    Schmeichel
    Donovan CCV Scales Tierney
    McGregor
    Hatate Nygren
    Tounekti Maeda Balikwisha
    Ihaenacho, McCowan, Engels, Yang and Sarrachi off the bench.

    Seems harsh shifting Tounekti over to the right but I wouldn't be comfortable starting Yang or Forrest from the get go, and id like to see how Tounekti does over on that side.

    2-0 us.

    After today can see the team being-

    Kasper
    Donovan CCV Scales Saracchi
    Mcgregor
    Nygren Hatate
    Forrest Maeda Tounekti​

    Maybe Daizen on the right and Iheanacho up top or Nygren on the right.

    Would definitely go:

    Schmeichel
    Donovan CCV Scales Tierney
    McGregor
    Nygren Hatate
    Balikwisha Maeda Tounekti

    Maeda and Balikwisha's defensive work will be so important, and essential we keep Tounekti on the left as that game changer. Rest of the team picks itself for me.

    Every selection is a conundrum until we get a RW in Jan..

    We may see Yang

    Has to be Donovan, throwing a half fit Ralston away in Europe would be really poor.

    For those who are in love.....
    Want Engels in beside McGregor for this and Hatate. Need that balance to be there like we saw last season where two don't go gung ho and it functions as a collective..

    To get anything here we need bodies and legs around McGregor, none of this isolated pish..

    Tounekti left. Maeda up top. Then the right I dunno, Nygren possibly with Engels supporting over that side when he drifts inside..

    I would want real pace on the right but we don't really have it..

    Could put Tounekti right but that partnership and role he's playing now is our best option currently. Then have Iheanacho up top linking the play and putting the likes of Maeda in on the left..

    This lot are in top form. Can be got at but will deffo score and go for us..

    Just had a look at their squad there.

    They have some decent attacking options, Arnautovic and Radonjic in attack are quality players though temperamental.

    Think a draw would be a fantastic result. Have a worry we could get a spanking there.

    That’s meant to be Hatate not Engles right enough, should really proof read :giggle1:

    i think Yang is the least likely to start given Donavan will be behind him. Forrest obviously experienced and Balikwisha would be more reliable defensively to help I think.

    i’d go with either over Yang due to his lack of reliability.

    They went top of the league beating there Rivals partisan.away from home quite convincing performancetoo .also.there last home game pumped a team 7-1 scoring alot goals in Europe too .we couldn't have picked a harder tie to start with ..just hope we dont collapse if they pile the pressure on us ..they as few have already said have fantastic attack and there defence is solid too ..
