Hoping that Igor's injury scare is just that, and he can play. Otherwise the back four really is a conundrum - unless somebody finds WEBSTER down the back of the sofa.

From what we know of RDZ though, I think he's more likely to trust one of the young CB's than play a midfielder there. I think Kavanagh is at the head of the queue? If it's a makeshift one, then Moder would seem the best fit.

Was thinking similar. Other alternative is Gross centre back. He has played there before but not 90mins

  • We're playing West Ham, with their physicality and set piece ability at the wrong time
  • It might seem odd dropping Milner, but I want him fresh for a half hour stint at left back as Pervis is surely still recovering.
  • I also want to get 45 mins each out of Moder and Lallana
  • Baleba, I think the least bad option as emergency centre back. I would not be at all surprised to see Kavanagh start though
  • Welbeck on the wing where he played so well for England back in the day
  • Basically I'm trying to load in as much height as I can muster
  • Verbruggen, marginally better off his line so in the side for this one
  • Might we have even recalled someone by then? Might Sarmiento feature?
  • Subs will be very weak. Only Steele and Dahoud, I think are the first team players available to man the bench

Lallana couldn’t run last night. He didn’t look right. I’m not sure Welbz has another game in him so soon after his great Spuds performance.

Baleba and Lallana on the bench and hopefully unused, think we're f****d if we need to start them.

I only saw the post match interview on OS, nothing mentioned about Igor or Buonanotte injuries. So hoping they are both fit enough to start with Igor moving across to CB

No way baleba. He’s been a shambles. Needs a loan to the champ.

Think Igor will play. He is a beast.

I’d be amazed if Lallana was available on Tuesday, he looked like he’d damaged his hamstring after 5 minutes.
It’s Thursday-Tuesday though not Thursday-Sunday, so I’d expect Welbeck and Milner to be OK for it and Pervis/Moder have 5 day’s recovery and not 3. We could really have done without the brain freeze from Dunk on 80 mins last night, although watching it back I’m struggling to see the yellow card in that tackle.

As someone with a ticket to Stoke I’m wondering why I’m bothering now?!! May as well save on the time/cost and go watch the U23s at Lancing!

I think he'll start with:

Steele

JPVH Baleba Igor

Hinsh Gross Gilmour Milner

Buonanotte

Ferguson Joao Pedro


He's said that Beleba is better when the game is in front of him, and he will have to keep his discipline in a back three. I'm not sure I have quite the confidence that some others do in our u-21 central defenders.
