    This but with Mazraoui on left. He was brilliant there last week.

    Garnacho needs a refresh.

    Hoping today we can play some balls in behind for Hojlund
     
    Still don't see why we need two Keepers on the bench but that's a expected line up.
     
    If we win today we’ll climb up to…oh wait hahaha

    At least we’re closing the gap with 3 pts separating 3rd - 10th!!

    I think there have been three times that I could have got a full XI. Then there's a "leak" or post about 10 mins before lineups close which I stupidly listen to then ends up that the original lineup I was going to submit would have been right.

    I was 18th but after today I'll probably be 30th
     
    Glad to see Diallo can play. And also Garnacho dropped deservedly. Good team.

    Well, we could overtake Bournemouth and Newcastle (if they lose) if we hammer Leicester, but we've only scored more than 2 teams in the league this season, so unlikely.

    What's the best source for predicting team line ups, or do you just use your own powers of deduction?!
     
    This team or minor variations of it is the only way we have a respectable finish this year. Casemiro/Ugarte has to be the midfield, De Ligt/Martinez need to build their partnership and IMO Amad has to keep starting. Can’t drop Mazraoui either as he’s our most consistent performer.

    That’s not saying I don’t want Amorim to come in and immediately go to the 3-5-2/3-4-3 because I actually do, I just think that is gonna lead us to having to sacrifice any sort of decent league position because it’s an entirely new tactic for most of these players. It’s necessary though because I think he NEEDS to know who can play it and who he can rely on before the summer window

    Is there a logic to having 2 goalkeepers on the bench over a youth player like Amass for example.

    I've been wondering about that myself.

    I don't know if other teams do it, but you'd think with the size of squads nowadays you wouldn't 'waste' a spot like that every game. There's rarely games when you need to bring on one sub keeper - but of course you should always have one there as it does happen at times. But two? How often do you get onto your third keeper in a game - it's rarer than once every two seasons I'd have thought? So it seems preparing for a highly unlikely worst case scenario rather than using all those opportunities to have an extra player that you might well use - or at least giving youngsters valuable matchday experience.

    Gut instinct usually. Managers tend to have their favourites and Ten Hag didn't rotate that much. Had been decent from 18/19 onwards but this season has been dire as I've tried listening to other people more but they usually do even worse.

    I was wondering if it's to do with what else Tom Heaton can offer on the bench in terms of experience or coaching. He's also supposedly an extremely popular member of the squad and quite the character. That's the best I can come up with
     
    Enjoying dinner in the Redcafe before the match.
    Not a prawn sandwich in sight
    Quick chat with Alex Stepney.
    A different experience compared to my first visit 59 years ago.
     
    Got a feeling for a 2-1 win now Amad, our best attacker this season, is starting. Think he will score again and go for Hojlund the other, from an Amad assist of course.
