- best current CB pairing
- Delap in-front of JP
- Gittenstevao wing
We won't be able to maintain the energy (shoutout Azerbaijan) all game so its important to finish our chances and hopefully put the game to bed early. I am worried looking at our recent low block performances though.

As bad as that LW looks, I think Gittens coming on ag.tired Porro around 60' is better than him from the start. Lavia vs Santos in the midfield 3 was hard too, but I opted for slightly more control + the ability to drop between CBs and beat the press consistently.

Very, very tough game - expecting something similar to Forest (H) last season.
Team picks itself besides the LCB - I've gone back and forth, between Hato, Tosin and Chalobah.
Hopefully I'm wrong about this game 🙏🙏

This game will probably feel like one of the Conference League games from last season so this should be enough.
Cucu and Moi still needed imo, Guiu starting finally, Fofana finally back and Hato homecoming around 60th minute if everything is going how its supposed to

Have a feeling they play a back 5 so JP behind a real 9 will be nice + bunch of runners for the high line makes sense too (Gusto, Nacho, Guiu).
I'm confident so predicting 4-1 with Pedro finally scoring again 🤞🤞

Would like to see Mheuka or Whisper start since Guiu is cup tied.
Academy guys I would like to see play: Murray-Campbell, Antwi, Walsh, Kavuma-McQueen, Mheuka, Richards.

Tosin for Sesko + build-up. I know JP is dying for rest, but the game is perfect for him (their CBs don't step-out). Wes -> Benoit sub around 60 minutes is ideal.
Need this win badly🙏🙏

My idea is to bring James, Badiashile and Lavia for 2nd half around 50-60 minutes for more control and better distribution.

Hopefully thats enough.
Created with the Bayern game in mind of course

I don't like how open we are with the 3-1-6 so a 3-2-5 makes sense to me. Estevao/JP rotations off the left, Neto pinning Robinson/Sessegnon and helping Reece. Love Joao Pedro playing behind Delap a lot aswell.
Win would be huge, UTC!

Cucurella into back 3 to have a left footed option there + 1v1 against Bowen. Would like for James to go bit wider and leave space for Josh/Wes to carry the ball which can create a bunch of space in the middle for Palmer/Enzo to receive.

If Wes isn't ready, start Chalobah/Hato at LCB and invert Cucu instead of James.
If Josh struggles, drop Enzo/Caicedo between CBs or play the 4-2-2-2 with wide FBs and Neto as a split forward.

Can't wait to see how right I was on May 2026

Genesis Antwi - looks cut above other academy guys, one for the future.

He is everywhere on the pitch when we're in possession. It's so nice to have a CF with great off the ball movement who constantly looks to want to involve himself in the play and when he does - it usually results in a shot or a key pass.

Possibly his last game here. I don't view Ty as a generational talent, but I really wish he would agree to a loan as you can clearly see his ability on and off the ball.
With guys like Quenda/Estevao/Gittens on the wings and Pedro/Simons inside there is just no space for him.
