CallumG6 Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 Into Amsterdam tonight and across to Cologne early doors tomorrow. Feeling a solid away performance here, I’d take a draw right now though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelphish Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 So incredibly jealous of everyone who gets to attend European away games. Goes without saying a win there would be sensational. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 Really looking forward to this one, feels like we’ve pretty much got all our players back (sans Pope). Yes, we looked poor second half vs Burnley but it was a rotated side - a result here would be an excellent one and would be a nice set up for what looks like a big seven days for the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 The only question for me is which 3/4 midfielders start. Bruno, Joelinton, Tonali or Miley. Probably the first 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 I would go full strength for this and Sunderland, then rotate for the Fulham game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with us making 6 changes against Burnley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 I think JL would do well against BL. He’ll appreciate having a bit more time on the ball. As long as he’s fit, his abrasive nature would be extremely useful in the derby too. Give him the first 60 mins or the last 30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 I’d go Miley, Bruno, Tonali tomorrow. Then Joelinton, Bruno, Tonali at the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is, with Miley and Willock performing pretty well, we do have the option to rotate in midfield now if we feel a rest would benefit a player. I think Bruno is the only one who seems to be the vital cog, but at a push we could even rest him tomorrow and get a result. We have to start trusting our squad.

Lotus Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 Would play Willock over Miley or Ramsey. JL first option though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 play strongest defence and midfield in Leverkusen and against Sunderland. Not sure what our strongest attack is? - both Gordon and Harvey looks good atm, but both should only operate on the left. I would probably start Harvey and Murphy in Leverkusen with Wolte on top!

HMSIllustrious Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 Let‘s hope for another Andrich brainfart like he had against PSG. I really can‘t stand his thuggish behaviour. Will be interesting to see whether Hjulmand plays Grimaldo as 10 or LB, he is by far their most constant player this season, many of the others are hit and miss.

andyc35i Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 I think we go with a similar set up to the last match day with Willock coming in and Gordon playing centrally. I’d start Elanga instead of Murphy as he deserves to keep his place from the weekend to build some sort of form Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a thought start both ‘Gordy’ and Harvey on the left. That will perplex the feckers! Reminds me of an anecdote in that podcast with Scholes, Butt and Given. Sir Bobby put Woodgate man to man on van Nistelrooy in a home game against Manure; basically instructed him to follow him wherever he went. Ferguson twigged this and told RvN to pull out wide, left corner flag etc when they were attacking. We got beat 6-2, Scholes scored a hat trick and it was the most goals Given ever conceded. Punchline? Apparently in a depressed NUFC dressing room, Bobby quipped ‘I told you though, van Nistelrooy barely had a kick.’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 9, 2025 Share Posted December 9, 2025 I think Gordon could be unplayable as a right winger with how he's able to beat a man pushing the ball beyond and getting a cross in with his right foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
