Might RDZ be trying a three at the back formation? A fluid 3-5-2 might be worth a giggle

This is what I am expecting
When better to blood new players than when neither a 20-0 win nor a 0-20 defeat will affect our league position? Oh and we have already qualified for Europe and need to find out quickly how many of the squad are up to it against decent competition.
Actually, your question strikes me as one of the most surprising I have read on here a long while. I'm surprised. There, I said it.
If their fatigue levels are high according to the sports scientist then there is a risk of serious injury. De Zerbi was saying March’s level were a concern, he came on via Everton and did a Hamstring. If one the players today tears a hamstring (for example) then that messes with their pre-season and could impact their readiness for next season.

As we have seen in recent games, it doesn't really matter how they line up as any of them could be the furthest forward at some point in the game.

All I can suggest is maybe De Zerbi doesn't want to qualify for Europe.

3 at the back experiment? I know it won't happen but I really don't see a tired Groß at fullback———————-Steele—————-
Veltman—-Webster—Colwill—Groß
——-Mac Allister——-Ayari———-
Buonanotte—-Undav———-Enciso
——————Ferguson—————-

Yes! I still have my very own conspiracy theory! I had feared that it had only lasted for the 24h after I introduced myself on here, but there's at least still one brave person carrying the torch. I salute you, please found some fanclub dedicated to me.

I know that RDZ keeps persevering with Buonanotte, but to me he still never looks quite worthy of a start. His influence on a game, judged on what we've seen thus far, is invariably minimal

We can’t both be Swansman can we ? That would be weird
I thought he did ok and was unlucky v City.
Does look a bit lightwight but still very young.

Preseason starts today. Obviously there's gonna be some experiential selections.
Having said that, I don't expect RDZ or the players to want anything other than a win today. We have an obligation to give Villa a game and give Spurs and Brentford a chance

It’s probably
Spurs have been getting their chances from the Refs this season. f*** them.
Don't underestimate the reach of Swansman.....We can’t both be Swansman can we ? That would be weird

Line up is clearly more evidence of our unnatural obsessive desire to regulate Leeds United
