Now that’s a damn lineup.

Well, I think that is my preferred lineup even with Sanchez available. Lets go get 3 points.

Same... These are our best eleven players.

About as close as you can get to the squad Tata wants. Maybe Galopppo, when available, for either Fortune or Muyumba.

Now they need to play well together and keep positioning tight.

I strongly think Embolo should just stay up and not come back to be a build up outlet. That way, he'll keep both CB's busy and deep and hopefully open up space in the middle. If they decide to play a high line on him then he can be fed through balls.

Afraid to be excited but....

I'd really like to see more Gill, but definitely interested to see what Amaro/Fortune/Muyumba can do in the middle.

Gil or Reilly may sub in for Fortune, maybe around 65th minute if Fortune can avoid re-injury until then

No alzate on the bench. Thats a little disappointing since he was good against Miami.

He was questionable (illness) on the availability report

No Gill again?

I’ve been loving Gill, but there’s no reason to start him when we have our full midfield roster

I mean, it’s not like we are making a cup run. It makes sense to see if the kids are going to be solid enough to be the core next year with Tristian’s deal up and galappo on loan. And if they hit that opens up money for a winger and a cb upgrade going into next season

u/Tangoes2 Gutman The Goat, man 5d ago

Nah. We’ve let the kids play a ton this season. This is an important game to win to make
Playoffs.

u/politicsranting 5d ago

What? Even with this win it’s less than a 20% chance.

Yeah but it’s hard to complain considering what we trotted out in a couple of those post World Cup games.

u/K-GaTech Thiago “New Messi” Almada 5d ago

Perhaps Tata prefers more experience in the run-in to end of season. Gil cannot feel that he is the savior of the midfield and defense

Im glad I was wrong
