Match Thread League Cup Third Round vs Sunderland (H) - THERE ARE NO STREAMS FFS

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I would play Niasse and Kenny purely on the grounds they can't be any worse than those who have been playing

I'd play the following in a 4-4-1-1 formation

Pickford
Kenny, Holgate, Keane, Baines
Lennon, Davies, Gana, Martina
Sigurdsson
DCL

Bench of
Stek, Jagielka, Klaassen, Schneiderlin, Lookman, Vlasic, Niasse

Wow, doing that bench really highlighted how weak we are on defensive options

Rooney not in the squad?

---------------Stek--------------
----Holgate--Keane--Jags------
-Martina----------------Baines-
------------Davies---------------
-Lookman--------------Lennon-
-------------Klaasen-------------
-------------Niasse---------------

Subs:
Pickford,Keane,Mirallas,Williams,Gana,Vlasic,Sigurdson

Hopefully Martina & Baines can provide some good crosses into the box for Niasse

I'd rest him personally

He's played a lot of games recently

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I really hope we don't play niasse, this is a great opportunity for DCL or Sandro to get a goal and get their confidence up.

That is the exact same team i would go for except i would put dcl in there instead of Niasse

I omitted DCL based on the fact he's probably our most established player up top at present. Be a shame if Niasse didn't get at least a chance considering the opposition and the fact we have a more important game next midweek.

If Rooney starts tomorrow he's probably got a clause in his contract meaning he has to start every game

 

[danielsen]

guess it's not on TV ? So we'll win

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I'd be surprised if he plays Niasse to be honest, although I'd be in favour of it at this stage

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Hopefully the crowd get behind them, strangely its usually a better atmosphere with a smaller attendance, bizarrely I'm looking forward to going!!

 

[BillLovesRoo]

Unfortunatly we all know stek will start ahead of pickford

 

[snipellis11]

Big game for us this, the team and fans need to stick together, we need to start quick give the fans something to shout about, could do with a win by a few goals.

Will the OS be showing this?
