Szoboszlai is suspended.. so Chiesa may actually start a league game.. Can't think of anyone else to play right side.

Frimpong will be available as will Robbo and that completes the list of available outfield players.

[jozza800]

Surely Chiesa starts this one. Surely...

I was thinking Frimpong, but would he start after being out so long? If he did start ahead of Chiesa on the right, You know theres some serious dislike from Slot towards him.

He probably will. What's the fascination with Chiesa?

Never known a player to have done so little yet talked about like a legend, it's rather interesting.... even his song great song but jesus it's like he's been here 10 years scoring 15 a season.

I don't get it either. There must be some magic glasses for watching football that I don't have.

Personally I'd like to see him get a PL or CL start. We were told (at start of last season?) he is a marvellous talent who just needed to get fit and up to speed then he'd be unleashed. Or so we assumed, what little time he has had has shown the talent and workrate is there. Its now or never, he's trained hard and not complained publicly at least. He appears to have more tools than Gakpo but he's not dutch......

I don't think anyone believes he is the second coming of Messi or anything.

However I think most believe in meritocracy to some degree or other.

He's had the late goals against Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, the assist for Gakpo in the 2-1 loss to the Mancs, he set up two for Hugo Ekitike in the Carabao Cup when we beat Southampton and he also had the goal-saving (job-saving?!?!?!) block that would have been a Sunderland winner, having sprinted 70 yards, where nobody else busted a gut.

These are enough for fans to feel he should be getting some more minutes than what he is, especially when lads like Salah and Gakpo have had poor games and continued to start, whilst Federico is often limited to scraps, relatively speaking.

Using him more often would also help with rotation, preventing burnout later in the season - so I think fans want to see him start - not to mention that he can't be much worse than some of the performances we've seen this season, which, thankfully, most lads have been turning around over the last 6 or 7 fixtures - so credit where due to the playing staff and to Slot.

We'll never know if he's as good as the songs suggest as he never plays.

Alisson
Frimpong Konate VVD Kerkez
Grav Jones
Chiesa Wirtz Rio
Ekitike

Thats my 11.

Starting Rio and he knows he'll only play 90 minutes if we are cruising, so he needs to make the most of this opportunity.

MacA on the bench offers some strength from it with a depleted squad.

Bradley & Gakpo both face late fitness tests for the weekend.
Maybe good for some late minutes. But we've 7 others out.

Starting Frimpong who probably won't be good for 90 but he needs to get some minutes at rightback, and no better time than the present.

Subs: Giorgi, Bradley, Ramsay, Lucky, Robbo, Nyoni, MacA, Gakpo & Danns/Cannonier

Laffey seems to be doing well this season by some reports/stats.
So a spot on the bench if Gakpo/Bradley/others aren't available.

31 appearances
858 minutes
4 goals
5 assists
28 minutes per appearance on average.
Goal or assist per 95 minutes.

He's produced when he's played.

[jozza800]

Read somewhere that Konate didn't train. Might mean Endo in at the back or Nallo in for 4 minutes before his red card...

Agreed, which makes it all the more baffling that he hasn't played more often.

Endo is out already may mean Grav at the back and Macca in the DM role
