My 15 year old son and I have spent a while discussing things this afternoon and we are not sure. If everyone was available and we had the Europa Cup final, what would our line up be?

I think we are looking at the following. I have put an asterisk next to the ones I don’t think are particularly debatable.

Bart
Hinshelwood JPVH* Dunk* Pervis*
Gross* wee billy*
Adingra Pedro* mitoma*
Welbz

The issue is that this means no enciso or Facundo (who is fast becoming a favourite in our house). No Fati. No fergie. No solly. No Veltman (who I always like in big matches).

Would Pedro start up front and someone instead of Welbz?

It made us wonder if RDZ knows his best side given they have never all been available.

We agreed we don’t really have a clue. What do others think?

I think many of us would agree that we don't have a clue either! I'm not even sure that de Zerbi does....................

Solly, when fit, comfortably ahead of Adingra.

The attacking riches when all players are fit is sensational really. Mitoma, March, andringa, Fati, Pedro, Welbeck, Ferguson, Facundo, Ensico, Lallana all fighting over 4 spots and that’s before we decided to add some depth on deadline day signing 3 talented youngsters that maybe knocking on the door for a spot next season.

Rather have Veltman in a game of that magnitude if Fati is fit and firing surely he has to play he can turn on a dime.

If everyone was available, Solly starts over Adringa.
If the opposition team was particularly strong or had a very tricky winger, Velts would get in over Jack, for the experience.
Conversely in Dublin, Fergie may start over Welbeck. Anywhere else, Danny probably gets the nod.

Veltman for Hinshelwood, Solly in for Adingra. Enciso in the 10 role with Pedro up front.

Hell of a subs bench to choose from.

Im not sure.

But I'm quite confident that the rotation we saw in the early season is coming back in a big way.

Yeah, almost put him down too, I think you're probably right.

I'd love to see that team all fit and on form. The bench would also be insanely strong with everyone back.

I just love that some of the people putting their team together are considering the excellent work that an 18yr old from Sussex has a part of their thoughts.


Anyway

Dunk
Gross
Pedro

and 8 others

It’s harsh on Hinsh, given how well he’s done since he came in but IMO he doesn’t get near our starting XI when everyone is fit. Veltman and Lamptey ahead of him at RB for me.
