Team V Newport County

[Lumiere]

You don't see Eriksen as a starter vs Utd?

We've seen his importance (as if we needed proof). Like Kane he should be nowhere near this game

No you’re right he should start vs Utd. But this is one game I think he should start too, we need his spark.

Pitch isn't too bad apparantly according to some Newport fans.

Yup pitch looks fine here from last night. Should be no concerns over that.

 

[coys200]

Just reading it’s a brand new pitch in summer cost 750k state of art deso pitch same as millienium stadium. So no excuses on that front.

I'd like to give Kane the first 30 minutes hoping he can get a couple of quick goals.

First 30 minutes? As in bring him off before half time?

What happens if we haven’t scored by the half hour mark, do you still hook him? On the bench maybe, but not to start.

If things aren’t going well, we then have the option to bring him on at a stage in the game when our superior fitness should start to make a difference if our quality hasn’t.

I’d give Lamela, big Vic, KWP, Llorente, Foyth, Vorm and Winks a start and have a bench mixed with a big gun or two (just incase) and a few of the youngsters for if we’re cruising it.

There will be a meltdown in here if Kane starts.

Would be a simply idiotic decision. Especially with the short rest between such massive games.

 

[bat-chain]

Rest everyone we can, our seasons lives or dies on Wednesday's result.

 

[coys200]

Kane will be bashing down Poch door to start. The geezer wants to break every record in the book and will see this as massive hatrick opportunity.

Vorm
Trippier Dier Foyth KWP
Sissoko Wanyama Winks
Lamela Llorente Georgiou

Subs
Gazzinga Alderwiereld Oakley-Boothe Son Eriksen Sterling Kane

Winks Wanyama Lamela desperately need minutes for fitness
Llorente Foyth Vorm also have to play to help confidence if needed to be called on in big games

Have to not start our big game players so won't be able to rest them for a while

 

[Lilbaz]

Think toby needs some minutes most likely from the bench. He's said he's ready. Give him a chance to prove it.

 

[WiganSpur]

Rotation players from the start and strong bench in case things go tits up is the way to go I think.

Vorm
Trippier Dier Foyth KWP
Wanyama TOB Sissoko
Lamela Son
Llorente
​

Gazzaniga, Alderweireld, Aurier, Dembele, Alli, Eriksen, Kane

*That someone probably being Sissoko.

I hope so - guy's an absolute sex machine

I have no idea what relevance this has to team selection or his "ability" to play football.

 

[spursfan77]

Quite a tricky one this with United and Liverpool to follow the same week. Initially I’d think to rest a few. But sometimes 10 days rest can leave players a bit rusty. I think I’d go pretty strong and early subs when game Hopefully won.
Lloris
KWP Sanchez vertonghen Davies
Wanyama winks/sissoko
Lamela eriksen Son
Kane

I agree but if the pitch is bad we shouldn't have Sissoko anywhere near the team. We need players playing who've got a good first touch.

 

[coys200]

Definitely edging towards starting kane and give him 60 mins. Strikers thrive on goals confidence and sharpness.As seen with Kane in August long breaks do him no favours. His best form is always in congested periods. Yes there’s an injury concern but there always is. You can’t wrap players in cotton wool. Brace or hatrick here and he will go bouncing into Wednesday and United.
