[Albion] Your team to get past Wolves



De Zerbi has ruled out Barco.
Not ready
He certainly won't be ready for Wolves but he needs to be fast-tracked for the remainder of the season surely. He's got to be a better bet than continually flogging Buonanote out wide where he rarely excels

Struggling to see how we put out a team that is able to compete for 90 minutes given the number of players returning from injury. Never mind if it goes to extra time.

Lallana/Lamptey/Moder/Ensico/Fati may need to play more minutes than we need.

Time for a couple of the kids to step up.

We are walking on glass. Fati could make the difference. As could Baleba, Barco and some of the even younger youngsters. Is peupion eligible for all our games? We also need the oldster hamstrings to hold up. Danny, Adam and Milner. And tariq’s.

JP, Evan and Enciso fully fit will score goals. Adingra, Pervis, Dunk and JPVH all key now. Maybe Webster and Igor too. WBG in Europe for now but essential for a good run in. And our MVP pascal gross who could probably cover for Steele and Bart if needed. He might have to at this rate.

Dont really care that much about wolves or prem now we are safe. All in on Europe. Can see Fati turning on the afterburners now.

Strong team please.

I really think we should prioritise the two cups now. I can’t see the reduced depth of the squad can realistically keep us in the European places, AND win the cup games. Personally I’d rather get to either cup final and finish 14th, than go out of both cups now and cling on to 9th.

Adingra

You’d think Adingra can play through the middle as a false 9? Keep Fati and Enciso on the bench. Can’t afford to lose them to excessive minutes too.

He came on as a sub against Stoke so he's definitely available for the FA Cup. He's not been named in the current Europa League squad but I believe he's eligible for the B list which can be added to up to 24 hours before a match.

Banking on all our injuries being back during February as a reason to not strengthen in Jan, seems like a gamble that has not paid off...

Having Pedro fit for Roma is more inportant than having Mitoma available IMO.

The return of Fati and Enciso gives us options out wide to cover the loss of Mitoma.

I think we'll play a false 9, and a false 10, and a false 8, and possibly false 7 and 11... we've that many injured 😬. The bench will be interesting too.

Personally, I wouldn't want a cup final that we limp into and have bugger all chance of winning. The likely candidates in those finals would need our full squad playing well. Unfortunately, I think we cooked. A top ten finish would be great considering the run of injuries we are dealing with. Seriously to come in top ten, after selling Mosies and Ali Mac pre season and then having half the first team snuffed out would be an excellent result. I mean FFS we can't even keep the replacements fit, I was just reading that Hinslewood is out for the season. On the positive side (clutching at straws here) some of these injuries might put off the poachers. My Main worry is keeping RDZ. YOu cannot tell me he doesn't look at other managers who also have injuries to deal with but have a much larger squad, with envy.

To be honest I don’t think we can win the FA Cup. I just don’t see anyone beating Man City.

I would rather prioritise the league over the FA Cup and try and get back into Europe next season.

Mate, I put a different team, but now we know about the injury, I can't improve on what you've got there.

Pervis as the left winger seems to me our most reliable option and we may have a more racey option like Enciso for the last 20 mins
