Would drop Mo and Nunez, both have contributed very little in terms of goals and general link up play.
Bit harsh on Nunez. He scored a very well taken goal vs Wolves in the FA Cup and then he got injured. Since he has been back from injury he's been reduced to 2 sub appearances for barely even 30mins. In the 2 appearances he's looked a damn sight more dangerous than Gakpo and Salah. Not forgetting he's been putting in a shift defensively too, something that goes unnoticed is how often he's tracking back and winning back the ball for us.
Many players don't deserve to play but we don't have the luxury of dropping several players and playing a load of youngsters isn't going to help matters.
Hopefully the team kick themselves into gear.
Ali, Trent, Gomez, Matip, Kostas, Bajcetic, Thiago, Keita, Gakpo, Darwin, Salah.
Gone for Kostas because IMO Robbo had an absolute stinker vs Brighton, one of his worst performances for us, I'm amazed he managed to tie his boots right the way it was going for him. Mentally he doesn't seem great either, he keeps talking about the team letting fans down, team not playing good enough etc but isn't even getting the basics right so give him the week off from starting and get Kostas in there with his delivery.
And for the love of god, play players in their actual positions, i.e. Gakpo on the left.
Can't see us keeping a clean sheet so if we get the win, we will have to get a couple of goals at least.
