Looking at who has travelled I think the back 4 picks itself. Amartey Evans Soyuncu Fuchs Lots of European game experience there. The rest of the team is pretty straightforward. Id be delighted with 1 each and get them back to the KP I think Thomas has to be ahead of Fuchs now. 7

Yep - I am sure it will be Fuchs last season with us and so we need to be investing in Luke now. Gutting to think it’s unlikely we will be able to give Fuchs a send off :(. 5

I would normally agree, I just think away from home in Europe we need to go with experience. Fuchs has played 50 odd games in European competition plus big international games - that experience is what we need in tough away games. 1

Crazy Kop Corner Posted 18 February 2021 Posted 18 February 2021 I wonder if he may play a back 5 with Fuchs and Thomas - It worked in games earlier in the season. I'd also play Under tonight and Barnes to give us some real breakaway pace. Pre Match nerves have kicked in already. COYB
Nick Posted 18 February 2021 Posted 18 February 2021 I guess we shouldn’t fear some of the big names left in this competition who will likely be in the last 16 / 8 bit casting your eyes down the fixture list is mouth watering, be great to get an Ajax, PSV, AC Milan, Roma or a Napoli... it will no doubt be Man Utd at home though FA Cup mk2!

when_you're_smiling Posted 18 February 2021 Posted 18 February 2021 You look at their recent record and they basically score three or four goals in every game. Playing a team like that often plays into our hands so we can counter, but if we’re not on it, there’s the chance we could lose heavily and have too much to do in the second leg. They’re obviously going to be full of confidence a d it’s a free shot for them. Need to go full strength and hit them on the counter.
whoareyaaa Posted 18 February 2021 Posted 18 February 2021 think were gonna lose today dunno why 2-1 never seen them play though but i doubt it will be easy

Nick Posted 18 February 2021 Posted 18 February 2021 What’s the situation with u23 players in terms of registration for the Europa competition? Is DC or Tavares or Lesh eligible to play?

Is DC or Tavares or Lesh eligible to play? Academy U21 players who have trained with the club for 3 or more years don't have to be named in the squad list but are registered on a B list. Leshabela, Tavares and Flynn have all travelled. VDC has only been with us 18 months and wasn't named in the main EL squad so is ineligible. The current players on the B list from memory are: Stolarcyzk Flynn Nelson Thomas Leshabela Fitzhugh Tavares Wright (out on loan) Shade 1 1
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 18 February 2021 Posted 18 February 2021 What I’m getting from this thread is that they are in good form. But aren’t they playing shit every week in the Czech league? Shouldn’t we have far too much for them over two legs? Or am I missing something? 1

They are a very good and capable side playing in not a very good league. Their League is ranked 19th by UEFA (SPL 11th). BUT - Anyone thinking this will be a pushover are massively mistaken. Red Star Belgrade sorted us out all those years ago and their domestic League was ravaged by War at the time! So talking about the standard of their League is not necessarily an accurate barometer. Sadly we are without several key players. 1 1

We should have too much for them over two legs, like we should have beaten Fulham and Leeds at home. They do play in an inferior league but you can only play what's in front of you and they are 10 points clear. Don't forget, they made it out their group by beating Leverkusen and Nice at home. We have to turn up and be professional, we can't underestimate them. They are a proper banana skin. 1
AKCJ Posted 18 February 2021 Posted 18 February 2021 Given what's available, this is what i'd play. Kasper Amartey Soyuncu Fuchs Albrighton Ndidi Tielemans Thomas Maddison Vardy Barnes Would be tempted to play Ndidi at centre half and play Mendy in midfield just so we can keep better hold of the ball and have more pace at the back too. 1
