I would love to see the strongest possible lineup to start first, bang in 3 goals and sub the important players off in 2nd half to defend the lead.

So many times in Poch era we would start with the B team thinking they could despatch the opponents only for players of A team to go on and still fucking lose the game. Lost the tie, lost the energy. Everything just wasted.
Spot on.

Does anybody know about or what has been said by one of their players about Harry ?
Apparently one of their players has said something pretty insulting about Kane .

Need to have an eye on the UTD game, so key players would be on the bench for me to see if the other squad players can get the job done without needing to use them. This is all about rotation. I'd go for;

Hart

Aurier
Sanchez
Toby
Davies

Sissoko
Winks
Lo Celso

Gedson
Lucas
Sessegnon

Bench - Lloris, Tanganga, Hojbjerg, Lamela, Bergwijn, Kane

Compared to the previous two Euro games, I'd like to see us play fairly full strength from the start to try and wrap up this crucial game early. And then when we're hopefully a couple goals up, sub off key players like Kane, Lo Celso and PEH. Ndombele looked destroyed on Tuesday so needs resting, and Lamela should be saved for the weekend too.

Lloris
Doherty Sanchez Toby Davies
Sissoko PEH Lo Celso
Lucas Kane Sessegnon

Bench - Hart, Tanganga, Regi, Ndombele, Lamela, Gedson, Berg

In terms of who we could have got is Haifa considered a good draw?

I have family in North Israel and went to two of their games last year (I was a fan of theirs growing up largely as my cousins all supported them and due to a wonderful player they had for a couple of years called Haim Revivo). They won comfortably in each but the league is so, so poor - probably League 2 standard on the whole. Maccabi Tel Aviv are head and shoulders above them and would definitely give most clubs a scare in Europe, nevertheless, Haifa is not kind draw by any means. Going forward they are creative and will def cause problems - on reflection, it would be like playing a decent Championship club now - someone like Swansea or Reading. As to be expected, they will be highly motivated - Israelis are nuts about their football and back themselves as underdogs.

I guess the take-home message is that the draw would be far more complicated if it were abroad - and yes, perhaps Rangers might have been a bit trickier but this will be a test and Haifa will be a tough nut to crack. Regardless, I would back us to win - we have so much quality and it is the most important match of the season thus far.

really doubt we'll see Sessegnon considering we're trying to loan him out

Is this game showing on that dodgy channel again?

it is, but tbf it was the entire broadcast which was messed up - had nothing to do with Premier Sports

Thanks for the intel! Any standout players to look out for, besides that Fanny fella?
