Team for Brentford?
We're a little bit light at centre half with Jordan Beyer unfortunately out injured and Ameen Al-Dakhil being 'touch and go', to quote Kompany (using a dycheism). Other injuries of course Obafemi, Ekdal, JBG, Redmond and apparently Zaroury has a bit of a knock.
It will be a very difficult game - Brentford have had a habbit of drawing a few games this season and are coming off the back of a beatdown by Everton and will no doubt be up for righting that wrong.
Mbeumo and Wissa definitely their dangermen - a few good players in the rest of the side, Norgaard & Jensen but nothing that we have to overly worry about, IMO.
They have a few injuries/suspensions themselves.. Most notably Ivan Toney banned and injuries to other important players like Rico Henry (LB) Ethan Pinnock (CB) and Ben Mee has been out for a while but I think is in contention for Saturday's game and I believe Mark Flekken (GK) is also fit after missing last game with an illness.
For me:
-----------Muric
Roberts-AAD*-Delcroix-Taylor
----------Cullen
------Berge-----Brownhill
JBL-------Foster-----Koleosho
Amdouni to come on for Berge when he tires
Odebert for Koleosho
Then whatever
*I guess O'Shea if AAD can't make it

Re: Team for Brentford?
I mean this in the best way possible but I hope Ben's return is after our game.

Re: Team for Brentford?
Not too worried if Ben Mee starts-really like Ben but we can expose his lack of pace
I am assuming the worst in the CB position and that Ekdal, Al Dakhill and Beyer all won't make it

Doesn't matter really, if we have none of our 'proper' 3 centrebacks available I m afraid we're ******.

Re: Team for Brentford?
Yeah it’s probably a game where we should accept that we’re to concede and try and simply ‘we’ll score more than you’ approach- perhaps a more ‘attacking’ lineup such as you’ve suggested may be the way to go.Newcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 6:35 pmTrafford

I think it’s got to be a game where we just go out to out score. Brentford have their own injury issues to worry about.CoolClaret wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 7:13 pmYeah it’s probably a game where we should accept that we’re to concede and try and simply ‘we’ll score more than you’ approach- perhaps a more ‘attacking’ lineup such as you’ve suggested may be the way to go.
We know for a fact we won’t keep a clean sheet but I do believe given the right team we can score 3

Zeki having that freedom to rotate inside with Berge comfortable on the overlap / right side space. Koleosho back on his strongest side.
Fancy a result in this one. Brentford’s injury list is quite long and they were awful against Everton in their last home game. Still a decent side on their day obviously so id take a draw.

Re: Team for Brentford?
Foster apart, it's now harder to pick a team than it was after the pre season friendlies.
We don't have a settled team or a settled line up / formation.
We clearly have talented players but not a talented team.

Re: Team for Brentford?
going to be tough if we have injuries in defence, i also thought how to get Muric in the team play him at centre half
Re: Team for Brentford?
The back four is a complete mess. The sooner Beyer and Ekdal are fit the better. We all know Trafford will start so not much point thinking anything else. Muric will be gone in January - the rumour mill has already started where that's concerned. If we're forced into starting O'Shea and Delcroix then we absolutely need to start Cork, probably in place of Cullen, simply for his organisation.

I never thought I'd say this but I'd love to see Muric back in goal.

The centre half injuries are a real concern. We need Beyer and Ekdal back as soon as possibly. Hopefully we see a change in goal tomorrow.

Re: Team for Brentford?
I'd have no problems with that, bearing in mind availability, although Delcroix could replace O'Shea maybe. However imo it doesn't really matter what we do as defensively it won't be good enough. Injuries in that department have absolutely wrecked us unfortunately. Beyond the back 4 that's a very good side, but we'll struggle not to concede more than two or three I'd suggest.BleedingClaret wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2023 8:29 pmMURIC

Re: Team for Brentford?
I genuinely have no idea what team VK will select for today due to injuries and performance in training during the international break. I’m going to go with this?!?! -
Trafford
Roberts AAD Delcroix Taylor
Cullen
Berge. Brownhill
Amdouni Koleosho
Foster
I would like to see more of Bruun Larsen, so maybe him instead of one of the wide men and if AAD is not fit then O’Shea instead. Desperately need Beyer back!! Would also like to see Benny and/or Anass come on and show some form from last season, but both seem to be either injured or out of favour at the moment.
Ultimately, regardless of who plays in attack, it’s what we do at the back that will determine today’s outcome and we simply have to tighten up or else it’s going to be a long season.

With our reserve centre backs, we need to have 2 defensive midfielders in front of them - Cork and Cullen makes sense

Re: Team for Brentford?
With our frailty at centre half (assuming O’Shea and Delcroix play), Muric has to come in for me. The thought of Trafford, O’Shea and Delcroix playing it between themselves at the back doesn’t bode well.
Muric can kick a lot longer than Trafford and this relieves pressure and gives us a chance to hit teams on the break.
