Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Josh and Ryan to start, maybe even Lukaku. Hutch to get some minutes. Chalobah and Lalković on the bench. It will never happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Any player who has played a big part in the christmas programme should be rested for this one and i mean not even on the bench.----------------------------------------------Turnbull--------------------------------------Hutchinson----Cahill(if signed)---------------Ivanovic----------Bertrand----------------------------------------------Chalaboh-----------------------------------------------------------------McEachran------------------Malouda-----------------Kalou-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Kakuta----------------------------------------------Lukaku----------------------------------------SUBS: Hilario, Kane, B.Clifford, Deen-Conteh, Djalo, Lalkovic, Phillip.It games like this were still having Kalou and Malouda with their expierence around will come in handy.Ivanovic should play as he missed the christmas period so will have a run out.Hopefully a CB will be signed by then so can slot alongside.Hutchinson and Bertand deserve shots at full back while Chalaboh and McEachran shouldplay CM.Kakuta we should re-call and let him play this one before sending him on loan in France.I know it will leave us pretty thin but the first team players need a rest, they looked like running on empty at times in the festive games and really need a week to freshen up.

teignman 441 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 This is definitely a match for youth to be served. Pompey aren't doing so hot this season, so I think we should still win even with an extremely young lineup. The only caveat is this is a cup tie, so anything can happen. Looking forward to watching this one if the perveyors of streaming internet abide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjdd 11 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Youth players have a lot to do with match experience, and Porthmouth ( if they do not give up ) have more experienced and more physically strong players which could cause problems. so I would rather expect a mixed line-up, after all our players have a whole week to recover.

Nic! 301 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'd opt for a mix with youth players who have a bit of experience, like Lukaku, Josh and Bertrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedish House Mafia 508 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hutchinson, Lukaku, Bertrand and McEachran to start please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Drog 1,110 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Is this game being shown on any television station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ziggles 110 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I know it's not on ITV (instead they'll show United vs City and the Peterborough match)... but Sky Sports have been useless as of late, for the last few weeks we've only seen ONE or TWO proper matches.But yeah, hope a bunch of our youngsters + some of the older players with points to prove play, not the same old same old.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If we can beat them at the start of the season with pretty much our reserves and them being 1 week ahead of us in match fitness then we should beat them this time too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thank god this game is on Sunday.Wouldnt worry about it, when i was 8 i was forced to sit in the home crowd at Highbury (dads a gooner), turns out that match i had to suffer through watch was Thierry Henry's debut and i didn't relise that until he left Worst 90 minutes of my life by far.
