Gallagher, as much as I dont rate him, probably deserves a start over his individual performance at the weekend. We saw how we play without Havertz. We need him in there, for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kelly Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Havertz may be a bad CF but he's a better CF than anyone else in the CL squad and Gallagher is actually trying which cannot be said of the rest bar Mudryk if Saturday is anything to go by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 What the hell is that team?! Kepa Fofana - Silva - Chalobah James - Kante - Enzo - Kovacic- Cucurella Gallagher - Havertz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyLB Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I literally WTF'd out loud at that lineup. Dear me.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I guess Frank is going to try and catch them on the break, but without the pace of Mudryk or Felix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyLB Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 If James plays as defensive as he has in the first leg, I am going to lose it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 He's lost the plot. Set up for the counter but no Mudryk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asvaberg Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 If this lineup gets us 2 goals and none conceeded, I'll eat my Marmite with a tablespoon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Love Lamps, but that’s a real shocker of a lineup tbh. Not what I expected at all. Can only think he’s trying to stay in the game late-on, and will then bring on Mudryk, Felix, Sterling, Mount if we need them 🤷🏼♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll need them after about 15 minutes I would imagine. Its a real head scratcher of a lineup, would never have predicted it. I would love to hear the rationale. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holymoly Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Absolutely reeks of goals. Looks like we're setting up not to be tonked. If we lose a defender looks like Azlilicueta will get a deserved swansong to avoid having to go 4 at the back. Our last game in the CL for a while. Let's hope it's memorable for the right reasons.

My Blood Is Blue Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Rodrygo vs Cucurella should be fun to watch, Fofana may have a very busy night mopping up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Singleton Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Watching Frank being interviewed by the pitch-side BT team, he's confirmed that it's essentially a 3-4-2-1 with Gallagher and Kanté as the 'support' for Havertz but that the subs will be the game-changers. 😱😱😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boratsbrother Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Maybe Frank is hoping the RM players will laugh themselves to death when they see our team lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1905 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Actually don't mind that line up, it's a little different and can't be any worse than what we have seen in recent weeks. Its a bit left field but I like Gallagher and Kante there, for this game in the situation we are in, they should offer lots of energy, press their midfield from the front and not give them any time on the ball. I actually thinks its a pretty clever, well thought out line up, just doubt whether the weeks work on the training ground will be enough to execute the plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
