It’s about -6C here, I cleared the driveway of snow yesterday, then we got a bit more overnight but I decided to leave that. Might be a bad choice as it becomes an ice rink
Taking the day off - need to use up some annual leave which will disappear at the end of the year if I don’t. Nice lunch with Mrs ROTW then the match is coming up. Love it.
I hope we see Wirtz behind Isak again. In the last game there were decent signs that Wirtz was looking for him and I think if that clicks it will be very fruitful, moving forwards. I would also like to see Ekitike replace Gakpo because I want to see if that can work, and if so, it could be a good upgrade. I expect Salah will start on the right, and if so, hopefully he has a good game, and at the same time, hopefully Wirtz will remain the main man as this needs to be established as his team.
Fullback? I’m predicting Jones as fullback. Gomez did really well last time, but if he is at the stage of needing injections I’m not sure it is wise to put him in again so soon, especially as we are bare bones in central defence.
Three points the most important thing. Beyond that another clean sheet would be nice, plus no injuries, and a bit of confidence growing in the side as remember who we are.
Like that team a lot!!! Bit harsh on Kerkez as I thought he did ok in the last match. But that said Robbo deserves to play too. Great lineup from the boss. Another 2-0 please lads.
