Pope: Tino, Krafth, Botman, Targett: Longstaff, Bruno, Miley: Willock, Wilson, Osula

 

That’s what I want to see, as much rested as possible. Side can shift into a more narrow 4-4-2 or in it’s normal 4-3-3 with Osula coming in from RW. 
 

Tonali, Burn, Tripp & Gordon on in 2nd half if still level to ensure ET is avoided.

Who the fuck is Neave? (Other than the best football YouTuber around)

Not sure if he's been playing 21s this year but got a few and looked decent for the 18s last year

Been mentioned a bit this year in local press. Highly rated (like they say about everyone in the youth teams lol) represented England at youth levels.

442?  Or is Osula playing wide?

Either Willock on the wing or a 442. I'd be interested to see Wilson and osula together up front. Less so to see Longstaff on the right wing of a midfield four.

Interested to see Osula out there. Howe has talked him up as an option once or twice. 

 

Very low expectations in terms of performance because these scratch rotationtastic line-ups never deliver anything particularly coherent. Just dearly hopeful of a result because the cup double is fucking on, ladies and gents.

Howe always goes stronger than what I expect.

 

Anyway one of Bruno/Tonali will start, possibly half each.

 

Pope

 

Tino

Krafth

Schar

Targett

 

Bruno

Miley

Longstaff 

 

Osula*

Wilson

Willock

 

*Howe hinted at Osula as a right wing option.

 

Decent guess. Schar the only one wrong.

LOL, that's the first thing I said after looking at the team sheet.

Osula right and Willock left in a front 3? Can’t see it being 4-4-2 with the players on the field. 
 

It still looks a reasonably strong lineup. Quite a few of these were starters not that long ago or regulars, at least.
