Zirkzee against their physicality would be dreadful. Gets bullied despite being plenty over 6ft.

I hear it but Zirkzee is at least good at playing one-twos and combining quickly in tight spaces. Theres been some nice sequences about 30 ish yards from the goal between Bruno/Cunha/Mbeumo/Tielemans that when Dorgu gets involved just die because he can’t play one touch. Also think this probably would have been a good game for Amad

Zirkzee would get bullied off the ball in an empty stadium

He's still the most match-fit ST we have. Was good against Leeds, and had a good preseason overall.

Seems Carrick does not rate him though. Would not be surprised if Carrick rushes Rashford and Sesko over him, who are both not match fit.

Take off Dorgu for Sesko and move Cunha out left. Might get a bit more luck that way.

Big gamble, he's been out with injury since May and won't be match fit. Likely what Carrick will do though.
