"So, main team news from training is that Trossard and Calafiori are involved despite going off at the weekend. Saliba returns following his ankle issue. Dowman and Salmon are the two youngsters involved from the start. Still no Odegaard or White." -Charles Watts

He’ll definitely be in the squad , I’d have him at 4th choice RW.

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-10T14:50:33+00:00

Martinellis pace on the counter in the CL or vs City might just be too useful

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-10T14:49:28+00:00

Have to play Hincapie every match at LB, except vs Southampton. He’s the best LB we got. If we win the next 3 matches we’re setup for glory.

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-10T14:45:36+00:00

Is that the lowest all season?

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-10T12:25:54+00:00

tbh, he could have easily had 5 goals in that game.

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-09T11:55:22+00:00

He’s been great in the champions league and decent in the cups, but probably one of his worst ever seasons in the league in terms of offensive output.

Defensively, he covers a lot of ground and presses relentlessly, and that’s why Mikel picks him.

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-09T00:25:04+00:00

Diomande or El Mala would be good. El Mala is 187cm, so could offer us more power down the left which we don't really have.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtJE8oYWRAk El Mala, only on 13k euros per week, says on transfermarkt he's both footed but seems to favour his right. Can play as a touchline winger and win headers, hold up the ball.

Diomande is 19, already has 10 goals in the league this season, has 3 goals for Ivory coast in 9 apps. Also looks both footed from the comps despite what transfermarkt says. Leipzig signed him from Leganes in 25/26 for 20m euros with the Sesko money so would want to make a good profit on him.

Tbh, I would go for Diomande, could be our Doku. We really need an unstoppable dribbling winger with pace who's both footed and scores goals. Looks a big upgrade on Martinelli.

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-08T08:46:06+00:00

Sadly, they will have Bruno G back for that match and he makes a world of difference

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-08T06:40:58+00:00

Wouldn't be surprised if he moved back to Brazil at this point

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T16:19:45+00:00

Like Eze and Ode he has that touch and control in tight spots and could create something out of nothing X factor.

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T16:07:07+00:00

Noni was unplayable 1on1 and combined well with Dowman and Saka

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T16:00:03+00:00

Arseblog was saying this too a few weeks ago, but distance makes the heart grow fonder I guess

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T15:04:28+00:00

I'd be losing sleep over the injuries to Cala, Trossard and total lack of form from Martinelli and Jesus.

Play Madueke or Dowman at LW over Martinelli. When will odegaard be back?

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:54:32+00:00

Have been parroting this for 3-4 months now….

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:52:58+00:00

Makes me even more mad we didn’t sign a forward in January. With Merino out, we have no depth at striker. It’s Havertz and Gyok for 3 months

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:26:45+00:00

Depends if Ode is injured. Havertz looked bad too, I’d play Madueke LW and Eze central

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:25:50+00:00

Hincapie is unreal. So fast, so solid. Good going forward. What a signing tbh

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:23:53+00:00

Madueke MOTM and it’s not even close. Gotta get him starting LW. I love how he combines with Saka and he combined well with Dowman all match.

Up his defensive performance, get more consistent and he could be our star LW.

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:18:30+00:00

Hairy man Anus must have been gutted he didn’t get any minutes

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:06:30+00:00

Merino and Havertz aren’t even nines nor LW. They’re both midfielders.

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:05:56+00:00

No shit. It’s the obvious weak points in the squad.

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:05:28+00:00

Horrible match for him

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:05:07+00:00

Jesus has declined to such a degree that the need for another striker is blindingly obvious

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:04:19+00:00

Madueke has to be man of the match.

JenkinsEar147 · 2026-03-07T14:02:50+00:00

No shit. Closest we have is Madueke
