Pre-season (2026/27): NUFC to play Everton at Murrayfield on 12/08/26


Recommended Posts

How on earth are we planning on coping with back to back games next weekend? Maybe it's wishful thinking as I'm over on Saturday, but surely we have to try more or less the starting 11. Who does that leave in midfield and up front on Friday night?

As I recall we usually play related units together i.e. the first choice back 5 starts one game, while the first choice front 3 start the other. So they're all still in a good position to cooperate when the season starts proper.

Step forward Park Seung-Soo

I imagine for Park, Son will be his hero. Hope he gets some game time final third of the match, seemed lively and not afraid to take on his man.

Well it is when we have two strikers on the bench. And are going with a left winger up top. 

 

Neave is a mile away from the side. Hes only in SK for experiance and would likely never start a PL game for us next season.

 

Osula is a work in progress and cant play all of our pre season games.

When you consider that Osula has also played the most minutes out of everyone so far (outfield players anyway) for this pre-season, makes sense to take him out for the get go this time.

Shocking playing gordon up top like. Play neave if osula needs a rest, 

Five keepers on the bench you've got to laugh. 

 

4 keepers on the bench isn't it, not five

Gordon isn't a striker at all has no presence when playing up top, I'd rather have neave playing there and getting experience under his belt. Or willy. 

 

But again your whole thing seems to be that winning this game matters in some way. 

 

Also, Gordon is a better FW than young Neave, at this stage in his development.
