I'm just amazed at the teams some posters are coming up with! Last year Puel got slaughtered on here for playing second string teams. We got beaten at Newport, and some people think the team we should put out should contain several players who haven't played more than a few minutes this season! We need a full strong team please BR. Yes the P/L is important, but decent cup runs should be a priority this season. I think we've a really great chance of winning either cup this season, but it'll only come if we take it very seriously. Most P/L teams will give priority to the P/L, or their European ambitions, so we should be one of the strongest teams in the cups this year. Playing the likes of Armarty, Benkovic, Mendy, Iheanacho (ye gods!) & Gray in the same team is like putting out a 9 man team. Maybe give Justin a go, and rest Maddison if his injury needs rest. Otherwise I'd play the same team as against Spuds. If Maddison is out, I'd put Albrighton on the wing and move Perez just behind Vardy. I reckon Luton will be well up for this. We're away from home and it'll be a P/L scalp for them. Put out of full team and that takes away the confidence boost Luton will gain by playing our fringe or second string players. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynard Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 Presuming Maddison is out I'd keep the team largely the same though I would rest Evans as he's one of our most important players this season for me. Probably bring in Morgan. Vardy also could do with a rest, he worked very hard against Spurs so I'd play Perez in his role and hope he scores as this would boost his confidence. Albrighton probably would replace Perez's role. Maybe bring in Praet for Maddison and push Tielemans further forward? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 We can rotate and put out a side strong enough to play any championship team. Evans Madders and Vardy should be rested, others might be. I expect to see something like this: Ward Justin Morgan Soyuncu Fuchs Chouhury Albrighton Tielemans Praet Gray Perez Bench to include Pereira, Mendy, Iheancho, Barnes, Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 Must play Benko. Needs game more than Wesain Bolt. The Newport Team was full of deadwood and slower at the back than a Trabant. We can make 6/7 changes and with the correct attitude come through this. Take them lightly and we will be dumped out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 Listen, I know you're all very scarred by Newport. But. This is a squad game. We play our best 11 every game in a season, we'll end up like Wolves are right now. There's absolutely no excuse not to rest at least a few of our older/tiring players (e.g. Tielemans, Evans, Vardy) in order to preserve momentum for later on in the season. A team like Ward J.J Benkovic Soyuncu Chilwell Tielemans Hamza Praet Barnes Iheanacho Perez Has plenty of quality and young, hungry players with a point to prove. It would do fine against an utterly disillusioned Luton that sits 21st in the Championship and just got pumped 3-0 at home by Hull. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something that a lot of scaremongers don't realise or refuse to acknowledge. The B team we sent out against Newport was full of has beens and players who had no drive and were just past it. Hamza was the only player trying to accomplish something outside of Ghezzal. But we have plenty of young squad players with a point to prove that should seize their chances, particularly Benkovic as you say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 I'd go second string. You lot are pussies. This is Luton Town we're talking about. Ward Amartey Morgan Benko Chilwell Mendy Praet Tielemans Gray Iheanacho Albrighton Put Vardy, Madders and Choudhury on the bench just in case we need them.

Stadt Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 Ward Justin Evans Benkovic Fuchs Albrighton Hamza Praet Tielemans Barnes Iheanacho That’s a fairly strong team still, can see Rodgers going with a diamond though to get more players that need minutes in.

Got to be a question mark about his fitness and him not operating at the level of last season. Something clearly not right and I hope it is being addressed as we speak.

Phube Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 Call me a sentimental old sausage but I’d like to see Justin get a game. Also maybe try Perez up along with Vardy in a classic 4-4-2 (with Maddison injured/rested). Kaspar/Ward - either is good Justin - sentimental Soyuncu Morgan/Benkovic - Evans is too old to play too often! Chilly/Fuchs - either is good Barnes - see him as an out and out winger Tielemans Praet - no need for fully blown CDM Albrighton/Gray Perez Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 Its a tough one as we don't want a repeat of Newport (cant see that under Brendan though to be fair) but we will need our squad players as the season wears on so they will need some game time. For me id go. Ward, Justin, Soyuncu/Benko (depending on where Benko is with fitness), morgan, Fuchs, Hamza, Tielemans, Praet, Albrighton, Barnes/Gray, Iheanacho. Some have suggested us playing 4-4-2 but i cant see Brendan moving away from our usual formation and tactics either the 4-1-4-1 or 4-3-3. Our squad is still learning Brendans methods so would be pointless changing formations or tactics if it's not something we plan on doing throughout the season.

Yeah was thinking that, suppose he could whack Mendy in there or Leshabela? Choudhury, Praet and Ndidi would be turgid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
