Who are those subs lol

 

[sidford]

Completely understand the starting line up but Nuno obviously not taking qualification too seriously

Starters should do the bizz

 

[yiddopaul]

My worry there is that if it all goes tits up, the most senior player we have on the bench is Jack Clarke

The silver lining if it goes tits up... we won't have to play in this tin-pot cup and avoid mid-week games to focus on top 4. Win-win really ?

Brandon Austin (GK)
Jack Clarke
Harvey White
Maksim Paskotsi

And then a lot of players who I don’t think have been involved before from the academy

 

[SpursD22]

3/5-3-1-1? Or does Lo Celso play on the wing? Or is it a 4 at the back with Sessegnon as a winger? We’ll see

Excited to see Gollini & Romero debut and first starts for Nile John & Dane Scarlett

Hopefully we lead quite comfortably so Nuno can make 5 subs and let the youngsters on the bench play COYS

Being eliminated at this stage of a winnable competition isn’t a win. On any metric.

And Bryan obviously!

Strong enough defensively that it should not go tits up. But if it did - attackers will be going 90

Still 7 players who have represented their country. Some only the one senior cap though.

Even a draw will be an OK result. Same team can play back in London, but this time with son, Dele, Lucas and Bergwijn on the bench just in case.

That bench is amaze-balls!

Yeah those academy guys are the ones I don't know. @Blake Griffin can u help

Ally G saying that we're going for a back 3 this time. Looks weird with that line-up as Gil would be playing up top with Scarlett then?

 

[hughy]

Who takes pens, Scarlett? Lo Celso?

If it’s a back 3, then that means Sessegnon and Doherty on the wings I would guess

Premier Sports missed a massive trick here. Should have done a one off £5 charge for it. Not expect people to sign up to a £15 monthly subscription.

Well, it's actually worse than that as it's a six month minimum term, so basically having to fork out £90 to watch the game tonight (legally).

Not for me, thanks.

Edit: okay, I found a way it's one month minimum so it is "only" £15

Starting XI is better than I expected. Not a lot of options on the bench if it's needed though.

The ONLY good that I see in this competition – which admittedly is why I would want us to remain in it – is giving our young bloods gametime.
