We all know James will be subbed 10/20 mins into the second half, meaning the back line has to reshuffle at some point, which I’d personally always try and avoid doing, but as I say, I trust Maresca and he definitely knows better than me! Problem is James is an absolute weapon when he's fully fit so getting him upto speed is so important. Yes he may, probably will, get injured again but we are far better with him in the team. What he brings to the team, as a full back, is absurd. 1

Yeah, completely agree, he’s a game changer when fully fit and firing and if we can get him back to that, properly then he will make a huge difference. I completely understand why he’s being picked and I can’t really argue with it, I just think we looked much better and more balance vs Liverpool after Veiga came on as a left footed left back.
McCreadie Posted October 27 Posted October 27 Great to see a strong bench compared to certain games last year where we literally were naming 3 or 4 youth players that I had never heard of. 2

I just feel like we are going to see a performance where we completely dominate them and Gusto will spend the vast majority of the game in midfield and spend hardly any time as a conventional left back. Like I said, 5-0.
Sciatika Posted October 27 Posted October 27 (edited) Joelinton and Dan Burn are on four bookings. They might not want to get booked again because they'll miss the next game against Arsenal. I'd target them and give them something to think about. Edited October 27 by Sciatika

I'd still play Cucurella on the left though and let Gusto come on in a like for like in the second half.
