bert19 Report post Posted December 6, 2021 Much as we will surely have to ring the changes here, we do really need to win too. We know what nasty surprises the Last 16 draw can bring up for teams that finish second and I'd say it's pretty much certain that Juve will beat Malmo (and fairly heavily), so we'll need three points. More importantly though, I don't think we want to follow a hard week that ended with a loss with another defeat. Get back on the horse as fast as possible. The injuries obviously play their part and it's also a good opportunity to get minutes into some legs (Someone pack hot water bottles for Pulisic). I'd go something like this: Kepa Azpi Christensen Sarr Reece Mount Barkley Saul Pulisic Werner Lukaku With the obvious aim of hooking at least a couple of them after 60-65 mins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My Blood Is Blue Report post Posted December 6, 2021 We need to rest those that need it, but as @bert19 says, we can't risk not getting the 3 points, so still needs to be a reasonably strong team. I would go with something like this: Kepa Azpi - Christensen - Sarr James - RLC - Mount - Pulisic Barkley - Lukaku - Werner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may warm up a bit later this week, but we need to make sure that they have a decent warmup. Hmm...when I put the dogs out first thing here it was -17C........dry cold mind you so a bit more bearable.....sun up and clear cloudless BLUE sky now..still cold!

I think you meant Kovacic... who having trained yesterday with a smile on his face (according to TT), has now tested positive for Covid and is isolating.
