In the short term this allows Johnson to go on to the right where he is way more effective. Deki into Madders role, behind Richi.

When we have our key players back then Werner becomes a bench warmer.

Its a great place to be tbh. Half a dozen goals from the guy would be decent output.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don’t think he necessarily becomes a bench warmer. He is faster than Richi, and if he proves himself to be more clinical he could relegate Richi to the bench. Equally if Ange wants to play Son through the middle then Werner probably becomes his strongest option from the left. What we have now is an interchangeable group of options in attack - especially given that GLC and Kulu are able to play the no10 if Maddison isn’t there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If going by how Ange set his teams up with Celtic its more likely Werner has been signed to play wide and not up top.

I expect him to use Werner in the same way he used Maeda @ Celtic.

We have seen Son play wide and through the middle. Richy also. Johnson has played L & R.

I think Werner just adds to these options and will be used in any of these positions.

Werner Son Johnson must be the quickest attack in the league. Imagine that lot running at you after 80 minutes

He will keep full backs pinned back and allow us to dominate - he compliments our style well. If he can get 5 or 6 goals in the remainder of the season then that is a big tick

have a feeling he will score more than hlaf a dozen

This season? Ambitious but not impossible I guess.

This United game feels big, win this and I reckon we’re nailed on for top 4, draw or lose and it becomes more of a slog to the finish with us potentially keeping our fingers crossed 5th gets you in.

That’s short term though, long term I love what I am seeing at the moment

I dont think a draw is an issue, especially with the players missing. It keeps United 8 points behind us and we'd have to implode to let that lead slip, especailly as their form aint great either.

A loss, suddenly it's 5 points, them with renewed hope which could put them on a roll.

I'd take a draw right now!

I just think a win propels us further and really puts some fear into the likes of Arsenal and Villa - we have a fairly benign run after this game until those final 6 matches - with a full squad, lots of confidence and the injury crisis gone we could go in another run like the start of the season

A win keeps us dreaming of improbable things

I’ve always thought of Timo Werner as one of those players who isn’t as good as he looks. If AP sorts him out I’ll be very impressed. It could happen.

its such a shame about our injuries & internationals. How nice would it be go go in to big games vs manchester Utd & City with:

Vic

Porro Romero* VDV Udogie

Bissouma* Bentancur

Maddison*

Son* Richi Deki

Subs:
Dragosin
Davies*
Emerson
Sarr*
Johnson
Werner
Lo Celso*

Instead 7 out of 18 are missing.

He should bring more than what Johnson has so far
