We should have more space to play in - like Fulham away. OhVery worried about this game. I went yesterday and we are way too predictable
Their front four are better than ours imo. Dangerous side although bollockface Motes will probably soil himself and drop one to play an extra midfielder
Who is their front 4?
Vicario
Porro - Romero - Dragusin - Udogie
Sarr - Skipp - Maddison
Johnson - Son - Werner
Will not happen but would be nice to see
Antonio, Kudus, Pacqueta and BowenWho is their front 4?
He was great against the Barcodes yesterday, caused them all sorts of problems.Antonio is obv basic but the other three are nice and his non league bludgeoning compliments them
Kudus Paqueta Bowen Antonio.
Blinkers.Kudus is great going forward if he has freedom to do what he wants. His positional discipline and concentration were the question marks that put us off apparaently. Tbh I really wanted us to sign him and still wish we had.
Bowen right now is playing. better than anyone except Son for us. I'd take Johnson long-term though.
Paqueta is box to box and very good. If we are saying he's a 10 and part of a front 4, Maddison is better for that role, Lo Celso when fit is as well.
Antonio?
If our front 4 for the game is:
Maddison
Johnson Son Werner
I'd take that every day of the week for the way we play, pressing and breaking with pace.
East London cup final, huge game for them in which they will put everything in to win.
The team, will need to be better and more clinical if they are to get three points.
Kudus ain't great. Good yes. Ultimately we have a better squad and need to show it.Kudus is great going forward if he has freedom to do what he wants.

That is my team. My only worry is Johnson isn’t as effective starting games but deserves to after yesterday. I still think Ange will go with Deki again.VicarioThough tbh, they're a physical team, might be worth starting Richarlison up top for this one and perhaps moving Son over the left.
Porro - Romero - van de Ven - Udogie
Sarr - Bentancur - Maddison
Johnson - Son - Werner
And we are set up perfectly...for them!Their front four are better than ours imo. Dangerous side although bollockface Motes will probably soil himself and drop one to play an extra midfielder
