Araujo was good defensively but wtf was his positioning? And his coordination with Yamal was shit. Still I don't want to scapegoat him. Many played mid-bad. Yamal was invisible , Fermin was ok ok. Raphinha except his defensive contributions and workrate was mid. I loved espart's cameo. In an UCL high intensity match against a premier league team, u perform a clear tackle in ur box…damn! He also made another amazing tackle before as far as I remember.

Yamal on the bench,he needs rest.
3-1-1-1-1-1-2
Putting players slightly out of position. This guy must be a professional coach.
This ain’t efootball gng ðŸ˜ðŸ˜¢ðŸ™‚
I’d like to see rashford used more centrally , he’s very capable there too
Replace raphina, lamine, pedri. Need those boys fresh for Newcastle 2nd leg
Honestly I would rotate most of the outfield players. Players like Raphinha, Lamine, Pedri, Bernal, Fermin etc all needs to rest for the Newcastle game.
My lineup will be –
GK : Garcia
RB : Espart
CB : Araujo (considering he is fit)
CB : Alvaro Cortes
LB : Maldini (rested at HT for cancelo)
CDM : Casado
CDM : Marques
CAM : Olmo
RW : Roony
LW : Rashford
ST : Ferran
It’s not an ideal situation but given our 4 point lead and that the match is at home we should do the job. Plus you always have the option of bringing pedri, Lamine, Raphinha if things are not going according to plan
can we play Lamine in the middle and put Rooney at wing? Lamine could save some energy playing there why still providing passes
You know what? Play the entire B team and rest everyone from our main Xi
Jokes apart,
Rashford Ferran Roony
Tommy
Casado ??
Espart
Garcia
LB, CBs? I don’t know man
But we know Hansi gonna play the same xi he played against Newcastle 😫
OP had a stroke while putting the players on the right positions

This is my lineup Subs should be Xavi Esparta for Eric, Tommy for olmo , and if needed lewa lamine rapha in front three.
Rest both Pedri and Yamal. Give Roony a chance. And Xavi a start. Start Garcia as well.
Is rashford really is that bad at striker?
I get it we saw good glimpses from last match from Xavi Espart but it’s way to soon for him to start . Realistically he should be given minutes towards the 70-80 minute mark , there’s no point in rushing youngsters also he recently recovered from an injury.
We should try rashford in st. Everything will be sorted out easily.
Yamal , cubarsi and one of pedri or Bernal should be rested .
