Parker said we will have to see how Reem is today, possible he may play.
The attack was pretty toothless against Brentford. I am not sure where else it will come from unless we start going back to playing to feet. I think Lookman showed so much promise, so he has to start. Personally, I want to see Cairney play behind Mitro as it's been a while since we've seen that. His lack of tracking back as a CDM should be reason enough for this change.
I know Aina wasn't great, but I'm done with Odoi in the PL. It's just...enough.

i thought cairney looked good going forward v villa but extremely lightweight tracking back
thought him and anguissa looked good together
shame there was nothing in front of them even remotely interested in moving off the ball or having a go
take away defensive mistakes and there are points to be won

- *Play McDonald if Reed (and Lemina) are unavailable. Failing that then Johansen.
- I've advocated playing Bryan on the left wing before but this time it'd be with the intention of doubling-up the fullbacks on Traore
- Areola not particularly at fault but isn't inspiring confidence. Nor is Rodak in fairness but still feel it's his spot to lose
- Lookman caused problems on Thursday and would provide the skills on the right that Bryan lacks on the left
- Tete and Aina look ok going forward but don't look solid defensively thus far. Odoi hasn't either but we'd need someone with discipline with Lookman on the wing

Can we risk Aina at rb though, when attackers seemed to go past him so easily, and his general ineptitude.
OK, so he maybe struggling to adapt, and for fitness, but it's so important to try and be defensively more sound. Pity Christie's gone, though I know he also had defensive limitations, but Aina really seemed to struggle.
Shame about Tete, and Lemina.
I can't believe how one dimensional and predictable we were v Villa - nearly all our attacks culminated in crosses to Mitro, who tried manfully, but they were ready it, and it was no surprise when our 'goal' came from a long range shot, for a tap in.
I think Lookman will give us a lot more, bursting past players and passing to feet, and even having a go himself. Might also link well with BDR as well as Mitro.
Agree that Cairney might be better used in a more forward, creative role.
COYW
Onomah hasn't done enough to start IMO.
Stefjo to start with Anguissa if Reed isn't fit.
As for Onomah's central attacking position, I have no idea who to play there. Who do we have centrally who can close down but also good on the ball?
Edit: parker will start Odoi at RB but I'd rather see Aina there.
Would like to see 3-5-2:
Areola
Odoi Hector Ream
Johansen
Kamara Cairney Anguissa Bryan
Mitrovic Lookman
Will probably see 4-2-3-1:
Areola
Odoi Hector Ream Bryan
Cairney Anguissa
Lookman BDR Cavaleiro
Mitrovic

I know, it's a risk - but Odoi hasn't shown much to me that he deserves to keep second choice at RB. I've just had enough of his brain fleeting moments. Aina will need to prove himself though, but if the choice is between him and Odoi...I pick Robinson :)
Agreed about Lookman. Was fantastic. He made so many penetrating passes from the wings compared to what we received instead from the likes of Knockaert who just dribbled and slowed things down. I think Lookman and Cairney may work out quite well.
I think most supporters have watched too much of Cairney at the CDM role, but the majority of last season he was right behind Mitro, and our attack was much more potent because he could hold onto the ball and play those passes out wide to our wingers and fullbacks. Not to mention he's got a good shot on him.

Sorry I meant Reed, no doubt about Ream being available as far as we know.

I think Aina demonstrated against Brentford that he cannot be considered for a place tomorrow.

cheers, will be a brucey if reed is fit.
It's gotta be AK47 opposite Traore. That will be some match up.
Areola
Odoi - Hector - Ream - Bryan
Anguissa - Onomah
Lookman - BDR - AK47
Mitrovic
4-4-2.... For me..... Don't really care who plays...as we'll lose.... really hope we don't....but I cant see our season starting until November
Aina might be able to do a job at rb in due course, but not now. At Brentford he didn't look fit. Kamara is clearly not up to the necessary standard.
Areola
Odoi. Hector. Ream Bryan
Anguissa. Cairney. Onomah
Kebano. Mitrovic. Lookman

Denis Can PLay Right Back
The problem is our coaching staff hasn't taught them how to hold a consistently straight back four.
Defend. I'm ok getting a 0-0 draw for a point. I don't need Dennis Odoi leaving Michael Hector as our only right sided defender because Denis has bombed ahead past the halfway line.
Also, if we can just figure out how to actually clear corners we might not concede 2+ goals a game.
I wouldn't use AK47, Knock or Cav as starters again...unless it was due to injury
And Antonee Robinson is a better defender than Joe Bryan, so he gets the spot for me. Traore is going to get the ball on the right...dribble close to Joe Bryan...then kick the ball past him and run to the ball to whip a cross, or drive into our box.
Antonee Robinson is better served to defend against Traore.
Onomah looked slow to me immediately when we came back from the break. He's now in a faster league and doesn't look any faster.

Any of the line ups might work but think 4_4_2 is the way forward and every one giving there all!
It amazes me how even us fan think we can got to Wolves with 4 forwards, no defensive midfield player and defend properly.
We have to have one midfield player at least, protecting the back 4. Even if it means playing someone out of their natural position.

Agree Stu, we need some defence for the defence.
I'm sure Scott and his staff have been working on things with he players.
