Team v FC Anzhi Mahkachkl

[Bofbro]

Ade should get some minutes, back in full training on Monday.

 

[Spinders]

Would like to see...

Friedel

Naughton Dawson (c) Chiriches Fryers

Sandro Paulinho

Townsend Holtby Chadli

Defoe


Rest Dembele rather than Paulinho, as Paulinho is more used to East European leagues. Sub him off early if we can though.

And so that we can then see this v West Ham...

Lloris

Walker Dawson (c) Vertonghen Rose

Dembele Paulinho

Lamela Eriksen Sigurdsson

Soldado

This does depend on injuries to Kaboul, Rose, obvs.

I think this is close to what AVB will do, but he will probably be encouraged enough from Townsend's display today to start him against West Ham. Plus Lamela didn't play any part today, so is fully rested for Thurs. Personally though, I think it's time we saw what Lamela can do in a Prem start. Plus Townsend bossed it away in the other Europa match.

Looks like towering Lacina Traore is injured and young Solomatin plays instead, ought to make it bit easier. After clear out, central midfield is probably their strongest are with Jucilei, €10m purchase of some years ago and Ahmedov, one time Arsenal target, playing there.

 

[werty]

Friedel

Naughton Chiriches Kaboul/Dawson Fyers

Sandro Dembele

Townsend Holtby Chadli

Defoe

I want Lamela started in the league next week so hopefully he won't be starting in this game

I will start saldado in this game, just to get his goals momentum going.

Give Defoe start vs West Ham and let Soldado start this one and see if he can gain some confidence back.

Anyone who thinks avb will play kids in this cup is crazy, for some reason he adores this comp.

Brad

Naughts
Younis
Vlad

Sandro
Holtby

Lenny

[eddiebailey]

This is the toughest game of the group. Reckon AVB will go more or less full strength at the back, where we have more injuries and fewer options to start with, while rotating from our vast pool of attackers. So:

Lloris​

​

Walker Dawson Vertonghen Naughton​

​

Sandro Dembele​

​

Lamela Holtby Chadli​

​

Defoe​

Came in to this thread to post that exact line up thinking nobody else would of - thanks a bunch.

 

[felmani26]

If only Kaboul would stay injury free long enough to finally oust Dawson from the starting line up.

Sigh...

 

[spurslenny]

Never mind team selection, what about a more pressing concern.
Is it just me that at the mere mention of Anzhi, starts to try and crowbar football related lyrics into the Rolling Stones 'Angie' song?

'Anzhi, Aiiiiiiiinzhi, erm, er.....'


Basically that's as far as I got :/

 

[crokey]

If only Kaboul would stay injury free long enough to finally oust Dawson from the starting line up.

Sigh...

Is that the Dawson who has conceded 2 goals in 10 games or is he a youth player?

 

[parklane1]

Give Defoe start vs West Ham and let Soldado start this one and see if he can gain some confidence back.

Would be my choice as well.

 

[parklane1]

Anyone who thinks avb will play kids in this cup is crazy, for some reason he adores this comp.

Thankfully.

 

[chinaman]

Don't want to risk Rose in this game.

 

[Bulletspur]

Is that the Dawson who has conceded 2 goals in 10 games or is he a youth player?

If it wasn't for him it would be 0 in 10!
