Isak and Wirtz will play at the weekend. I'd be surprised to see either of them start this.
Marmadashvilli, Frimpong, Gomez, Leoni, Robertson, Endo, Jones, Chiesa, Isak, Ngumoha, Nyoni
Would be a very interesting starting 11.
Difficult to criticise the recruitment overall, but that is one position where we have bits and pieces to cover the first choice player, rather than a genuine 2 top players for the position.
You can also say that with Gravenberch. I love Grav in this team and worry that we won't be able to rest him properly.
Still, no squad is ever perfect or finished.
He's saying it's possible, but only in fairly rare circumstances.
Who knows with injuries later in the season.
Hopefully Slots favoured formation continues to be the winning formula and Ekitike and Isak are content to share the workload.
I can't imagine Cody will start every game on the left.
You can't expect Rio to play too often so there has to be other options.
Sometimes it's easier to face a weakened team, but be aware that the lads stepping in will have a point to prove to the manager. The intensity will still be there.
In summary it might be easier or it might not be. On the night, is when the fates will finally reveal what is in store.
