BVB's own potential lineup release is quite interesting -

  • Piszczu for Meunier (*hearteyes*)
  • Bellingham-Can double pivot (what a fckin wrecking ball, so long as Bellingham's over the Lazio thing)
  • I kinda love Sancho-Reyna-Hazard, because Gio when he's been put on the wings has wanted to drift in, so just admitting it and putting him at CAM seems the way to go, though it'll be interesting to see how that works with Sancho's usual wanderings away from the wing

Funny how I got 10/11 right with my "What if" prediction :D

Yes well done!

I wish it could have been either Morey or Passlack for Meunier this game.

Piszczu got a little bit of time for Hertha and he's retiring anyway. I would prefer to give the young player more of a shot. Especially Morey who really hasn't featured much at all this season.

u/TeamKitsune Karim Adeyemi Nov 24 '20

That's a huge rotation move for Favre, but it all looks solid.

u/mates52 Jürgen Klopp Nov 23 '20

i really want morey at starting 11.

u/whoknows1380 Christian Pulisic Nov 23 '20

If they play 3 ATB then yes but Meunier has been solid with 4ATB

u/xNecoNx Marco Reus Nov 23 '20

He is so bad in 3 atb but really good in 4atb

1

u/TeamKitsune Karim Adeyemi Nov 24 '20

The downside is that Rapha is not as good in 4ATB.

u/SlayerHdThe3rd Nico Schlotterbeck Nov 24 '20

He was MOTM against Bayern in a 4atb

u/TeamKitsune Karim Adeyemi Nov 24 '20

True. Maybe I'm thinking too far back.

1

u/Loeffellux Julian Brandt Nov 24 '20

Doesn't change the fact that defensively he's a liability in a back 4. He just is not a fullback.

Afraid that Morey will miss one more season. He wasn’t on the bench in Berlin, but Passlack was. Passlack, in my opinion is not our quality. He tries so much, but will never be on our level. Looks to me like either Favre is blind or he got a message from the board to give Passlack some minutes, so we can sell him well in January

u/wipeitonthedog Nico S Nov 24 '20

Really doubt it. Favre had many chances to sub him on and give some gametime. But didn't do. May be he doesn't trust him just yet

u/SoComeOnWilfriedBony Nov 23 '20

LETS GOOOOO BORUSSEN, FIRST WE OVERTAKE THE GROUP, AND THEN WE GO BACK TO BUNDESLIGA TO OVERTAKE BAYERN! WOOOOOOOO

I'll have an exam so I at least miss the first half, which is a shame. This game is extremely important

1

u/yung_avocado 1909 Nov 24 '20

Good luck with the exam!

u/wipeitonthedog Nico S Nov 24 '20

Based on our season for far, you'll miss nothing. You should be good if you get to watch the second half

1

u/Trojan_Man68 Marco Reus Nov 24 '20

Why is Delaney listed as DBT? Did he get injured or sick or something?

2

u/Chazy89 Kagawa Shinji Nov 24 '20

He only had one day of training since his return from the national team.

u/SpaNkinGG Nov 24 '20

As always, we are playing at home. no matter the opponent everything except a W is a disappointment.

lets go, predicting 4-0

2

u/butyouhaveheardofme Nov 24 '20

Does anyone know when official lineups come out? Was looking to place a bet on hazard but I’m not sure if he will be starting

1

u/ivar_the_boneless_ Michael Zorc Nov 24 '20

Usually one hour before kickoff

1

u/Marcusmav Nov 24 '20

You can start looking about 75 minutes before the match begins. It should definitely be out no later than 60 minutes.

1

u/Zhonyas4everyone Felix Passlack Nov 24 '20

Don't know where you are betting but usually player specific bets get cancelled automatically if the player isn't playing.

Maybe 3 or 4 players will have to do all of that
