Thing I'm loving most right now is watching White not hit long hopeful balls, but put them on dimes. That lad is a great passer of the ball. Loved Pontus. But, he couldn't pass like White. Him, KP, and Forshaw playing the type of passes they are, from deep positions, must worry other teams.

Add Ayling as a right side CB, Cooper on the left, and White up the middle, with KP and Forshaw playing deeper, and I think we'll be dangerous.

Would like to see Shack getting a chance at RB. And Alioski at LB if Douglas stays in this slump.

Well berardi's hopeful wasn't a bad one was it?..

But agree, White is a fantastic player that should get better!..

Have to agree with promotion on this one, with our lack of height we’re in danger of conceding from every corner. The philosophy has to be “attack attack attack”
I agree with others that Forshaw is playing some of his best football but there is no point in playing two holding midfielders.
I would like to see Shackleton, who can drive forward, in place of Forshaw if we already have Phillips in the side.

i would also go with bamford, but would like to see allioski start over douglas.

I would start with Bamford. Started the season well and is now the man leading the line. He is a confidence player and very talented. Now is his time to take the chance.

Nketiah can be either brought in gradually or possibly in another attacking role.

I honestly had to think about this for a while, the simple cause I’m going to have to leave someone out who deserves to be playing which is why I suppose Bielsa gets the big bucks

Kiko - picks himself

Berardi
White
Coops
Douglas

Tricky here Dallas doesn’t deserve to be dropped and I arnt that big a fan of Berardi due to the issue he has with cards.

However he is a rightback and I prefer round pegs in round holes, I also think he is the better option because of what I’m going to do in front of him.

Douglas gets another chance for me... I really wish I knew why but I’m sure he can be better than he is

Phillips
Klich
Pablo

Phillips sitting in his preferred defensive role
Pablo back as a number ten with klitch being that third central role between the two.

Costa
Harrison

Costa on the right - which is why I wanted Berardi behind him and Harrison on the left

Bamford upfront

Dallas at the end of last season was arguably our best player and he was playing right back.

He is a better right back than Berardi

Maybe so, unsure if I agree with that.

However, as I have costa in front of him and I believe a large amount of our attacking options would go down that side involving him I’d play berardi as I think he is better defensively at right back, whereas I think Dallas is better going forward.

Like I said it’s tough, personally I expect Dallas to start cause he is doing a fantastic job there, however as I’ve changed what is going on ahead of him I’d change things where he is

Kiko picks himself
That must be the case as no one else would pick him

"Now I cannot say the team two days before the game because one supporter said that with two days to go I am giving the advantage to the opponents, knowing the team. But between you and I, it's going to be the same team," he told LUTV.
