I don't think it should be but I wouldn't be surprised if its the Shakhtar starting XI that starts this one
Bissouma only didn’t start that game due to a knock. No way he doesn’t start imo if he’s fit. Given how incredible he’s been.I don't think it should be but I wouldn't be surprised if its the Shakhtar starting XI that starts this one
I hope so to, but I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise meBissouma only didn’t start that game due to a knock. No way he doesn’t start imo if he’s fit. Given how incredible he’s been.
Absolutely bang on the money
Vicario
Royal - Romero - Sanchez - Udogie
Bissouma
Sarr - Maddison
Deki - Kane - Son
It might be too early to start VDV. Plus, Sanchez did really well for the majority vs Barca and could earn a start.
Subs: Solomon, Perisic, VDV, Richy, GLC, Skipp, Porro, Forster, Davies

Personally I think Biss should be one of the first names on the team sheet based on pre-season
I get that, but we need to be mindful that we need some defensive balance from the 8. Perhaps skipp ahead of PEHBissouma was running rings round Barcelona’s midfield whilst PEH was hoofing rugby kick up and unders against Shaktar.
I'd take Sarr ahead of bothI get that, but we need to be mindful that we need some defensive balance from the 8. Perhaps skipp ahead of PEH
That's a good shout. The boy is going to be a box to box monster.I'd take Sarr ahead of both
We do now we have a manger who wants them to actually pass the ball and keep possessionThat's a good shout. The boy is going to be a box to box monster.
We have such good options in mf
So, what you are saying is, no-one has played more minutes than the barely played Hojberg?hojbjerg?
Played 45 Vs west ham
Played 45 Vs sailers
Played 90 Vs Shakhtar
didn't travel for Barcelona game.

Brentford also haven’t had the best pre-season. I can see 3 games they have played, lost two, drawn one.
That's a nice looking team.If Ange is brave? He goes with VdV, and a midfield three of Biss, LoCelso, Maddison. Son and Deki start with Kane, which gives us great options in Solomon/Richy/Perisic to come on for tired legs, both ours and theirs.

No, reality check: let's not throw in VdV. That would be madness.
Same back 4 as for Shakhtar. Davies is dependable and we know his fitness level, this is exactly the situation where you use him. VdV, meanwhile, has just walked through the door after having spent the summer in flip-flops.
