The subs bench is horrific, though! 4 minutes ago, Ed 1 said: That bench is rank The positive of that is that they aren't stinking out the starting XI. If they do their jobs the bench is irrelevant. My money is on BDR coming on at 84mins 1

kiddo Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Okoli should be playing, and I’d try anyone instead of Justin.
filbertway Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Weird, it feels like the manager is seeing what the fans are seeing. I'm not used to this 1 1

Groby_Blue Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Decent. Let's get this won before we need to make any subs.

Popular Post kingfox Posted 15 January Popular Post Posted 15 January Wow, our strongest 11 on paper right now, well done Ruud. 5
foxfanazer Posted 15 January Posted 15 January If you're unhappy with our lineup and bench I suggest you go and look at Everton's. Moyes first game back and he's put two goalkeepers on the bench 2

Ndidi, Mads and Fatawu make thst squad look decent! I'd take Soumare over Ndidi, but yeah, Mads & Fatawu are losses. Our problems this season stretch far beyond the absence of two players though. But yes, sorry, happy with the line up given what's available. 1 1

J. James Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Front 4 looks good, back 4 look disastrous... Which will prevail?

Salieri Posted 15 January Posted 15 January It’s probably the best lineup we can put out atm, no complaints but it’s clear we need reinforcements, the bench is weak. Missing four players who would probably all start is a big loss for any team. Faes always worries me but I prefer him to Coady and he is used to playing alongside Vestergaard. It’s a huge game and I expect us to take the game to them, a good start is imperative, get the crowd up for this too. We were very unlucky not to beat this lot away, let’s put things right tonight!
StevieH Posted 15 January Posted 15 January I fear for us with Sarr, Mateta and Eze upfront. No confidence in our defence and they are a quality 3.

AjcW Posted 15 January Posted 15 January I think we need to ease off on the Okoli moans. He’s clearly a young lad who hasn’t settled. No team in their right mind would sell someone who has actually looked decent six months after buying… also the “doesn’t fit in Ruuds plans” narrative is to protect the players reputation in case he feels like he can move abroad again in a few years. 2
Number 6 Posted 15 January Posted 15 January How the bench looks will depend on how the game is going. If we're ahead then there are options there to see it out. If we're behind then we're screwed. He's started the strongest 11 available though, can ask no more.
Sunbury Fox Posted 15 January Posted 15 January With Faes and Vesty at CB, Bouba and Winks in CM, and the 3 behind the striker, we have lots of good technical players in the team, which hopefully means we can control possession more effectively. Here's hoping anyway!
