Starting 11 vs Stoke as it stands

[Furey1878]

Based on signings and current pre-season showings, what do you think our starting 11 will or should be against Stoke at the beginning of the season?

So far I'm going for:

Pickford
Kenny Keane Williams Baines
Schneiderlin
Gueye-----Klassen
Dowell???-----------------Mirallas
Rooney​

No doubt Sandro will enter the fray and the potential signings of Giroud, Sigurdsson and Barkley's fate could change this of course.

Lookman starts for me. Dowell deserves a spot on the bench.

Other than that, yeah that's the side I'd go with.

Yeah think both Lookman and Dowell have looked good. Just went with Dowell on the back of two great goals.

Looks a decent side that, I'd maybe have Sandro starting in place of Dowell but like the balance of your team.

Didn't watch the Tanzania game mate so currently have no opinion on Sandro. I expect that to change soon though.

Tbf, I could say the same for Pickford but he is 100% going to start if fit.

What about sandro?

Martina will start

Like I said I very much reckon he will but just going off what I've seen so far.

Not sold on Martina defo starting, think Koeman will have a decision to make come August.

Sandro to start against Stoke in place of Kev

With what we have at the min, I'd go:

Pickford

Martina Keane Williams Baines

Schneiderlin Gana

Rooney Klaassen Lookman

Sandro

 

[Thomasc]

Nailed on starters, Pickford, Keane, Baines, Schneids, Gana, Klaassen, Rooney, Sandro

Remaining 3 places up for grabs I reckon.

 

[GwladysBlue]

I just want Williams out of the team. Please buy a CB, Everton.

I love the fact we seemingly have supplemented the squad with our 'world cup winners'...Dowell/Kenny/Connolly are all first team members now alongside the established Lookman/DCL.

It makes the squad look bigger, it keeps the older ones on there toes and increases competition.

Great to see.

My first eleven thus far is Pickford, Kenny, Keane, Jags, Baines, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Davies, Lookman, Kev, Rooney.

Klassen I like but I havent seen enough of (expect RK will start him though) as well as Sandro.

To think we have Dowell, Bolasie, DCL, Sandro, Klassen, McCarthy, Barry, Williams, Coleman, Besic, Barkley and possibly Siggy/A.N other forward as well as CB and our squad looks ready.

Would love a left footer to come in who is ready but equally happy to give Dowell the chance too.
