Wolfsburg - how do we line up??

[jinkyali]

I think we need to be strong for this and C Palace; I would then play the fringe players against Swansea, Full team v Liverpool, fringe in Russia with the full team at UTD.

 

[HuddersfieldToffee]

Howard

Backheel/Browning Stones Jagielka

Garbutt McCarthy Barry Gibson Coleman

Eto'o

Naisy/Lukaku

As someone else said, lets go all out, play for 4 Wins from the Opening 4 matches, confirm qualification, and then Play the ressies away to Wolfsburg and home to Krasnodar, when we're already safe and through. 13pts, that'll do.

Huge game for us as Perisic and Luis Gustavo are both out injured. It's a huge opportunity to show our dominance, hopefully gain 2-3 points on the rest, and then hopefully a fortnight later, the same scenario, 3pts in krasnodar, and Wolfsburg and Lille Draw, us 5 points clear of 3rd after 2 rounds, would be absolutely ideal!

make it happen Everton.

Only bring in players who are good enough to replace the players they're replacing.

I.e Hibbert for Coleman no, Gibson for Barry yes.

 

[quasi modo]

That's not a bad team at all, but I don't get why we are resting people at all.

We've got a few games coming up so I think it would be a good opportunity to give some of the lads who could do a job for us some playing time, and get them involved in the way the team plays.

Which is true. But i'd much rather do that against Palace or Swansea.

Both of which aren't as good as Wolfsburg.

Yeeeeah. There's also a League Cup game against Swansea next week, so let's just... Do that instead.

I'd like to get a couple of W's first before bringing out the youth in Europa.

Stop resting Rom!!!

Eto'o probably wouldn't be able to last the full 90 anyhow so am sure Lukaku would get a run out later in the match.

It would just be against tired defenders and we saw how effective he was against those in the World Cup and his loan spell at WBA.

Maybe, but I just don't see the sense in it. Rest him against Palace and Swansea if need be.

Guess it will all depend on how good Lukaku's toe is and if Eto'o is over his groin injury.

Nice to have striker options though.

they are rubbish they have drawn 2 and lost one of their first 3 games, ha! what a terrrible start...oh, ermm..

also, they are named after a wolf! ridiculous...

Essentially yes.

I'm just not fully understanding the whole rest people for a big European night against a decent team.

 

[Fringe]

Same team to start from the weekend for me. Eto'o and Gibson etc on Sunday.

 

[bluegirl]

Have to be honest here, how often do we moan about going out of cup cause we played a weakened team?

I'd go all out for this one, probably the most important of them all with it being at home.

COYB.
