[Gladystweet]

The winning of this football match would be preferable to the drawing or even losing of said affair.

Indeed. Sod entertainment, we've got to win this any way possible.

After Koeman's comments about playing his best side, I think he will play something along the lines of the above.

The triangle of tediousness reunited.

Walking speed only.

Klassen / Rooney / Siggi

We'll win this. I think we're a bit too good not too.

Yes, I have seen us play lately.

be nice to see our nearly £50 MILLION player - play like one !

 

[Bungle]

This'll be another embarrassment, no faith in us to get a result even against these.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

If we can't tank a lesser-ran from Cyprus then Oumar should be tasked with giving Ronald his P45.

 

[Lob]

Hoping to win this by at least 3 goals. It Will help repair the damage of the first away tie we completely messed up. No reason why we cant as we are at home and a much better team who plays in a much tougher league. COYB's

Last night had a dream we beat these 4-0.

Night before I had a dream Kate Upton was in my bed.

Take it for what its worth.

 

[PeregrineT]

This is obviously the 1 must win game. You have to beat the worst team in the group at home if you have any hope to go forward. Heres the lineup Im hoping to see:

Pickford
Kenny, Holgate, Williams, Baines
Schneiderlin
Davies, Klaassen, Siggurdson, Lookman
Sandro

Lots more pace, with 2 attacking mids, an aggressive lineup that finally sees what we would be like without Rooney on the field. Rooney is old and cant handle playing 4 matches in 13 days, if theres any one to get an off day on its this one.

[People75]

I would like to see, Rooney as a lone striker, up front.

I know, me, me, me, but it's you every time Koeman

Pickford
Kenny - Holgate - Williams - Martina
Vlasic - Davies - Klaassen - Lookman
Sandro - DCL​

My personal starting XI. Kenny and Davies to start 100%, Martina rotating in to rest Baines, Vlasic & Lookman to utilise the width on both sides, with two strikers and Klaassen in to keep things ticking. Think that's pretty decent myself, I personally don't think we need Morgan or Gana from the off in this game as we'll be expected to pressure them with the ball from minute one.
