Feyenoord (h) pre-match thread

[daztrueblue91]

I think Pep will start with Tosin, alongside Nico, as this would be less disruption to the back line. With Tosin being more comfortable on the right side, it wouldn't make sense to shift Nico over and play Mangala. This way player's are in their preferred positions, with Nico leading the defence.

It makes more sense to give Mangala a proper run out as he will be needed in the coming weeks.

Let him find his rhythm alongside other first teamers instead of youngsters.

Tosin has played 1 cup game this season,whilst nico has dived in and on his arse tosin will have to sort it,at the end of the day it is a CL game that pep wants to win so the one in russia doesn't matter,the kids can play in that and the cup game

nico has been brilliant most of the season. do you think if say tosin and foden play we are just going to lose ? they are more then good enough to play tomorrow. as pep stays we dont have a b team.

We have the first teamers who need games and the kids just breaking in get the cup games and the russia game then see after that,as i said respect the fact it's a CL game and get it won or do you really want to risk having to send the first team to russia a few days before the derby?

so playing foden isn't respecting the champions league ? one of the best young players in football right now, who's more then good enough. I'm not saying play the reserves, play a strong team with maybe 2 young players. foden for example is a first team player now. i dont get why you fear playing young players so much, they arent going to hinder us or make us weaker.

Foden is one thing but tosin in defence is another

 

[Mid Wales blue]

I will crap myself if i see nico with tosin for a CL game

Tosin will do just fine, he's got plenty enough in him for this game. As for Nico he gets way to much criticism, he's an excellent CB, who plays with real feist, and has been a huge part of very goods defence this season.

What's wrong with Tosin? He was our best defender against Wolves.

I respectfully give up,the kids can wait for me but not for you

If Pep goes with Mangala, the either Vinny or Tosin will play. Unless he goes with a back 3.

I'm a nico fan but he does end up on his arse at times and tosin would have to cover,he is no john..yet

 

[Manchester_lalala]

It's a game we need to win so we can send the b team to russia,relying on napoli to win their game is foolish,get the job done tomorrow

We’ve all been crying out to see our talented youngsters, nows the perfect time to throw them in. I won’t be to pleased if we don’t see either Foden and Diaz for more than 30 minutes.

 

[SWP's back]

Strongest side available is a no brainer win and we can field a second string in the Ukraine before the derby,as we don't play until Sunday against the mighty Huddersfield can't see passed a strong side ensure we win group first and foremost. I wouldn't want to have to get a result in the last game before we play utd.

I’ll bet you any money you like it won’t be the strongest side available as Pep has already stated it won’t be.

No, he's no JS, but he will be playing in a more familiar role than Nico would be. And I don't think Pep will play Vinny.

You know we could win this and still need something in Ukraine to finish top?

Yes but we might not,lets do our job and see what happens after that

Possess it if you can

Some people want the same team to play every game bar the Carabao Cup, but will then bemoan team selection when they get injured or burn out.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Possible Diaz and Foden tomorrow night....really hope they get some minutes

I don't want the same players to play every game,we have first teamers that aren't getting a game that need to play before the kids
