Gundalf 806 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I dont think we will change the squad that much. Its all about getting the momentum and its international break soon anyway, no real need to rotate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would expect Maatsen/Madueke to get minutes and maybe one of the youngsters get a chance to play at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really no brainer for me. Lineup I posted should be enough for 4th division team. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With James out no chance we would risk Gusto in game like this. So we do not have natural RB. I guess lineup I posted you can rotate a bit and have Disasi as RB with two left footed CBs but that would not be natural defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,818 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Hopefully this changes. ESPN+ has EFL games, but this is currently not on the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Dont rush the guys coming back from injuries/on individual plans. If they need another week or two to get up to speed, take the time to do it, simple as that. Or put them in 15-20 at the end if safe to do so. Squad depth is reasonable enough to not take risks with likes of Broja or Badiashile if they aren’t 100% ready. Lavia also. Plus would like to see Levi and Jackson in particular keep their places as I think Jackson could get a few more goals and another physically challenging game would be a good experience for Levi IMO. He is going to find teams with big guys up front trying to pin him, so against lower quality, keep him in to learn. Also torn about keeping Sterling in, do we play him again for same reasons as Nico to get some goals or rest him and potentially disrupt his rhythm?

King Kante 1,643 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Wouldn't surprise me if Lukaku starts, scores 4 and then the stats people come out of the woodwork and start saying things like 'LoOk At HiS gAmE tO gOaLs RaTiO, wE sHoUlD GiVe HiM aNoThEr ChAnCe!'

Mhsc 1,097 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Hard to say what to do with this. In some way makes sense to play the same-ish team we want to go with on the weekend so they have time together to practice, gel and improve, but of course if anyone gets injured we'll be screaming "why the fuck were they even playing against Wimbledon?" and loads of lads deserve a chance to play that haven't had a decent chance yet. If we went with the same team that beat Luton and they go out and win 8-0 it could be really good for building confidence and cohesion in the team. On balance though given how many injury problems we've got I'd probably prioritise rotation, and give serious minutes to Maatsen, Mudryk (if fit), Madueke, Ugochukwu... Might keep the backline the same for the sake of letting them build together because they could probably use the confidence boost of a couple of back to back clean sheets after the West Ham result? Hard to say... Petrovic after all will want to play. Definitely rest Enzo. Fulham Broadway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
