Pretty much same team as stoke I reckon. Mirallas for sandro, Kev is usually decent for us in Europe.

Not sure if 1-0 would have me comfortable enough in the second leg. Let's get at them and put a few goals between the teams tonight. Davies and Mirallas in the side for Klaassen and Sandro.

Then again maybe we made some friends in Slovakia. Our fans weren't exactly trying to kill the local waiters...

Well, you know... It seems Ivan Kruzliak likes the cards.. plus of course his CV includes the obligatory LFC away European win (1-0 at Gomel) - he's from Bratislava so perhaps he really hates us.

One might be tempted to bet on the yellow cards tho.. 21 Europa games and 123 yellows 7 red (and 20 of 21 were 4 or more cards so very consistent in dishing them out). It's a similar theme with the foul count.

They'll get someone sent off

I reckon it'll be Rooney and Klaassen playing off DCL.

Bit strange we have a Slovakian ref for this match just after we knocked out a Slovakian team

We also had a Bulgarian ref for the Ruzembroke match.

I think we'll go 4-4-2

Pickford, No Idea*, Keane, Jags (or Williams), Baines, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Davies, Mirallas, Klaassen, Rooney

* pick one of 3.

I am content if DCL is up front. He doesn't seem half the player he can be out on the wings. If that's the case I'd expect Kevin on the bench with Lookman as used subs. Ideally Sandro to lead the line but I guess he's out.

If you look at the refereeing appointments it seems that UEFA are going for the ref to come from nearer the away side's part of Europe than the home side's - so we should get a Dane, Swede, German, Dutch ref for the 2nd leg.

He will be Norwegian.

Id rather have Klaassen now for Split, and Davies in against City.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Don't really care about the Europa league.
Let's just rotate the squad the best we can and then go at it against Man City on Monday.
Let's start the push now for top 4!
Come on you blue boys

You dont care for europe league???

 

[Norwegian Cow]
