The January transfer window won’t be able to fix our problems, if we have a sub par festive period the damage will already be done.
Still needed either way. Trophies and future planning a must.

If Xhaka plyas CB again I’m gonna do another thing instead of seeing that.

Yeah I really, really don’t understand Xhaka at CB.
It basically feels like Holding and Xhaka are both injured.

I’m actually going to be really fucking annoyed if it’s a back three when that team sheet comes out…
Why is the match so early ffs? Will miss the first half due to work.
This game is a ripper for me, 2330

0530 here. PVR as usual.
Personally go for just two at the back, Skoratis and I’d go for that young lad Medley a game at Center Back, you have to throw these lads in the deep end if you want to see them get better. I’d go Lichtsteiner at RB and Monreal at LB. I’d give Torreira a rest, if he gets one more yellow card then he’s out for the Brighton game. Plus he looked tired agaisnt Spurs. I’d go Xhaka and Guendouzi in the Center Mid. Ramsey, Ozil, Iwobi or Miki and Laca up front. I’d give Auba a rest today, he looked tired agaisnt Spurs too.

Hopefully it’s Elneny at CB, not Xhaka
4-3-3 probably. Monreal and Sokratis at CB

Yeah, maybe.
Just noticed Torreira is on the bench. I get the logic, could do with a rest. But I wouldn’t be against him coming on and picking up a soft yellow. If he picks up a yellow v Brighton on Wednesday then he’ll miss the Liverpool game
