[Albion] Team to play Arsenal (a)

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

If Bernardo is fit and available start Burn at left back but give Bernardo 20-30 minutes. The sooner we get him up to match speed/fitness the better.

 

[Hugo Rune]

My selection considerations

Our best results have been with 4-2-2-2
Bernardo fit and comes back into the side
Burn has done well enough at LB to get the nod in his preferred position
Arsenal can be got at trying to play out from the back, so two strikers back in
Alzate, Webster and Gross unlucky but there are plenty of games coming up


----------------Ryan
Montoya Dunk Burn Bernardo
------Stephens Propper
---Mooy ----------Trossard
-----Connolly Maupay

Button, Webster, Schelloto, Duffy, Alzate, Gross, Murray

Pretty much this.

But the bench is too defensive. I’d give Webster the day off to go through videos of his marking at Anfield. I’d have Ali J in the squad instead as I think he needs some game/bench time prior to his appearance vs Massive.

 

[symyjym]

Solly out for rest of year, Had operation on groin.

Too late!

Is this a wind up?

 

[BensGrandad]

I do not think that this will be the team but I would like to see:

Ryan
Montoya....Duffy....Dunk....Bernardo
Gross,,,Stephens...Propper...Mooy
Murray....Connolly

Subs: Button, Webster, Maupay Alzate Trossard Bissouma Jahakanbahsh or Burn​

Lol people still trying to predict Potters line ups.

I don't think anyone is making an actual predictions, we're just playing our own little game whereby we pretend we are football managers and have actual tactical acumen

 

[nicko31]

I'd think Dunk's price has gone up this season, I can't see us letting him go for less than £35m, look at Maguire's price!!

Reckon £35-40m now, still our best player

Fair enough.

Carry on..

 

[Sheebo]

Is this a wind up?

No, but 3-4 weeks is the rest of the year.

 

[Frankie]

Duffy in for Webster and Alzate in for Bissouma, other than that same as Liverpool.

 

[amexer]

Like Liverpool one upfront but Maupay supported from midfield by Trossard,Mooy and Alzate

 

[symyjym]

No, but 3-4 weeks is the rest of the year.

Thanks, at least there is a reason to his poor form.

.................... ....Ryan
................Duffy - Dunk - Webster
Montoya - Stephens - Propper - Bernardo
.................Mooy ...........Trossard
......... .............Maupay

Button, Burn, Groß, Alzate, Bissouma, Murray, Connolly

 

[ac gull]

Ryan
Webster Dunk Burn
Alzate Stephens Propper March
Mooy Maupay Gross

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Gross has to play because we only win when he starts. Arsenal have relatively little aerial threat so Duffy isn't essential here.

Ryan
Webster Dunk Burn
Alzate Stephens Propper Bernardo
Gross Maupay Trossard

 

[AZ Gull]

Is this a wind up?

Confirmed in the Argus.

 

[8049]

Thursday will be my first time seeing our first team under Potter live (went to Brizzle Rovers but that was a 2nd string plus AJ). Not many on here going for Trossard and Gross together. Is there a reason for that? Too similar or would it weaken us defensively? Otherwise, it seems to make sense to have our two most prolific chance creators starting.

 

[Springal]

Who is the scape goat while March is out? Still Montoya?

 

[casbom]

We looked more dangerous when we switched to 3-4-3 against Liverpool, so I wonder if he'll do that again?

So maybe:

..................…...Ryan
...........Webster - Dunk - Burn
Montoya - Stephens - Propper - Alzate
……..Gross....Maupay…..Trossard

Subs: Button, Bernardo, Mooy, Bissouma, Ali J, Connolly, Murray
