Soldado, Verts, Walker, Vlad, Sandro, Lennon and Lloris all to play 90 minutes.

anyone who wants any player who will be involved against Liverpool to play on Thursday is a mad man. why risk injuries in a game that doesn't matter. all our squad have had minutes recently, no one particularly needs game time aside from rose and kane and friedel.

It seems reports of your departure from the board were a bit premature Raptor.

Sigurdsson, Lamela, Soldado, Chadli, Townsend could all do with game time I think. These players are all looking to break into the first XI (or make their spots permanent) and so should use Europa as an opportunity to do that.

My team,

Brad
Naughton Kaboul Capoue Fryers
McEvoy Dembele Holtby Lamela
Siggy
Soldado

Give Coulthirst a run out as well. Both Soldado and Lamela should play to remain match fit for the busy Christmas period.

dont play ANYONE he thinks will play a substantial part in the week ends game....

Kane is indeed injured atm.

It's a tough one to call tbh.

On one hand I kind of completely agree with Chronic. We've won no matter what, no point involving anyone who we need for Liverpool.

On the other hand AVB will want to keep our momentum going after the last two wins. Especially as the team started to look like they're beginning to play a bit better against Sunderland, it might be good to get another win and more playing time together.


But then Liverpool are playing well and we don't want another Rose type situation...

I think certain players such as dembele (whose hip seems to be a little iffy again) should definitely not be risked. And Lennon with his Hamstrings definitely shouldn't. But I have a feeling it will be a reasonably strong team.


But what do i know

http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2014/clubs/club=1652/squad/index.html

This is our registered squad

I'd like to see

Archer
Naughton, Kaboul, Stewart, Fryers

McEvoy, Capoue, Siggy, Holtby, Lamela

Defoe

Not that many kids in the nominated squad.

Stewart or Fredericks for a starting XI is way too bold for AVB.
Would love to see Baby Bale have a run-out.

Lamela will start. Capoue needs some DM game time.
Naughton needs some proper RB time.
Soldado again to get some confidence going.

The squad has earned AVB the right to be very experimental in this game.

But I do agree with RD, I think Soldado needs confidence and a few goals, Weds would be good for him

Would love to see Baby Bale have a run-out.
------------------------------------------
Definitely want to see him. Also Coulthirst.

Agree that it might be good to give Lamela and Soldado games

Shaq has been on the bench a few times, I was annoyed that none of the young lads got a game vs Tromso even when we were 2-0 up at the time

Yeah I've not been one to get too mad at AVB over his subs. But when he brought on Vertonghen and Holtby(I think?) instead of some of the kids I did think that was silly

Apps

I bet all of them were itching to get on in that game, 1-0 up and cruising and the senior players got on, imagine being that close to playing your first game for the club

I pretty much agree with Chronic, in that we should play only fringe players - maybe give 1 or 2 twenty minutes to top up their fitness but other than than, do not risk anyone.

In saying that, and i'm not saying this as a pro-Defoe point of view, but it might be a good idea to play Soldado, in the hope he can get a goal or rwo, just to boost his confidence.

Strikers dont care who they score against, so i'm sure he'll be up for wanting to play.

However, i can also see the flipside for keeping him fit, in case Defoe picks up a knock, or we need to chase the game on Sunday.
