It looks too much like trying to force Enzo back in to me.

I agree. I see no reason to rush him back. Gallagher and Caicedo did well there and are more likely to out run them. They're going to be knackered after midweek. It was a chance to give them hell there

 I'm also worried that Gallagher will spend the whole game cutting central and Cucurella will be forced to go forward, leaving massive gaps open. 

Would dearly love to be wrong.

If its Madueke left, that seems pointless. Might as well have put Mudryk there. He will be nowhere near as dangerous.

It will be

Jackson: LF
Madueke: RF
Palmer: False 9

and the three lads behind

I think the only hope is that it's Jackson on the left and Palmer up front, but I then think we don't get the best out of Palmer.

Poch appears to have had a nightmare.

That lineup? Well, defensive wise it's ok, but other than that, it's a no no from me. But please surprise me, by all means 😁😁😁

I think he's probably worried about Palmer's tracking back and Jackson's ability to hold up the ball

That makes more sense to me too.

Thats almost worse.

Renoving our best player from a position where he's jut got back to back hat tricks. 

The only way I'd be happy with the line up is of Noni is playing left wing. He isnt though

It makes more sense to me to pick players in their proper positions

Less confident now after seeing that line up.

Good to see our Frank in the studio 💙

That’s where he’s best - and not in the dugout 🩶🧡

Oh stop it 😡 Don’t spoil it 😢

[Super Kenny Monkou]

Quite a strong side for them. Will need to be at our best.

[JaneB]

If we lose we lose, but please play with some effort and heart 💙

[Max Fowler]

Says a lot from Poch picking two centre halves supposed to be leaving in summer for such a big match

That’s all I want tbh. Some pride for a change. 🫶🏻🔥

[Max Fowler]

Big game for Madueke I feel - exactly the kind of big game I do not currently trust him in at all

Gallagher left wing

Well yeah but given the other options this one made more sense than the others did!

Dear God Pochettino strikes again the man is a clown, he's always so worried about what they might do to us than what we can do to them. 

Coward.

Espesh in a one-off.

[asvaberg]

A miracle they don't lead 1-0 there

[asvaberg]

And that is a clear yellow on  deBruyne. Who's the ref, oh, wait......
