No shape or organisation to it and very narrow. They'd get overridden so easily. Unless you sacrifice Ozil for Monreal/Kolasinac as a LB. That's a seriously ropey defence. Little difference to reality really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted September 4, 2017 Administrator Share Posted September 4, 2017 Unless I'm missing something, they don't have many other homegrown, if any, aside from Chambers and Holding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be mid table. At best. The same with City. 1 minute ago, Burning Gold said: And Cech, Coquelin, Iwobi Coquelin and Iwobi are home grown. Iwobi was born in England too I'm sure.

I actually had to check Coquelin and Iwobi - they are classed as homegrown . To fix that, I'd swap Ozil for Wilshere. With a squad that weak you'd have to keep Cech in goal.

Not sure if that would count as 'not foreign' in this hypothetical, particularly as Iwobi is an international for another country, but I don't want to bicker about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United once didn't play Schmeichel to accommodate the Home nation players (UEFA considered them 'foreign') and United reserve keeper Gary Walsh played. Against Barca. At the Nou Camp. They got battered 4-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
