Sheffield United... Away.. Tuesday.

[EnglishOxide]

I'd like to see:

 

------------------------Jakupovic------------------

Simpson---Amartey---Maguire----Chilwell

----Gray--------Mendy------Iborra------Musa--

------------------Slimani-----Vardy-----------------

 

 

If Iborra isn't fit then King is in there, likewise Ulloa for Vardy if Vardz is only a bench option.

 

I dont see why Shakey would change formation, although it would be nice to see Musa, Gray and Slimani tested out up front.

[Cropwellfox]

Think we will line up 442 and reasonably strong 

 

Hamer

Amartey

Maguire

Benny/Knight

Chilwell

Gray

King

Ndidi

Musa

Slimani

Okazaki

 

subs Jakupovic Benny/Knight Mendy Vardy, Ulloa, Thomas, Albrighton

[FoxinNotts]

3-4-3 trial for me:

 

Jakupovic

 

Amartey

Knight

Benalouane

 

Albrighton

King

Mendy

Chillwell

 

Musa

Slimani

Gray

I think this will be very close to the team. If Maguire does play, will be interesting to see the reaction he gets...

 

Be nice to see another U23 or two in the squad too 

[TheMightySystem]

Ndukwu just retweeted this, be interesting to see if he gets any game time, didn't do much wrong in his short cameo in pre season.

 

[ealingfox]

Our end will try and give Ched Evans shit and he'll promptly score. Nailed on.

Like the thought behind the  selection, though if fit, Iborra would get the nod in front of King.

Seeing Slim, with Shinji another  good call. If Nacho had been fit, then I would of gone with him,

before Shinji.

I could see CS actually putting this team out.....

 

Vardy needs to recuperate, the knock looked heavy.

Huth & Benny need game time, they still could be our 2 main CBs if we take injuries.

Yes we need to get Gray and Chilly early into the season.

Amartey What to do??  He has to make this season his own..

 

Can see Amartey's career suffering as a result of his versatility..perhaps needs to concentrate on one position instead of being a jack of all trades and a master of none. Maybe a loan spell in the Championship where he gets a run of games at centre back similar to Liam Moore at Reading

[drofmor55]

meant to say loan spell at Brentford..

I reckon most of our fans would rather sing his name in support

I would think Harry will get a very good reception. Sheffield boy and was captain of United at a young age. Player of the season for them at least once I recall.

Hope so, one of their own!

If we're serious about the cup I wouldn't make too many changes. We played a full strength side against Palace 3 days before our game against Atletico. Our players should be able to handle playing Tuesday & Saturday.

 

Schmeichel

Simpson, Amartey, Maguire, Chilwell

Albrighton, Iborra, Ndidi, Gray

Mahrez

Slimani

I like it!

[st albans fox]

Iborra isn't fit 

 

ibteresting re vardy. I imagine he is desperate to feature given his roots. Hopefully the manager will pick him only as a potential 'desperation sub' which allows him the banter of warming up on the touchline. 

 

Playing him when he doesn't need to would strike me as the manager allowing the player to dictate to him against the best interest of the team. would you trust vardy not to get a red card against the blades ???? (I assume the ref will not be an experienced prem one)

[Lovejoy]

Any chance we might see the likes of Sam Hughes or George Thomas on the bench for this one?

Touchy bunch, apparently.

Hamer is ahead of a Swiss International goalkeeper

"Former Swiss international goalkeeper".

One senior cap so far!

 

Hasn't played for the national team in nine years and publicly stated he'd never play for Switzerland again due to family reasons.

It's on Sky! 

LCFC TV also?

[fuchsntf]

So we know....

out: Iberro...DD....Huth...Morgan...Nacho...

possible after doubt:  Vardy..Mendy

I did like @drofmor55 1st selection, but after knocks and CS input

 

1st my Bench:    Vardy, Mahrez, Maguire, Schmeichel.Thomas/Ndidi/ Fuchs, Knight.

 

team:

 

Jaku

Simpson Benny Amartey Chilwell

                     Mendy

          Gray James King

            Slimani  Musa

 

lets see if the 3 buys from last season can claim their right for

Top 14 places, with More gametime.

Plus Amartey must state his claim.

[ZeGuy]

What's happening wth our midfield? Preserved for ManU or a ground to worry?

Jakupovic

 

Simpson - Amartey - Maguire - Chilwell

 

Gray - Ndidi - King - Albrighton

 

Okazaki - Slimani

 

6 changes.

 

Please nothing like the pre-season friendlies.

This feels the most sensible to me. Vardy on the bench.

[Fox92]

I am interested to see who starts in goal given we signed Jakupovic but Hamer is preferred to sit on the bench during PL games.

This back three trial makes no sense. If your going to trial it do it with the players that will play every week. We need to know it suits our first choice players not three that won't play.

[filbertway]

Hope we treat this with respect and play a strong team. We'll get absolutely mullered by Man U anyway, so may as well go for it this game.

[Captain...]

I little bit of rotation, Gray and Chilwell must start, one of Ulloa and Slimani to come in, Benny, Amartey or Knight to partner Maguire, King in for James, Jakupovic if ready

 

So:

 

Jakupovic

Simpson Maguire Amartey* Chilwell

Albrighton Wilf King Gray

Okazaki

Slimani

 

*I've gone for Amartey as I think he is going to be mr utility and most likely to be trusted against Man U at the weekend if Morgan isn't going to be back. In fact if Morgan is out for a while I would chose the back 3/4/5 I am going to play at Old Trafford otherwise that will be the first time they play together against Lukaku and co

When was the last time we saw Amartey at centre back during a Premier League game? It seems we use anyone but him, can't see him being put in against Man Utd. What makes you think he will?
