Think Tiote, De Jong and Aarons will start this one, try build the squad's match fitness.

 

Probably see Darlow, Thauvin, Williamson and maybe even Dummet.

 

                        Darlow

 

Janmaat  Williamson  Coloccini  Dummett

 

                Tiote      Colback

 

Thauvin          de Jong              Aarons

 

                        Cisse

 

Probably (not what I want)

Thauvin and Mitrovic should as well. Mitrovic looked f***ed when he came off today, and it's obvious that Thauvin didn't start because of fitness.

We need to stick the new lads in at the deep end.

 

Thauvin played 2 league games in France before signing for us.  He didn't start for tactical reasons.

Or because he'd only had one training session before the game.

Surely after all the talk, they have to go full strength for this. A win is needed to build on today's performance and they have plenty time to recover for the weekend after it.

 

it's not really necessary to be honest and some others need game time. I'm not saying go weak, just rotate a little.

Yeah Janmaat in, Dummet if fit enough, Mitrovic definite start, De Jong, Aarons. Tiote to start for match fitness,Darlow.

Think we will see something like that. Wouldn't be adverse to it.

 

Definitely be starting that front four though. Need to get Mitrovic on the score sheet ASAP.

Think Aarons, Thauvin and Mitrovic need to start. Wouldn't mind seeing Lascelles and Tiote get some game time. Don't want Williamson anywhere near, give Taylor another start to build his match fitness. (Or injure him).

We need to just go out attack score goals and win this game. Our starting XI v arsenal needs game time to gel (minus sissoko who I assume needs rest time). Once we are comfortable maybe bring on tiote, de Jong, cisse etc

 

                      Krul

 

            Taylor        Colo     

 

Jaanmat                        Mbember/Dummett

                     

            Colback/Anita  Georgino

 

Thauvin            Perez            Aarons         

                   

                  Mitrovic

Mbemba and Taylor centrally 100%. We're going to see the partnership at some point through necessity so makes sense to give it game time on Tuesday. Lascelles to come on second half for Taylor. Janmaat to come back in at RB, either Dummet or Haidara LB, don't mind.

 

Tiote, Anita, Wij midfield three with Aarons, Perez and Mitrovic up front.

 

I'd be tempted to give Darlow game time as well

Full strength. Players need minutes, we need a win to build confidence and we should be trying to win the competition.
