How good is Baningime? Odd time for a first start if the rumor is true.

Really happy we have gone for Unsworth.

We need to give him time because this squad is so unbalanced it will be difficult for anyone. Our defense is shocking and apart from Keane (who needs time) and Coleman (who is injured and needs a backup) the rest just aren't good enough although Holgate and Kenny are only kids.

The one thing I am certain Unsworth will bring us is high intensity. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays the same midfield (MS instead of Barry) as he did against Norwich (if McCarthy is fit otherwise Baningime) plus there's just no way he won't play Rooney up top / false 9 which if he has fast wingers either side might actually work.

It feels a little like all the old boys are running the club so hopefully and expect we will start playing with an identity.

I’ve seen him a couple of times, one game he was excellent, the next he was anonymous. Unsworth must see he can offer the first team something, especially with so much at stake for him in the coming weeks.

 

[LiamG]

Team tonight is

Pickford, Kenny, Jagielka, Williams, Baines, McCarthy, Davies, Baningime, Mirrallas, Lennon, Rooney

Pickford
Kenny, Jagielka, Williams, Baines
McCarthy, Davies, Baningime
Mirrallas, Rooney, Lennon

Would be my guess and the kind of formation I would expect. Unsy needs to stop his kids from spilling the beans.

We need to protect our defence so this makes perfect sense. If this formation is true for the first time in a long while we don't have a moron who thinks he is smarter than what he is in charge.

20:00 is 8 as far as I am aware, follows a repeat of last nights game

Ahh read it wrong. I stand corrected

 

[larbert toffee]

I expect us to lose, but I just hope that we put in a shift. I'll be disappointed if Unsy picks a Koeman side.

BTW, if you're telling us who's televising this you need to tell us which country you live in. It's on Bein 2 here in
Australia, but it won't necessarily be on that channel in other countries.

Is that you Mr Moshiri?

I'd heard something similar to be honest although I'd heard Lookman not Lennon.

Unsworth said back in April that he was near enough ready to make the step up. Rates him highly.

What's his game TMan?

Box-to-box?
Ball winner?
Attacking mid?
Playmaker?

In the Kante mold, apparently. Can score the odd goal as well.

Okay mate We'll have to see but I'd heard Keane & Siggurdson not playing, Beni playing, Mirallas and Lookman. Be interesting to see how we play and line up.
