Steaua Bucharest (h) - pre-match thread

[Ric]

All in here please...

 

[aguero93:20]

I know it'll be a big ask, but I reckon we might scrape through this tie if we get our tactics right, can't concede more than 4 away goals though.

 

[omri]

tosin,maffeo,angelino,garcia can play.

 

[kye1991]

Hope kelechi gets a start as this game should be a no contest..... maybe a straight swap for aguero in an effort to keep him injury free... kelechi just keeps on impressing

 

[super_city_si]

Game to play Delph, Fernando and kelechi. Give silva a rest and give hart a go.

 

[domalino]

tosin,maffeo,angelino,garcia can play.

Garcia can't play.

 

[domalino]

I suspect there will be some changes for this one now.

We lacked movement today and j think that's down to mostly the same players playing 270 minutes in a week.

Not wholesale changes, but Maffeo for Zabaleta if Sagna isn't fit, Clichy back in, Delph and maybe Iheanacho too.

 

[Tevez City]

I don't think Pep will change more than 3 players.

 

[blinkblue]

Caballero

Maffeo - Otamendi - Stones - Clichy

Fernando

Navas - De Bruyne - Delph - Nolito

Iheanacho​

Hart/Gunn, Adarabioyo, Angelino, Fernandinho, Zinchenko, Sane, Aguero.

Hopefully Sane to come for his debut and Angelino/Tosin to get some minutes maybe?

 

[SkyBlueTX]

I'd be resting players left, right, and center for this one.

 

[Ric]

I think Fernando, Delph, Navas, Nolito and Iheanacho are nailed on to start. Would be nice to see Adarabioyo and Angelino get the nod too.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I think Fernando, Delph, Navas, Nolito and Iheanacho are nailed on to start. Would be nice to see Adarabioyo and Angelino get the nod too.

I agree with all, except Adarabioyo starting. I think I'd be getting Stones and Nico playing together as much as possible as we'll have tougher tests coming up soon.

 

[St.Pauli support]

IF there is a match for Yaya to proof something it is this one.
Home match, Steaua is shit away, 5-0 up.

Yaya could try to impress Pep or other clubs.
As we seem to fail to get rid due to wages we might use Yaya for sharing workload for Dinho or Silva.

 

[kupest]

I think Maffeo will get a look in since Sagna has a knock

 

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

Caballero
Maffeo Otamendi Stones Angelino
Fernando Fernandinho
Navas Silva Nolito
Iheanacho

 

[ws01]

Caballero
Clichy
Stones
Kolarov
Angelino
Fernando
Delph
Navas
De Bruyne
Nolito
Iheanacho

Give rest to as many as we can.

For those naming Maffeo - pretty sure we can't play him, he's not in the 21 man squad??
