I want Tierney for the Forest game, would Tomi be playing also ?

Hoping Zinny will be available for both tbh. Maybe a sub run out on Thursday then start vs Forest.

Having Zinchenko back would make a big difference. There have been some issues in the last few games - some surely down to a bit of fatigue, but generally it felt like the shape hasn't been working as well, and we haven't had as much control as we should. For example, many times Gabriel came forward with the ball on Sunday and had no passing options. That's one of the key things Zinchenko offers - technical quality in the build up on that side of the pitch.

Also I think the Tomi at left back thing should be left for special occasions only. He did a great job on Salah but he hasn't offered a lot there since.

We can definitely get back on track this week. It feels like we are going to have to limp to the World Cup break a bit, and as per your article on that DJ, the WC might not be too bad for us, with only a few key players likely to go deep as far as I remember (although with recent injuries for Brazil and France that's potentially changed a bit).

Agree that Tomi should only be playing left back in specific circumstances. Interesting what will happen with Tierney in the long, he can't be happy with the current situation.

Lets hope for a Salzburg win so they would have to field a strong side just before our game
