I for 1 Don"t think we will tier prem teams out they are all fit teams that's why you need quality signings.

07 Sep 2020 11:28:16
Some of them are. I think a few will find our fitness hard to cope with, especially the lower half teams.

To me, Josko Gvardiol, looks like a beast of a player! Real physical presence but comfortable with the ball in the air and at his feet. If he comes not sure how long it will be before Gvardiol Koch is the first team pairing with Cooper as good cover from the bench.

I've got a sneaky feeling that little by little we are building a pretty exciting team and squad.

06 Sep 2020 14:35:15
Yes I was wondering Spanish, with all our confirmed and projected signings who, of the Championship winning squad are most at risk.

06 Sep 2020 14:58:07
Good post Spaniard. Leo, most at risk but still a huge part to play are Cooper, Klich and Pablo. Eventually they'll take up their place on the bench as the youngsters and prospective newcomers challenge.

Can also play LB so may make that his own position as Cafu can play anywhere.

06 Sep 2020 17:27:25
Coops starts.

06 Sep 2020 23:34:48
Ty Georgie! I’d add Bamford to that list as well. Cooper already looking vulnerable, presumably Klich if the Italian stallion comes in, and or Pablo. For me the key will be if Pablo’s tricks still work in the premiership, if they do he’ll be able to make a telling contribution . Klich surprised us by his constant presence in the championship, can he go up a gear?

06 Sep 2020 23:50:12
I expect Rodrigo will take Hernandez place in the middle but Hernandez will take Costa place for first 60 mins and play wide.

07 Sep 2020 02:56:11
Good thought provoking post guys.
Why klich in danger of starting.
Think cooper will be safe until Xmas. He captain.
Yes. Looks little by little Spanish. Sensible.
Stay in prem. Next year a few more big baha quality signings and we in Europe mix.

It's an interesting one because I would imagine Coops to start as he is captain. Time will. tell if he can make the step up to the prem but let's face it there are defenders in the Prem who warn a living week in and week out when they are not that great. Its Coops place (or lack of) that is the biggest worry for me as most Prem attackers are fast as fluke.

07 Sep 2020 13:47:56
The players respect coops and he is captain and a nice guy so that makes up for his lack of ability.
At the end of the day. Who would you rather in the trenches. Good mate coops or a German. I rest my case John.

Still think this nations league is so badly timed especially for players away and not getting game time just means they are missing vital training and warm up games with the club.
Some debate about if Bielsa will line up with Koch at CB, personally I can't see it
I think it will be
Ayling Strujk cooper Dallas at the back and the line up itself will be the exact same as what ended the champ season minus Ben White .

06 Sep 2020 09:55:20
Tend to agree with you Mighty. With Koch coming on for last 20mins (or when we are 3 goals up) whichever comes first.

06 Sep 2020 10:47:47
Cant see it being Stuijk as surely he'd have played him there in yesterday's game. Who knows.

06 Sep 2020 12:14:01
Koch for me.

06 Sep 2020 13:20:38
I’m sure Bielsa is waiting to see the guys come back from the internationals to see what state they are in. Rodrigo getting minutes but Koch not much so far. I would look at what he did yesterday, using a combination of Ayling, Davis, even Douglas with the young lad Casey. Gives him a lot of options in the week ahead. Canada is right not Struick, he is nailing his colours to defence midfield but good bench option as he can cover both positions! Davis has played his way into contention I think.
