I would go more conservative
Muric
Clarke O'Shea Burgess Davis
Taylor Phillips Cajuste
Johnson Delap Szmodics
Torn between Johnson being to safe and not having anything going forward v Hutchinson |  | | |  |

I think you try and play as similarly as we did at Spurs, which would be:
Muric
Clarke
O'Shea
Burgess
Davis
Phillips
Cajuste
Johnson
Omari
Szmodics
Delap
There's perhaps an argument that it might be worth O'Shea going to the right and Woolfenden or perhaps Greaves coming into the middle but I don't think they'd want to break up the CB pairing if they can help it. |  | | |

I think Hutchinson has to play, he pressed more from the front than others and we are going to need to defend from the front.

Agree, but a heart ruling head pick, unfortunately. | | | |

Muric
O'Shea - Burgess - Greaves
Johnson - Cajuste - Phillips - Taylor - Davis
Szmodics
Delap
Subs: Walton, Townsend, Woolfenden, Luongo, Burns, Hutchinson, J Clarke, Chaplin, Broadhead
Depending on the state of the game, Taylor can join Szmodics as a ten or stay in central midfield. When a three in the middle, Phillips can drop back into defence as O'Shea covers Johnson and Greaves does the same for Davis. My big question is Muric or Walton in goal. | |

If we are to have success I think the ball progression of Omari is our main hope, he has to play. | | | |

Can’t see us starting those 3 in the middle given Morsy is out. Leaves us nobody to come off the bench there and I don’t think any of those are good for 90+ minutes right now. |  | | |

I think his lack of recent success has made me baulk slightly away from him. After a good spell he's suddenly looking very lightweight. But if he is to play, I'd say drop Taylor to the bench and play him alongside Szmodics as a ten. | |

It will be
Muric
Johnson O'Shea Burgess Davis
Phillips Cajuste
Burns Hutch Szmodics
Delap
No Saka for them is a massive benefit for us, but probably Gabriel Jesus is going to have a field day. At least, i hope, this will be the start of the Phillips/Cajuste pivot. We need Phillips if we're going to stay up, and this pivot would work and we'd have the passing ability of KP, as much as it pains me to not have Morsy in the team long term.
Going to be a hard day, but let's hope we put up a good fight. |  |

Need to keep the ball out of our half as much as we can, so ball carriers like Clarke and Hutchinson (and obviously Delap) could be important. |  |

J.Clarke can carry it all he likes, he’ll lose possession time and time again, and then Arsenal will be on the attack.
That’s not being harsh on him, just the reality of what we’ll stand and watch happen | |

Need to find a spot for Broady. Clever player who can pick a pass. Need him involved. |  |

To be honest I think I agree, he's disappointed overall, but he's got more attacking threat and forward momentum than Szmodics. The latter is great if he gets a chance but we need to create chances in the first place, and that's what Clarke was bought for. We have to put some faith in the players we've recruited.
I'd be chuffed to see Broadhead start as he deserves it, but I can't see it. | |

I would start Greaves.
Agree Phillips and Johnson must start, it's essential we get minutes out of our Premier League-experienced players. Sounds ridiculous but I'm not quite ready to write Friday's game off. | |

I mean there has been some hot takes in the last few days but to say Jack Clarke has more attacking threat (at this moment in time) than Szmodics is a good one......! | | | |

Three CBs is a must.
And a change of keeper please...although I doubt that will happen. |  |

If match fit, need to start Phillips ahead of Taylor.
He can pick some amazing passes, offers more solidity in defence than Taylor and when pushing forward still has good threat, and a power shot from outside the box ('cuz we're not going to get closer very often). [Post edited 23 Dec 2024 18:36]

Sounds like Saka is out, shame for the lad, but probably helps us considerably. |  |

If Muric starts, I’d rather have no centre backs, he seems to find them confusing. | | | |
