Team for Barnsley

No Edwards. Staying with U23s.

#thfc Pochettino says Nkoudou & Oakley-Boothe will be in the squad and that Harry Winks "maybe has the facility to play in the starting XI”.

Vorm

Trippier Foyth Vertonghen KWP
.........Dier....Winks
.............Dele
...........Son GKN
...........Llorente

Llorente needs pace around him. GKN and Son will provide that.

Dele plays most advanced of a 3 man midfield joining in attacks and should be able to dominate as thats the position he played for MK in the championship against similar opposition.

ToB? If so CM who could play wide

Oakley-Booths touches for England v the Dutch in the Summer are on Youtube. The kid looks an absolute talent, makes it look easy.

I have seen similar of Onomah, and although the talent is there he is also a physical specimen compared to his peers.

This kid is not the biggest, but he plays like a hybrid of Dembele and Winks. Carries like the former, tidy with it like the latter.

Obviously it is a huge step up, and many have fallen by the wayside after being the next best thing, but I am intrigued to see his development
