First league match lineup.

[tim cahill]

Well the doubt is he's never played a competitive minute for us but I understand what you're saying.

Whereas Hibbert has played many competitive minutes badly. I'd be willing to take the gamble.

Its a shame oviedo and garbutt are injured cos i would probably drop baines, he doesnt look arsed.

Would definetly play browning ahead of hibbert, even though he looks a bit unproven at the attacking side at least hes rapid and can tackle and defend, which hibbert seems unable to do now

 

[Dell Boy]

I don't think he's the kind of player who is naturally fit though to be honest.

And isn't that just crazy? How can you be paid multiple thousands a week, treated like a God with a team of fitness and health consultants on hand - and still not be in peak condition?

Its a friendly mate, with Baines not long back in training i would not be too concerned about his performance.

As long as we are ready for Leicester, that's the main thing.

We don't know if Mirralas and Rome are fit enough and I think Seamus needs time.

I suppose it will be:

Howard

Baines
Distin
Jags
Stones

Barry
Gibson
McCarthy

Barkley
Naismith
McGeady

 

[ArtetaMoney]

I think he will play

Howard

Stones
Jags
Dizzy
Baines

McCarthy
Barry
Barkley

Pienaar
Lukaku
McGeady

 

[Michaelcoyb]

Howard
Coleman/hibbert Jags Distin Baines
Mcarthy Barry/besic
Mcgeady. Barkley. Mirallas
Lukaku


This team will win, especially if coleman is fit.

 

[Tubey]

Howard

Coleman
Jagielka
Distin
Baines

McCarthy
Barry
Barkley
Pienaar
Mirallas

Lukaku

 

[Buckers]

I believe this will be the team.

Howard
Hibbert Jagielka Distin Baines
McCarthy Barry
Mirallas - Barkley - Pienaar
Lukaku
​

I am now tending to agree with this. Cant see any other option other than Stones at right back.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Howard

Coleman
Jagielka
Distin
Baines

McCarthy
Barry
Barkley
Pienaar
Mirallas

Lukaku

Coleman won't be thrown back in having played no football at all in recent weeks.

Do we know when he is expected back in training?

Mirallas. The Belgian Fanny.

War Hero? Chamberlain was hardly a war hero.

 

[Buckers]

Mirallas. The Belgian Fanny.

Is that a derogatory nick name or am I missing something?
