Rui
Saiss - Coady - Boly
Semedo - Moutinho - Neves - Jonny
Adama - Neto - Podence​
 
We can't play without a striker, even if it has to be Concrete José (I hope not) then we have to have someone there. We have tried playing without a focal point a number of times, every time it has looked beyond appalling.

This would be good if Neto could hold the ball up and play that role.

I'd go -

Patricio
Semedo - Coady - Boly - Jonny
Moutinho - Neves
Adama - Podence - Neto
Jose/Fabio​

I take your point, but playing Fabio (who is physically incapable of being a focal point) doesn't solve the issue either. I'd go MGW, but Nuno will not.
 
DW's team but Jose instead of Fabio and the centre halves on the opposite sides
 
I don't think he was too far off for the Liverpool game, and it's a three week gap from that game to this one, so I'd think so.
 
..............................Patricio
Semedo.........Coady.........Boly.........Jonny/RAN
..................Vitinha.................Neves
Traore..................Podence................Beto
...........................Silva/Jose

I'd give RAN and Jonny a half eachish, same with Jose and Silva

also happy to play 3 at the back with Saiss in for Traore
 
DW's team but Jose in for Fabio.

Fabio and Vitinha to get 30 minutes each.

Ronaldo in the stands watching his new team mates.
 
I thought the CBs looked good with Saiss on the right and Boly on the left against Liverpool?
I thought they did in that game as well tbf, but Saiss has been a bomb scare there in the past, so seems an unnecessary risk
 
They're playing with IFs aren't they? So having a wrong footer on each side makes some sense.

Agree with all of this. Let's have a look at 4 at the back again, and a couple of the young lads
 
- Rui is definitely fit
- Podence might be, he's training again
- Still waiting on Raul but it's going well
 
Now Podence is fit again I want to try 4-2-3-1 again, purely for that front four which worked so well against Arsenal. I'm assuming Joao isn't quite fit, but if he is then he'll play instead of Vitinha.


Rui

Semedo - Boly - Coady - Jonny

Vitinha - Neves

Traore - Podence - Neto

Jose
 
Good that Rui is fit - doubt we will see Podence from the start but hopefully fit enough to take some part
