[Albion] Team for Burnley game

[hans kraay fan club]

Unless I've missed it, we've surprisingly not done this have we?

I'll guess at:

.............................................Vergbruggen
Veltman-----------Dunk.............Igor......................Hinshelwood
....................................Dahoud........Groß
Adingra.............................Lallana...........................Mitoma
............................................Ferguson

 

[Machiavelli]

It'll be something like that.
I'd like to see Moder get some minutes as he can't play on Thu, maybe at the expense of Lallana getting too much in the way of game time -- so he can start against Marseille.
Moder and Lallana (and Buonanotte) can help lighten the load of Fergie, JP and hopefully the two wingers too. They need to have their minutes managed. Gross can play higher up too, and the performances of Gilmour and Baleba the other night warrant further selection, so I'd go for:

---------------------- Bart -------------------
Veltman --- Dunk ---- Igor ---- Hinshelwood
------------ Gilmour -------- Baleba ----------
Adingra ---------- Gross ------------ Mitoma
------------------ Joao Pedro -----------------

With Moder, Ferguson, Milner and Buonanotte to come on

Surely JPVH plays?

Buonanotte apparently unavailable

Igor was comfortably better than he was on Wednesday, and is left footed.

Igor was comfortably better than he was on Wednesday, and is left footed.

It won't just be based on one game. This is a very tight selection decision in my view

 

[dazzer6666]

Think Igor might start at LB, frees up Hinshelwood to help in midfield or at LB later (off the bench as he started Weds)

Bart/Jason
Veltman JPVH Dunk Igor
Dahoud Groß
Adingra Lallana Mitoma
Fergie

 

[WhingForPresident]

I'll go:

Verbruggen

Veltman
Dunk
Van Hecke
Igor

Gross
Gilmour
Baleba

Mitoma
Ferguson
Joao Pedro

 

[BluesRockDJ]

Whoever is fit !!

 

[Guinness Boy]

I’ve no idea what it’ll be but I expect De Zerbi will prioritise Thursday and hope some replacements have enough in them.

 

[Munchkin]

————————— Bart ————————-
———— JVH —— - Dunk ——— Igor ——-
————— Gilmour ——- Gross —————-
Adringa ————- Lallana ——-—— Mitoma
————— Pedro ———- Ferguson ————

 

[Zeberdi]

Buonanotte apparently unavailable

Yes - he’s still not managing a full 90
minutes - RDZ said after the Chelsea game he didn’t want to use up substitution opportunities because players are fatigued but for tactics and injuries- Facu has to improve his physical strength…

Verbruggen
Leigh Kavannagh
Dunk ( yaaaay!)
Veltman
Dahoud/Moder
Milner
Lallana
Baker-Boaity
Mark Mahoney
Joshua Duffus

edit - don’t know who half these U21s are but it’s Burnley -

I agree. My guess is Igor.

yep. Right wing is the most interesting one. Adingra REALLY looks like he needs a rest, but with no March / Fati / Enciso / Buonanotte there’s a lack of obvious replacements.

i wouldn’t be shocked to see Baker-Boaty-McBoatface start.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

I'll go:

Verbruggen

Veltman
Dunk
Van Hecke
Igor

Gross
Gilmour
Baleba

Mitoma
Ferguson
Joao Pedro

I like this team, but know it won't be this.
Milner will be left back.

I’d be shocked if we didn’t see at least 1 or 2 of our U21s starting tbh.

(After Thursday, thank goodness it will ease up a bit.)

To be fair, Hinshelwood, Baleba, Buonanotte and Ferguson ARE U21s!

The relative luxury of just 5 games in 21 days and then a 2 week break. For an Xmas schedule thats practically part time.

 

[Milano]

Igor has played the last 3 games in a row, so think JPVH will start with Dunk.
Ferguson will start, JP bench.
I can see Dahoud starting too.
Tomorrow is very important but Thursday is massive.
