Europa League Group Stage Squad

Good little dribble from Kelechi to release Maddison, shame he didn't finish it. Turned it up at the end of the half, and think we've looked relatively comfortable throughout so far.

 

yeah and can probably go up another couple of gears

 

Genius how Kelechi has used that defenders body to guide that into the corner!

 

#betterthanMessi

 

Piece of piss this.

 

get Madders and Tielemans off, Perez and one of the young lads on

 

Iheanacho is lucky there.

 

very, red card all day long

 

Don't think you meant Barnes but there you go!

 

no I didn't would have saved him and Vardy both for the weekend

 

Maddison gets his goal, he's been gagging for that this half. Could see his frustration a few times earlier.
Great performance.

And Perez has looked good in his short spell on the pitch.

 

a point needed from final 3 games to be sure of qualification

 

Kasper had nothing to do, back 3 were calm and assured, Thomas looks a very promising player but when Ricardo and Castagne are back we need to keep him involved.

Hamza in the Kante role looks quality, that's his role now do not use him as a holding man its a waste of him.

Madders looks back to his best, time for him to be back in the prem starting 11 regularly, Under tried a little too hard to impress at times and dwelled on the ball in a few instances Nacho scored a couple but was very lucky not to be sent off.

We've put ourselves in a very good position, we should be able to rotate a little heavier from here in the last 3 group games.

 

Yeah, probably should think about putting out a makeshift defence...

 

doing the best out of all the british sides.

 

So do we go experimental knowing we could win anyway but even if we don’t we should be able to get over the line in the last 2, or do we go balls out and play our strongest possible lineup?
I’m not too arsed either way, but:

Kasper
JJ Morgan Fofana Thomas
Choudhury Praet
Under Perez Barnes
Kelechi
​

I don’t think they showed enough to worry about Big Wes’s lack of mobility, and Hamza and Denis can go box to box. Perez can pull strings centrally, everyone else can score goals.... probably!...

 

if Wes plays we almost have to go with a back 3 he is too immobile to play a 4, given the news Castagne won't play I'd go with this

Kasper

Fofana Morgan Fuchs

Justin Hamza Praet Thomas

Under Iheanacho Barnes
​

if Evans plays instead of Wes though I'd leave Fuchs out for Perez and line up how you said

 

I think a reasonably strong team should still be picked, just with the instruction to not risk injury so dont push quite as hard as usual, winning the game will add confidence back in the team for next league game, and ideally want to enter next stage of competition with a positive mind.

 

win this game we are through for certain, so he will play the sort of team I posted as he has so far throughout, last 2 games the likes of Ward and some Kids can give the first team a break
