Bielik staying in the back 4. I like it tbh

Interesting James starts. They wouldn't be starting him if a deal was close to being agreed you would of thought 🤔

Don't mind Bielik in the back four, we've got Long on the bench if we need to change it around

Cripes.

Donovan may aswell leave. Can't even make the bench. Played ok the other night aswell.

Can’t believe he’s dropped Long. What an idiot.

Happy with that. You can very much see the philosophy of “fill the team with good footballers” playing out.

Don’t be a plank.

I think Burke or Gardner could have made way for Donovan on the bench

For what? I'd rather him on the bench than someone like gardner

‘Might as well leave’. That bit is being a plank

I’d have had Donovan for Burke definitely. Gardner has to be on the bench in case one of the central midfielders goes off injured.

Send Burke back and put Donovan on the bench. Other than that I’m happy with the lineup.

It's almost like TM recently left behind a situation where he was sort of being forced to play young players who he might naturally have wanted to protect a little bit...
