I think it’s about time we spoke about players who can pull on the famous Hoops or whatever Nike tell us to wear. We have spoke enough about who we want in the full preview (which if you haven’t read is HERE).
The ‘Punters Friend’ gives the provisional squad as this:
Forster, Matthews, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre, Commons, Brown, Wanyama, Ledley, Samaras, Stokes, Ki, Hooper, Forrest, Zaluska, Kelvin Wilson, Mark Wilson, Loovens, Majstorovic, Cha, McCourt, Keatings.
May I be the first to say that is a strong looking squad.
Commons – returned last week to GREAT effect – FIFA ranked James Forrest seems, on the face of it, to be the only headache the manager has that I can see. We can take on the Blaugrana Buddies at football. Their manager has principals and unlike certain others won’t change his teams approach (yes, I’m looking at you Mr McCall).
So here is my team in a 4-2-3-1 formation. What is yours?
We’ve tended to go 4-4-2 against them this season. However, with most of the forwards fit I think your lineup/formation is fairly likely as it allows Brown to still be shoe-horned in and it’s probably wise to keep Stokes in reserve in case we bollocks up the 1st half.
Early doors tonight for a 430am kickoff over here !
The urge to try and fit in Commons and Forrest must be resisted. The same reasoning as you have with Stokes.
We need a CHANGE from the bench and I would rather have Stokes and Commons to come on than Sammy or Broon.
I’ve told youse ALL. Brown plays when fit as he is the highest earner at the club.
Heh, I’m working tomorrow so it will be the radio then a watch on the box that record stuffs with the need for VHS tapes.
I’m not looking forward to it. If we score a last minute winner – like last season – I may get sent home for over celebrating in an office setting!
As long as Brown is kept away from the centre I don’t care and I like Forrest as the middle of the 3.
Yeah, potential banana skin, nervous myself but the fact they at least attempt to play football opens things up for us a bit compared to your typical SPL opposition.
Getting confused here, thinking of Forrest in the middle behind the strikers like we did vs Udinese. Probably won’t play that. Maybe 4-4-2 ish, but Sammi would be up front, ugh..
Im not saying I told you BUT:
