Pre Match Pre Match - Accrington Stanley - (H) - FA Cup - Sat 12:15

[Brizzle]

Full scale changes coming in I feel, although the injury Quansah means we might see an actual academy kid have to come in at the back. No idea what to predict - just don't play anyone who is going to start against Forest.

Team i'd put out is this:

Kelleher
Trent
Endo
Pinnington (I think this kid will be the next breakthrough CB)
Robbo

McConnell
Morton
Elliot

Chiesa
Danns
Kone - Doherty / Rio kid

Get some of the first teamers on the bench for last 30 mins to keep sharp e.g. Bradley, Konate, Jota etc.

Feels like a complete lottery.

 

[Hansern]

We play again on Tuesday, so any team that plays on Saturday will have that in mind.

Kelleher

Trent
Quansah (was only ill and should be fit again on Saturday)
Endo
Tsimikas

Morton (if fit)
Nyoni

Elliott
Szobo
Chiesa

Darwin

Forgot about Nyoni. Wonder how we fit all of him McConnell Morton & Elliot in.

Good idea to try and get Szobo some minutes ahead of Forest - we need him back for that. I think it would be suicide if we start Robbo at Forest.

Tsimikas didnt impress at all last night. I'm not sure who I would start against Forest. Ideally a new LB...

Nallo

Diaz

Kostakis always plays badly when he's been out for a while.

I don't mind Kostas generally speaking but that is a terrible quality in a backup player.

It sure is, but that's how it is sometimes. Some players are so called "form-players" they need a few games to get up to speed after injury.
That was what was so great with Matip. Could be out for 4 months and then start a game and look top class.

 

[MomoWASright]

Kelleher
Trent (Bradley 60’)
Konate (some youth 2nd half)
Quansah
Roberson (Tsimikas 60’)
Endo
Elliott
Slobby (Nyoni 45’)
Chiesa
Nunez
Diaz (Ngumoha 60’)

 

[Frogfish]

I can't see any of our starters next Tuesday playing more than as a late sub if required. Therefore that means I can't see anyone starting twice in 4 days when it isn't absolutely necessary.

Konate & Chiesa (not fit to start) to come on for 20-30 mins. Trent is still Slot's preferred RB so he may get 20 mins too. Diaz isn't a starter as he will be on Tuesday. I'm really not sure who will start on Tuesday at LB but I'm saying Robbo, so possibly 20 mins for him too. Szobo may get 30 mins at most. Pick 5 from them for the Subs.

........................................... Kelleher

Bradley ---------- Quansah -------- Nallo ----------- Tsimikas

------------------------------- Endo

--------------- Morton --------------------- Nyoni

Elliott ------------------------ Danns ------------------ Nunez

If that team can't beat next to bottom of Div 2 then ...

 

[binomial]

If we can't beat these then we may aswell pack up and call it a day, because they're absolutely fucking shite. I mean, who even are they?

 

[jan]

Konate & Chiesa (not fit to start) to come on for 20-30 mins

I'm now 95% sure Juventus just sold us Arthur Melo in a new skin

At least Arthur had the decency to just stay at home during training and match days. Chiesa is taking the space of a legitimate attacker in training and on the bench at the moment. He clearly isn't trusted to play - so what's the fucking point.

You do know no one’s forcing Arne to put Chiesa on the bench, which just shows what he thinks of this “legitimate attacker” you talk about.

Or maybe he's doing it to make a point. But still - fuck this guy.

Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo Luis Diaz are all expected to be given the day off on saturday

Poor the Darwen

 

[Modo]

Poor the lazy RB.

 

[MomoWASright]

Poor the Darwen

He’s suspended against Forest and didn’t start last night. So that means he’s 100% starting on Saturday.

 

[Modo]

Most importantly, he's shit

 

[StevieM]

He’s suspended against Forest and didn’t start last night. So that means he’s 100% starting on Saturday.

He’ll fucking score too probably several so that some wanker can start talking about how his goals per minute played average is actually better than MO’s and if we played him more and passed to him more he’d score 50 goals a season easily.

Nah. Pretty sure he won't.

Unleash the Donkey !!

Fun fact - Donkeys are actually intelligent creatures. However they are often misunderstood and needs lots of TLC.

Let’s hope this will be Nunez’s turning point !

So Donkey is only half a Donkey? Half Donkey half Ass.

Beautiful. Ready to give Forest a schlonging, just keen to see how Robbo & Trent / Bradley & Tsimi are used. One of the latter at least needs to start at Forest.

 

[Modo]

Not buying Slot's explanation for not subbing Salah.
Extremely fit players can have bad games too.

I just think that Slot doesn't really trust some of the players and he's not willing to give them a real chance until he does.
This is where Klopp differed.

 

[tomasjj]

slot needs to start using his squad before it is too late and the team is burned out
