Did Dunk need so much resting when he was van Hecke’s age?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

You won't get what you want. Van Hecke is our best defender and will start this semi-final.
It doesn't matter if he'd be better off on a beach somewhere. He's starting.

Wasn’t that because we had so many injuries in our midfield?

We're not going to win on on penalties. If it gets to that point we're cooked.
I’m in the camp where we leave some serious top level fire power (recent tran-continental travellers) on the bench.

They score first, we lose IMHO. Let’s make that virtually impossible for them!
What they can’t do is break low blocks down. They rarely face them because they play one themselves. Let’s focus on not conceding for 70 minutes with Minteh and Adingra essentially playing wing backs and Baleba and Wieffer blocking out the centre.
We then bring on Gomez, Pedro and Mitoma to chop them down and send them through the chipper in the 2nd half.

He was forced into it due to player unavailability…………won’t happen today.

If Dunk starts then it'll be down to fitness and training levels and I'd trust Fab to make the call. Get beat and Dunk is at fault for any goals this place will be in meltdown later

Did he play Nations league quarterfinals at Van Hecke's age?
I would prefer he plays, but only if he is physically up to it.
My opinion is based on nothing more than the volume of football Van Hecke has played this year.
The idea of losing him fo3-4 weeks, at this point of the season, doesn't bear thinking about.
Forest will be parking the bus and hoping to hit us on the break.
Dunk should be up to that, for 60 minutes.
Fortunately the club will have the data to support the decision.
Bring back Bryan wade!!
I wanna caravan for me ma
Have the club said anything to suggest he isn’t ’physically up’ for it?..
As far as I know he’s fit to start, therefore as our best centre back by a country mile he starts. It’s a no brainer.
How good is our current squad that it is reasonable to Bench Joao, Gomez and Dunky
Well we have Baleba and Ayari back, so the midfield will be a shit ton stronger, which was the main problem.

Why does the Guardian persist with predicting lineups when they never bother to check who's injured?The Guardian's thoughts:
