esquire8 43,574 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 2nd string in what is nothing more than a midseason friendly. Only issue is the B team are in europe themselves tomorrow so probably no youth to call upon and 3 of the back 4 will have to play again.

Sets us up with 5 players on defensive duties, well 6 if you add in the keeper. The other 5 have license to attack at every opportunity. No idea what the team will be but that's how we will set up. Actually feel that we will win this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he wants to field a “strong” team, there are a few players who the gulf in class to their replacement is too large to gamble on an injury. Leave Kamara at home. Losing him and Aribo at the moment would be a hammer blow We can still field a strong team V Lyon, we have a strong squad.

toolongawake 1,209 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Don't see us going mental with changes. Patterson and Bacuna I would like to see start, King I can see the temptation to bring in, but defensively we've had a poor start to season so think from here on out we need to keep as steady a backline as is available.

JackAlex93 11,580 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'd like to see a relatively strong side starting in France. This is the kind of game Patterson should be starting in IMO. Hopefully a good performance to take in to Sundays massive game at Tynecastle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s a problem with momentum when this happens it’s the same as rotating players. Especially if our fringe players are nowhere good enough. Keeping the same players together creating that winning momentum/ethos is sometimes more beneficial than “resting” players I trust GVB though Essandoh 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR3 12,746 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Bearing in mind, when I say fringe players at the moment that could be: Jack, Lundstram, Roofe, Wright, Patterson.

bluenoz 31,267 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'm sure Lyon will rest players ahead of their game with Lille. Anyone sitting on a yellow card suspension going into the last 32 should not be considered. I believe that might be Morelos.
