PL likely to be briefing hard on this: game isn't at threat but their model is. Less vulnerable than France, but given the dependence of the PL on its huge TV deal they are paranoid.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're also quietly lobbying govt about VPN bans too

Looks like Casey benched as Swansea revert to a back four against Ipswich at home.
I saw it coming, but not ideal

My pet theory is that jwp slagged him off in the forest players WhatsApp group and someone passed that to Nuno

Got subbed off 10 minutes after a formation change.
Not sure whether they will keep a back 5 for the weekend because they're at home

Also the fact that both are prone to switching off. Harder to do when you're on the wrong side.
Kilman used to play RCB - in a back 3 - at Wolves

Messed that up: should be towards the middle not towards the outside in this case 😕

I think the some of the logicis based on how CB pressing has evolved. Players now tend to press from an angle in order to steer the CB to pass a certain way, often towards the outside (and into a trap)
But inverted CBs can step away from such pressing on their preferred foot and so break that press

Probably looking to change passing angles so that we don't get funnelled into pressing traps

Mayers probably cover at LB. He played LCB for the u21s a fair bit and isn't shy to charge forward in possession.
I think we'll be looking to get Summerville going at Krafth. Going narrow against Tonali-Guimares-Joelinton going to be a tough day.
Important for our wingers to go outside their fb

Or get badly injured and get nothing.
He'd be off on a free if we went down so I doubt he'll care that much if it doesn't work out

Can has been injured, I think. Was back in their squad on Friday.
Edson not strong enough for the PL. Reckless but weak

Good luck with that. We'll need it...

He's only made 3 starts this season and hasn't featured at all in the last two games.
It's not big wages that are the problem: it's big fees with no chance of getting anything like what we paid back. Combining the two is absolute poison and we've done that a fair bit as well

We might be able to bribe Maguire with a fat 2.5 year deal to force ManU to sell him in Jan. I get the feeling they don't want to extend.
Probably a year too long but better 7.5m in dead wages in 27-28 than a 60m+ loss in the champo next season

The problem is who would take Todibo? Maybe Nice if he takes a pay cut? Outside shot is that someone at Ineos still likes him and he gets loaned to ManU.
Casey-Mavro-Kilman could work, I feel. But I think we'll go for experience at CB, CM and ST if we can. Maguire, Ugarte, McBurnie types
