[walton]

Play Alli, he's missing out v Chelsea due to suspension anyways.

 

[ButchCassidy]

Dragging Hugo to Kazakhstan is silly. Play Vorm or play McGee.

 

[spurs9]

Seen as we are away in Azerbaijan, rest the 11 we want to start v Chelsea. Assuming Chadli & Bentaleb are still out.

Vorm
Trippier Veljkovic WImmer Davies
Alli Mason
Townsend Onomah McEvoy
Njie​

Bench: McGee, Fazio, KWP, Winks, Carroll, Walkes, Harrison

Then v Chelsea

Lloris
Walker Toby Verts Rose
Dier Dembele
Lamela Eriksen Son
Kane​

Mason- Bentaleb/Winks
Townsend- Carroll- Onomah
N'Jie

Edit- Actually, Alli should play since he's suspended for Chelsea

 

[spursram]

Dragging Hugo to Kazakhstan is silly. Play Vorm or play McGee.

Given the emotional sort of week he has had, letting him rest up will be good for him.

PS I think its in Azerbaijan.

Depends entirely on who's fit but anyone who is playing against Chelsea should be left behind for this one.

Qarabag are clearly not pushovers, and a weakened team runs the risk of a poor result but I think we can afford that in this game. I reckon we can qualify with one more win and I fancy us at home against Monaco.

 

[Scott Spur]

We should not only consider resting key players for Chelsea but also whether we should drag them across to practically Asia on a 8 hour flight and back.

Long haul flights before a big game aren't great even if you don't kick a ball....

[JayB]

As with most posters thus far I'd like to see Vorm, but Hugo has always been our EL keeper under Poch and I don't expect that to change. We need points from this fixture so I highly doubt that we'll rotate as much as everyone would like, despite the long trip.

Lloris
Trippier Alderweireld Wimmer Davies
Dier Mason
Lamela Alli Onomah
Son
​

I'd prefer to see Townsend (who I think will be quite eager to impress, if given a chance) in for Lamela and Njie in for Son, but I don't think the former will be restored to the side after what has taken place and the latter seems to be injured. Son could use the minutes to get back match sharpness anyway.

 

[Goldman]

Is Clinton fit? Not seen him in the squad for a while?

 

[Lamelad]

I really wouldnt understand why we would play any of our best players on that shitty pitch, apart from trying to get injuries.

Its not as if we needed the win anyway. Lose this, win against Monaco and we're through.

And our 2nd string should be able to beat that lot anyway.

We have a massive game on Sunday lunchtime. PLAY THE KIDS.

N'Jie

Ha forgot all about him. When you think about all the young talent we have to come through over the next 2/3 seasons you just have to laugh at how ridiculously well stocked we are.

 

[elDiablo]

dont get why kick is at 6pm gmt when rubin play at 4pm. local time our game is 10pm unless ive misread something.

that mean friday off, train on sat game on sunday. think we should tak3 the kids, they should be able to get a draw at least

 

[King of Otters]

It's got to be a shadow team. We'd be mad to take crucial first teamers out to Azerbai-fucking-jan when we have Chelsea three days later.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

This lot aren't mugs, so I'm pretty sure we'll head out there pretty strong. Shame we dumped the first Anderlecht game.
