PSV at home, Champions League, 26th November

[frank the tank]

Every game is huge now. This is an opportunity to hopefully find some form. Just got to hope that we don't have injuries.

I'd be tempted to play Gomez if fit. And if he does, **** Ibou onto the bench for a while.

Also, Ramsay at right back maybe?? I'd also start with Kerkez at left back. Not because he is playing good, but because Id like to see Robbo play at West Ham.

Becker

Ramsay Gome Virgil Kerkez

Szoboslai Gravenberch Jones

Chiesa Isak Ekitike

Is Ramsay in the CL squad? Not sure he is

[DerKrampus]

We'll win as we seem to be doing better in Europe.

When Slot mentioned RB's in his post match interview he talked about he had no option and had to play a midfielder at RB again and Gomez wasn't fit after not training all week.....he completely ignored that he had a RB on the bench.

I think Ramsey is getting the Chiesa treatment from this arrogant Dutch prick and being punished for playing well in a cup game. Zero chance he gets any game time (if he's even in the squad)

[frank the tank]

Will be ****in nuts if he starts with Szoboslai at right back again imo

[Harv]

You already know that's what's happening

This guy is cooked. He's making those stupid irrational decisions a manager makes when they're scrambling to save themselves. Overlooking the bleeding obvious that's right in front of them.

At least he's stopped blaming the players now and has said its all on him being ****.

We'll see if he changes things up as a result or we go with the "just do what we're doing better" mantra that he's been pushing

[The_weatherman]

Doesn't matter who we put out, the tactics are off and he's not revving players up, but if I could choose:

Alisson
Ramsay - Gomez - Virgil - Kerkez
Endo - Gravenberch
Chiesa - Szoboslai - Rio
Isak

[Doc_Piptorious]

Becker

Ramsay Gome Virgil Kerkez

Szoboslai Gravenberch Jones

Chiesa Isak Ekitike

Would go with the same team.


Do think we will get a win and a good one against PSV. European footy is very much suiting us at present so might be a nice short reprieve from what is being served up domestically.

[Harv]

Ramsey and Chiesa to have stormers and then get punished by Slot for making him look like an idiot as per usual

This says Ramsay isn't eligible for the CL games

So why didn't he play some part against Forest?

[frank the tank]

Ahhhh good point. I thought he might be young enough.

I'd go with Endo at right back then. It will probably be Szoboslai or Jones there but I'd really like to see a midfield trio of Gravenberch Szoboslai and Jones given a try - with them keeping that midfield then for a few weeks if they all play well. With McAllister given a stint on the bench for a while.

Endo would get rinsed at RB, he hasn't got that pace. Jones is not much faster, but I'd have him there over Dom, just purely because he brings more to the plate in midfield than Curtis.

Salah will be rested for this game, Isak will get some more minutes, Chiesa might get a start over Gakpo, and I think Ekitike will play from the wing, just not sure which side Chiesa and Ekitike will be.

Ali
Jones Konate VVD Robbo
Dom Grav Macca
Chiesa Isak Ekitike

With Endo coming on to rest one of the midfield trio (assuming we are actually winning for a change) and Gomez ready can come on for another, with CJ moving into midfield.

How long is Wirtz out for? No chance of him coming on for this one?

Slot said Wirtz should be available after Forest, so assuming he's in the squad for this one

Not necessarily for this game but if we are playing Szoboszlai at RB I'd be tempted to bring Endo into the midfield just to have a destroyer in there, particularly in games away from home in the short term in the hope that we wouldn't get ripped apart so easily...
