We could probably get away with playing the u18 defence against these, they pose next to no threat going forward

Corners and set pieces anyone can score against us.

I finally have us down for clean sheet and that seldom happens with me. It won't be a walkover, though.

3-1 Everton win i go for.

I'm confident, they did well to stay up but they are a poor side I think and they'll struggle. Not the worst game to cope with for suspensions/injuries.

We still have to be up for it though, and need a clean sheet.

2-0

These are absolutely chronic, for that reason alone we should be backing ourselves.

FWIW I would be keeping the full backs the same as last night.

Pickford

Kenny
Holgate
Zouma
Digne

Morgan
Gueye

Walcott
Sig
Bernard

Tosun

RB Leipzig are out of the champions league now, so can’t afford him.

But they never played in a CL quals this season, mate. They finished 6th last season.

I'd go with:-

Pickford

Coleman, Holgate, Zouma, Digne
Gana, Davies / Sneid
Walcott, Sigurdsson, DCL (Bernard if he was fit)
Tosun

MartSlinger · August 30, 2018

If Gana isn't fully fit theres no point risking him back in - especially given that Schneiderlin is back now.

Pickford
Coleman Holgate Zouma Digne
Schneiderlin
Walcott Davies Sigurdsson DCL
Tosun

Only right to reward DCL with a start after his two goals last night and with Lookman, Richarlison and Bernard not fit/suspended, he seems to be the only option for there. Baines cost us the 3 points on Saturday IMO and Digne impressed last night.

a comfortable 1-0 win.

toffeejack · August 30, 2018

maybe digne could play left wing?

As the transfer window will be shut by then, there will be no more distractions for Lookman and I think he will start, RB Leipzig are out of the champions league now, so can’t afford him.

If it’s not Lookman then hopefully Bernard gets the nod and gets at least 60 minutes.

Hoping for 3 points but it’s not a given, against Rotherham our back 4 made mistakes, against a premiership team those mistakes would be punished. We need to be at it from the first whistle, get an early goal and I think they will crumble

That's RB Salzburg m8.

3-0 written in the stars, we will smash these, Bernard, Tosun, Gana to score

LostLegend · August 30, 2018

Ooh nice to see a bit of competition for places here.

Schneiderlin protects the CB's better than Gana, but dropping Davies would be harsh imo.
DCL making a claim with his goals as well, but Tosun has been good as a target man.

Nice problems to have for sure!

These are poor and in a few months time we'd be turning these over by a wide margin. But obvious that the team is still adapting (especially defensively) so a win of any description will do.

Extra points if we can do it with out conceding from a set-piece or going down to 10 men again... :confused:

Pickford

Coleman - Holgate - Zouma - Digne

Schneiderlin - Davies

Sigurdsson

Walcott - Tosun - DCL

Would imagine we will be back to virtually the same side as last week with Zoumaor Jags for Keane and probably Bernard in for Richarlison but we could easily play DCL out there instead. Should be snotting these whatever side we put out to be honest. If we do we can say that is a very solid start to the season and a good foundation to build from.
