Lush Vlad Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Aye. Never thought I’d be looking forward to an international break FFS. Desperately need some players back fit. Just hope we can get through to then relatively unscathed and keep picking up results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Expect us to play the bairns/squad players/6 left backs and beat this lot anyway, they’re shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 A few weeks ago I was relishing the prospect of having that bald fraud* sulk live on TV after we smashed him in his own back yard. Now, I'm dreading the game because I can't even think of the 11 we'll put out. *I am actually bald at the ripe old age of 33 (34 on Tuesday) so this isn't a hate comment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Think Wilson, Bruno and Trippier will definitely get a full rest. The rest will play some part of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I reckon this’ll be a back 4 of: Livramento, Lascelles, Dummett & Targett We’ve got to really, Schar and Burn have played every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The way I see it, we'll be in the League Cup next year, and the year after etc. whereas there's no guarantee we'll be in any form of Europe next season. We have 6 big injuries, 3 very likely starters, 2 fine to come in and not really notice too much difference, and also a good young player who can play a number of roles. In a couple of years, after continuous strengthening, there will be no Dummetts, Ritchies, Manquillos, Krafts, Gillespies etc. taking up a place in the 25 man squad mainly due to them being good I'm the dressing room. We'll also have far more good younger players who won't need a place in the 25 man squad, and ultimately have far more options in the case of an injury crisis like this. It's just not feasible to have a squad of so few competent options (when a situation like this occurs), and you can't expect them all to play Sat-Wed for about 4 weeks straight, especially with our intensity, something has to give, and because we're still relatively early in the competition and we have a fairly tough match on paper, to me, this would be the best time to rest as many as we can. A shame because we obviously do badly want to win a trophy at some point, but it's just unfortunate circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Put Joelinton up top. He's still a physical nuisance presence and has got experience. He's also played less football than Gordon and others. Bring Gordon and Wilson on as subs if need be after 70 mins. Manquillo can also come in for Lascelles if he needs a rest and Krafth can go into the middle.

Yorkie Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Wholesale rotation is the only sensible option here, like, but the state of the squad means there's gonna have to be a couple of first-choicers. Those who played against Man City have earned the right to play in this one anyway.
