Team for Qarabag

[Yiddo100]

If we’re playing a back up goalie I really hope it’s Austin over Forster.

Highly unlikely when you compare Forster's playing experience to Austin's .

Shouldn’t we be comparing ability rather than experience…

 

[rabbikeane]

Pat Jennings got experience, I'd prefer not to have him in goal in 2024

As Ange said after the Coventry game he doesn't make desicions based on a fans poll.

 

[G Ron]

Because it was only 2-1 and v tight till Maddison scored?

Why didn't we sign left sided cover is the question- ridiculous

I’d play Regi left back and Spence right. Gray in the midfield. Nobody out of position that way. Could even go three CBs (Dragusin, VDV, Davies) to better suit the wing backs.

we have options, no need to flog destiny to death.

edit as kindly pointed out by @Yid-ol Spence and Regi not in the Europa squad which makes the decision not to register them even more bizarre

What if we do a PowerPoint presentation? Will he listen then?!

Only a slight issue of no regi or Spence in our European squad

Haha - good point

All the stranger they didn’t start last week in the league cup.

 

[sparx100]

Can we add Spence back in if we get through the league stage?

Yes

 

[archiewasking]

Davies

Vic
Gray, Dragusin, Romero, Udogie
Bentancur, Bergval, Saar
Johnson, Solanke, Werner

Think Romero might play as he missed the Carabou cup game last week
Son needs a rest and think he'll start with Werner for his experience and bring Moore on the second half.

Davies for Udogie and that's my pick

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

No, afraid not , all of his desicions are made on what he sees at training at Hotspur Way and during a game.

 

[Yid-ol]

Davies

Davies for Udogie and that's my pick

Romero is suspended though.

 

[nigespurs]

romero's suspended.

Thanks I'd forgotten about that.

 

[arunspurs]

My team :

Vicario
Gray Dragusin VDV Udogie
Sarr Bissouma Bergvall
Moore Solanke Werner

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Romero is suspended though.

There should be a time-limit on when you can carry over suspensions from previous years - this is apparently from 2022...

 

[matty74]

Ok phone predictive text I’m not really a tard

 

[EQP]

Vicario
Gray - Dragusin - VDV - Davies
Bentancur
Deki - Maddison
Johnson - Solanke - Son

Seeing as it is a home game and our 1st EL game, I can only see Ange making 2-3 changes from the team that beat Brentford. The idea would be to try to put Qarabag to the sword in the 1st half and then bring on subs in the 2nd half. I'm sure the likes of Maddison and Son would really like to start the game and try to make an impact and build more confidence going into the United game on Sunday.

[Pistols At Dawn]

Would love to see Spence get some quality time

Vicario
Gray---Dragusin---VDV--- Davies---
Bissouma
Sarr---Bergvall
Johnson---Solanke---Werner

So hard to decide because of the lack of options in this Europa squad. This must mean Ben Davies has to play LB alternating with Destiny. I could see Ange playing Romero and VDV for a half each at CB as, again we are very short at CB unless Gray plays in which case we are then short of another RB. Defensively this Europa squad makes no sense really when you analyse it. Without Spence and Reguilon available and loaning Phillips and Abbot out it is meaning some of our squad are going to be playing a hell of a lot of football in the coming weeks.
