Huddersfield Town (A) - Wed 24th Sept, 19:45 | EFL Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[ysmsa]

Don’t think anyone who started today will be in the starting XI on Wednesday:

Trafford
Nunes
Stones
Mfuni
Ake
Gonzalez
Phillips
Lewis
Mukasa
Savinho
Bobb

Yep, probably leave Stones out though.

We are well beyond the "game time and match fitness stage" for Stones.

If he's fit he plays in the important games, that's it.

 

[Eaststander1]

Half the team seemed to limp off today, so I suspect Pep will be reaching into the dark depths of his squad to put some sort of team together to play this lot ..... but whichever side he sends out should hopefully be enough to deal with Huddersfield .... although I bet United fans said that about their own side before their ill fated trip to Grimsby!

Stones a no for me.

We must have someone who can play up front as a CF, isn't Mukasa a midfielder?

 

[ninjamonkey]

Trafford
Nunes
Ake
Stones
Lewis
O'Reilly
Nico
Reijnders
Bobb
Savinho
Mukasa


Don't even dare name Rodri as a sub. Haaland can be on the bench as a break glass in case of emergency option otherwise he sees no minutes either. Doku and Bernardo I'd leave at home too. Make sure there is at least 3 kids on the bench so if we are comfortable and do use subs, we aren't putting minutes into legs of those who dont need it.

 

[citeh94]

Ortega? Probably Trafford
Lewis Braithwaite Ake Mfuni
Phillips Gonzalez Mukasa
Savinho Bobb McAidoo

 

[1964]

Important that the main players feature in their best positions and get the full game. Wouldn’t actually be surprised if Haaland starts so that we can keep some shape.

Trafford
Nunes
Stones
Ake
Phillips
Bobb
Gonzalez
Lewis
Mukasa
Savinho
Haaland

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Beer
Sportsman
Magic Rock
Grove
Rat & Ratchet
County

 

[Fordyboy46]

Get the team selection correct here and you're a genius. I'd go Trafford, Nunes, Stones, Ake, O'reilly, Gonzalez, Lewis, Reijnders, Bobb, Savinho, Mukasa

Can Mukasa play as a forward?

Phillips

Mukasa
Savinho
Bobb

Hmmm, I don’t think it’ll be 11 changes but won’t be far off.

 

[Tevez City]

Can Mukasa play as a forward?

I have no idea, but all what he needs is ( energy to press, Good at controlling and keeping the ball under pressure & eye on goal )

 

[pudge]

Hate this lot with a passion, just think they were an absolute abomination when in the league.

Hope we pump them

 

[Pollock's Deft Backheader]

If Khusanov is injured Nunes won't play.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

I think we should go:

Trafford
Nunes Stones Ake Mfuni
Lewis Nico Mukasa
Savinho Bobb R. Heskey

That gives every first team player minutes and integrates the most deserving academy players (as things stand).

Would surely be enough to win the match albeit not comfortably.

Give the boys some rest, this is not that important. With euro fixtures regularly, it’s simple; give these games time off for the big boys and don’t worry if we go out.

 

[shemnel]

heavily changed team incoming.

Nunes, Bobb, Ake, Stones, Savinho, Gonzales will almost certainly play. Maybe Trafford.

 

[KS55]

Stones a no for me.

We must have someone who can play up front as a CF, isn't Mukasa a midfielder?

Mukasa would make a decent false 9.

There we go - always ruddy happens! :-(

Ruddy - now there's a word I haven't heard in anger for fifty or more years
