It always seems like one key man goes down at the eleventh hour ahead of our biggest games.

 

Hopefully it is just twatter bollocks but it is all over place...

Good job Thiago is back eh

[El Rojo]

I guess that would be a starting midfield of Mac Allister, Jones and one of Elliott/Gravenberch so.

 

Crazy that Thiago is already an option after a few sessions. Good, though (once he doesn’t end up as a subbed sub).

IF Bradley plays, then just swap dom for trent and Bobs your uncle.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I'd want Doms off the ball work rate against Arsenal.

Huge miss. Especially as all options have a bit of a question mark to them.

 

I see Japan went out. Let's get Endo back rapido.

I didn't even know he was injured... son of a bitch. Feels like Arsenal never face the full version of us or at least that's what I've convinced myself.

I think I’d go with Elliott.

 

Gravenberch did well when he came on in the FA Cup game though.

[NoelM]

Gomez to right back, Trent in midfield with Robertson in maybe?

[bossy]

We’ll misvDom. One of they key features in the Chelsea win was work rate and then the talent. We need both to beat these. Keep at it Reds.

[Scooby Dudek]

Is it 100% Dom is out ?

We certainly have plenty of options. 

IMO, I wouldn’t change it that much, we seem to be in a good groove with how we’ve been playing.

Elliott would be my last choice. I think I'd prefer to risk Thiago's fitness more.

IMO, Elliott is fine in midfield and puts a shift in.

[Mook]

My heart will sink a bit if I see Elliott in the starting line up.

I just don't think he has the presence. Especially in a game like this. 

[Red Hot]

It's his defensive side of his game that concerns me, plenty of running , unfortunately no end product. But good going forward.

See where you’re coming from. Not sure I trust Gravenberch either. 
 

Unless, as NoelM said, we switch it up and put Trent into midfield. 

[LFC 6 Times]

If Szobo out would do Trent right of 3 in midfield and Gomez RB and Robbo at LB. Gravenberch ahead of Elliot for me, he just doesn’t cut it in big games from the start.

Or Robbo at LB and Joe at RB?

 

[Edit]

Bollocks. 6 Times beat me.

Hmm , I don't see how Robertson can possibly be match fit after so long out .

To be fair we won in the cup with him starting.
