Huddersfield (a) Pre-Match Thread

Except for ST the team picks itself. Only other thing I'd be tempted to do is put Foden on the bench over Yaya.

----------------------Ederson----------------------
Walker---------Vinny------Ota--------Delphinho
----------------------Fern---------------------------
----------------Kev---------Silva-------------------
Razza---------------Jesus--------------------Sane

Can’t see anything other than this line up.

Just the people who were sadly missed this evening. You'd think that when the reserves get a sniff of match time they'd bust a gut, but they seemed content at just keeping tabs on their job.

I think it's lack of game time mainly and too many changes. Not saying that's a bad thing because I totally agree with it but it seems to always have an effect. We got the win though so alls well that ends well.

...for the rest of the season.

Back to our slick ball movement please. It needs to go forward quicker, otherwise they will just get organised like Feyenoord.

Kompany is getting many yellows, and I think the reason for that is he lost some pace therefore he needs to make more fouls.

Thats why Pep better prepare Mangala to take over until Stones return.

Good god, you don’t have talk some shite fella.

To be honest in a round about way I agree. If you rested Kompany until the big games in December what's to guarantee that he would be fit anyway. With his recent record he'd probably pick up an injury sat on the bench. I'd take the risk and go with mangala from now until stones returns. May sound irrational to some, but in my opinion, a big part of the performances this season is down to a consistent line up. Compare that to last season with the raft of changes every game. A decent run of games may help.
I know it's not just that (better full backs and keeper) but to me it's a major part. A bit like last night's game, criticism of players coming in to the team with seven changes. Keep the normal core players in and change one or two and people wouldn't be blasting b Silva and gundogan. Nothing replaces playing together in first team matches.

Can I be the first to put the weekly "I've got a bad feeling about this game" post?

Not a banana skin in sight!

Let’s not forget, no matter who we have already played and who is coming in the future, “our next match is the hardest and most important”

Kompany should play every other game. Plays V Huddersfield, West Ham, Rags & Spurs. Alternative for games against Southampton, Shaktar, Swansea & Leicester. That will take us up to the Xmas games when hopefully Stones will be back

I would hope that's the plan.
Needs the first 2 to get games in his legs ready for the second 2
