we took 4 points from Chelsea and Liverpool. Chelsea have a ton of injuries (although of course Palmer misses the Arse and is back for us) and Liverpool’s season is going off the rails a bit.
Yep. We showed some decent fight against Arsenal so there's a chance we pick up a result or two we're not expecting yet. That spark from early season, or even the battling middle season during the injuries, seems have gone though.It's far from a foregone conclusion certainly and I realise I'm being very defeatist.
I just feel the steam has entirely gone out of our season at this point.
Kulu in middle and Johnson on the rightI will be controversial and say
1) Maddison should not start this game.
2) Son is NOT a number 9 and therefore Richarlison should start there. Put Son on the left of the 3.
They are 100% going to target us with corners etc.
Interesting to see if we change anything.

Yea I said this a few weeks back that Arsenal at home was our hardest game followed by city at home and that I felt confident we could get something away at Chavski & Lpool let’s see.Wouldn’t surprise me at all if we took 4 points from Chelsea and Liverpool. Chelsea have a ton of injuries (although of course Palmer misses the Arse and is back for us) and Liverpool’s season is going off the rails a bit.
Really mate? That fight back against the gooners didn’t seem to suggest that at all to me.It's far from a foregone conclusion certainly and I realise I'm being very defeatist.

Think most agree with this tbh mateI will be controversial and say

A fightback yes but still a poor performance overall. And a loss.Really mate? That fight back against the gooners didn’t seem to suggest that at all to me.
Poch said no players have recovered from their last game, they’re literally down to bare bones
Fair enough although set pieces aside I felt like we played pretty well tbh.A fightback yes but still a poor performance overall. And a loss.
It was certainly better than the recent nonsense but also not enough to make me confident in the next few games.
I agree with this 100%. If you look at the purple and gold "fans" on Twatter though (bellends like "Tottenham Away") you'd think all of our players are "shit", are on the beach, Ange needs to be sacked, Maddison is a rubbish chancer who needs to be sold, huge delight in Werner being injured.......I genuinely believe some of these people are mentally unwell and simply cannot cope with losing a derby match.Really mate? That fight back against the gooners didn’t seem to suggest that at all
