Line us up until Varane's return
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
I’d be happy with that under the circumstances.
This please
It’s not rocket science and no need to play players out of position when there are good options who haven’t let us down this season.
Shaw is our best full back and offers a lot in the attack which is really needed atm. Malacia was awful last game. Shaw should start.
Lindelof has started 13 games this season and we won 11 of them. He should start. Maguire has been good lately. He should start.
I think AWB has been better than Dalot and should start.

Shaw could return tomorrow
Don't think he did no?
He was paired up with Lindelof for one game (Burnley) when no other CBs were available.
Depends on whether Malacia can put the nightmare of the Sevilla game behind him and bounce back otherwise it's Shaw any day of the week for that LB spot. I still think it will be Maguire and Lindelof at centre back but having Shaw in there wouldn't be too bad.
The last match i remember Maguire and Lindelof starting was I think against West Ham in the cup and it was horrible, not so much the defending but the passing out from the back and the way the crowd were getting at them. I've said it before but those two just seem to drag each other down when they play. Hope to god they both start playing well because we need them.

No white text?
DDG, AWB, Dalot, Maguire, Shaw, Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno, Antony, Martial, Weghorst
I doubt he will ever play again.
If we seriously can't field a 110million combo for a short period of games, why are they even here?
No. That would be horrendous. AWB is not a CB. Not nearly good enough in the air, often positionally poor, zero experience. We don’t need to get overly creative here. Maguire/Lindelof with Shaw. That will be enough to beat NF.
In fairness in the West Ham match i quoted someone on here defended them and said we had no midfielders who were showing for the ball and that was part of the reason they were so crap in possession- which, actually is a fair point. Casemiro being back might help them because he never hides from receiving the ball but it's still such a step down from Martinez.
We'll see anyway
. Hopefully we'll manage and Forest and Sevilla are hardly elite opposition so there shouldn't be any excuses.Think that's Dalot settled as the LB?
Wonder whether Shaw comes in at CB or the pairing is left as is and Shaw back in his actual position.

Don't think we see the captain in this team again.
Our backline established itself yesterday.

Shaw's the modern John O'Shea who can cover for CB. Finally we found one again. Maybe he can even cover for De Gea too.
Ha? Assume you’re joking. No disrespect to the big man but Shaw is miles better.
Position-wise, but yeah Shaw is better. Haven't scored at Anfield or won as much though.
