Strange selection. Unai obviously doesn’t trust Cash but this defensive formation is terrible. Has not worked before and not likely to today. I also think Ramsey should have been in for Tielemans

Im assuming JJ is not fit enough for 99 minutes.

Not necessarily. That’s our best side bar Torres and Digne, as evidenced by the Man City and Arsenal games.

Strange? That’s our best side bar Torres and Digne, and he can’t pick them.

I dont like Konsa at full back and as much as i like Cash, he’s be too inconsistent, so can understand this. Also they are bound to be physical so can see why Carlos is back in. I dont think Ramsey looked anywhere near fit enough on Tuesday to start today. So all in all i can understand the selection

I’m amazed people are unsure about the selection. I thought we were all pining for it?

Glad to see Tielemans get a start. Had a feeling Cash would be dropped.

Yep, I’ve been crying out for Cash to be back at right back and I was very confident Diably would find his form. What do I know. Fuck all it seems.

Don’t concede from set pieces and don’t make stupid errors.  And take the chances when they come!

Don’t leave players up when defending corners like we did on Tuesday. That was a stupid error.

It was an interesting tactic, as was the 3 players running from the edge of the box for our corners.

Based on those available it probably is strongest team currently.

After Tielemans not playing on Tuesday he should be fresh. His selection demonstrates the lack of options we have right now. He owes us a big performance.
