He's going to need to play at some point. Sure. I'd rather he played as a right back though, which is what he is. He may have filled in ably on his weak flank in League 1, but against tougher opposition, he should play as a right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 26 August 2019 Share Posted 26 August 2019 A lot will depend on the Team they put out against us. They were really good against Spurs but were worked really hard by Spurs with a few picking up Hamstring injuries and muscle tightness etc. This should give us an advantage the longer it goes. We have a decent squad now so I'll be happy with whatever team we put out knowing we have a real chance to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted 27 August 2019 Share Posted 27 August 2019 Fuchs I’d of thought would need resting! Id like to see the reserves get game time for this one - much rather focus on the FA cup. We have just about got two players for every position barring midfield so I’d quite like to see people get a run out - maybe Demarai too and players like Fuchs who have been covering rested as they are the last line of realistic reserve.

Fuchs doesn’t need resting! He’s like a Suzuki Burgman 650... he just goes on and on with no fuss and no nonsense. Unlike modern day sports bikes that just make an appearance when the sun is shining! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 27 August 2019 Share Posted 27 August 2019 If they really have that many injuries i'd play as strong a team as possible and get in to the next round, we've missed a trick 2 seasons on the spin in this cup and we can make a raft of changes if the opposition in the next round is much easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 27 August 2019 Share Posted 27 August 2019 Couple of changes but nothing more. I'd be surprised if he went with Benkovic and Soyuncu but we might need them to play at some point so might as well through them in and see how they get on, its more likely to be Morgan though I'd reckon. Assuming Chilwell is not fit. Get Maddison central, Barnes to get some momentum going, Perez needs a goal and Justin played left back enough for Luton I think. Is Praet defensive minded enough to play alongside Tielemans and Maddison? If yes i'd like to try them 3 in the middle. Ward Ricardo Morgan Soyuncu Justin Choudhury Praet Maddison Albrighton Perez Barnes Subs: Jakupovic, Amartey, Benkovic, Tielemans, Gray, Iheanacho, Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 27 August 2019 Share Posted 27 August 2019 I'm worried that, with all their injuries, we'll turn up cocky, not put the effort in and their B team will beat us. Play Hamza and Barnes. They're young and eager to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Fox Posted 27 August 2019 Share Posted 27 August 2019 I know we're supposedly taking this seriously but are we going to see a youth player or two on the bench, like Lashebela or Tavares (probably a bit soon for the latter)? It'd be nice to see how they get on in a proper competitive men's game but I do agree that an otherwise strong side should be played. I'd love it if we got ourselves a pot this year.

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 27 August 2019 Share Posted 27 August 2019 Perez needs a goal. Hopefully see Justin get a run. Good chance for Praet to get involved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
