Team vs Krasnodar

[DevineEFC]

Wonder will we see 4-3-3 again .. without Barkley i think it works for us brilliantly.

Rom needs to be in the centre though

 

[ToffeeDan]

Howard (pick Robles we'll get hammered)
Browning Jags Stones Oviedo

McGeady Besic Gibson Osman
Eto'o, Kone

Hibbert, Garbutt, Robles, Atsu, Distin, Alcaraz, Ledson

..at least put a solid XI on the pitch..

rest (don't take) Lukaku, Coleman, Baines, Macca, Barry, Nais, Peanuts

Obviously a tough game and, with so much creative spark missing (Kev, Barks, probably Coleman and Pienaar as well) we're really up against it - but it's forgivable to lose trying as opposed to throwing in the towel - at least with a half-decent side we have a chance of a draw or better and would save some key players for Sunday.

We should find out what the squad will be this afternoon because they'll most likely fly out after training today. You know what our players are like with social media these days.

Mixture of youth and experience with a chance for some to stake a claim for a 1st team spot.

Perhaps he needs another chance but I just don't fancy seeing Robles in sticks, particularly if we are going to rest some of the back four.

Update us again tonight on the evening temperatures so I can sort out my wardrobe !

Why does nobody want Robles to play. Howard has been directly at fault for 3 out of last 7 goals and should of saved 5 out of the 7. he deserves to be dropped.

Will do mate. It's 8:20 here and still fairly warm really, jeans and a t shirt have been sound for today like.

Martinez has said he will get Lucaku back to match fitness quicker by playing more games so I think he will start on
Thursday.

Yeah and if we're going to try for Europa League, then he should play this one even if he puts in a half or 60 minutes.

Why when we have eto'o and Kone?
