    Bitton was great in the group stages for us last year.

    Lustig. Jozzo kt think Brendan may go with McGregor in kt's position ,don't know if I fully like that idea ,but I think Sinclair plays better with more space at times ,I like to see him come inside and drive forward .

    Are you all on drugs are something? The most sensible and straightforward thing to do is move Lustig into a position he has played many times and then its a decision between Gamboa and Ralston. For me that has to be Gamboa all day long.

    I think four at the back with Biton will be the choice. Going three against PSG would be grave and I can't see the likes of Gamboa or Ralston getting a nod given they have featured much. If biton was trusted in Europe so far and we decided not to sign a centre half then why change it

    Lustig and Jozo at centre back Kieran and Ralstion at full back (would play Gamboa instead of Ralston if he's match fit).

    Has to be Ajer at centre half or Gamboa at right back. The more i think about it the more i go with Gamboa. Gamboa has experience at the top level. This is what we need most at the back just now.

    Bitton can get to *.

    Don't rate Gamboa highly tbh but his pace will be useful on Tuesday night.
    Massive Lustig fan but against pacy wingers in Europe he tends to struggle a little.

    Don't think it'll happen but:

    Gamboa Lustig Jozo KT

    I'd also settle for:

    McGregor Lustig Jozo KT

    Me too...

    Gamboa hasn't featured for us but has played international games this week, he's quick and experienced..

    He could throw Miller in at LB, he's got pace to burn and sometimes younger players can excel in these type of situations..

    Gordon
    Lustig Simunovic KT Miller     ​


    I just think Bitton will get severely done if he plays.. it's far from ideal...we either need to go with inexperience, out of position player or bring in Gamboa who hasn't featured this season for us.

    We needed to bed in a CB by signing one well before the end of the window.. I think it shows how much BR rates Boyata..

    I know the BT sports team were saying we won't go with 3at the back I think we might with brown and ntcham(or bitton with ntcham further foward) stepping into the back line when needed essentially a fluid 5 at the back ,if Gamboa is fit it would be pretty straightforward to stick him in at rb

    Agree, but if it's not the best it's in the top 3. No idea what we will do defensively on Tuesday.
