The Fun Factory Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) When playing in Europe do teams still exchange those little club triangles before kick off, along with a massive bouquet of flowers if playing abroad? Also I have read that the Europa Conference League doesn't have its own jingle, instead having to piggy back onto the Europa League. Boo. It needs its own theme tune. The Conference League is the indie hipster's choice of european football. The football equivalent of six music.

Players love to play when they're winning, no - one in that side from Saturday will want to be left out for Thursday night, and I hope that's the case. Although, I wouldn't complain if Jacobs played instead of Zani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than knowing they're Bosnian I genuinely know nothing about Zrinjski. That however is part of the charm of european runs. Will go for a solid 3-0 win. I think we'll be o.k playing the Everton team in this. Calling any game a Cup final that isn't actually a final is a bit cringe, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 If he does make changes and rests Emi and SJM I would like to see Dougie get the captain's armband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Coral have us 1/10 to win this and Zrinjski 25/1, with the draw at 8/1. They still have us as 4/1 favourites to lift the trophy as well. I would go strong on this one too and I would tell players that they can potentially get a rest, once we have established a 3-goal lead. I would start: Emi, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Luiz, Tielemans, McGinn, Ramsey, Zaniolo and Ollie, given Diaby and had knocks on Saturday. If we do get a 3-goal cushion, I would look to give Marschall, Lenglet, Carlos, Kellyman and Duran, some minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 No JJ, Diaby, Kamara and Bailey a late fitness test. Martinez Cash Konsa Torres Digne Traore Dendoncker Luiz Zaniolo McGinn Watkins Ehhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Ramsey is out also, Traore has zero match fitness so be odd for him to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're probably going to try to fit in Tielemans and Dendoncker in the same side. The lineup I think we'll see - and that I don't feel good about - Olsen Cash Konsa Torres Digne Zaniolo Dendoncker Luiz Tielemans McGinn Watkins Hardly the line up you want to see for our first European home game in over a decade. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Hmm maybe if carlos is back we could go with Konsa at RB and cash go into RM Martinez Konsa Carlos Torres Digne Cash Luiz Tielemans Zaniolo Mcginn Watkins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 No Kellyman as he isnt listed . So i think we will see Tommi OReilly on the bench instead. **** injuries are causing havoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Martinez Cash Carlos Torres Digne Bailey Luiz McGinn Zaniolo Tielemans Watkins Tielemanns has been shite, but let's give him an attacking role and see if that frees up any confidence in him.

MrBlack Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Wonder whats up with JJ. Hope it's nothing aggravated and just part of the planned return to fitness for him that he won't play competitively more than twice in a week... is that a thing? With kamara and diaby out, we're looking light but hopefully gives Zaniolo chance to shine on the right on the diaby role. Something I've wanted to see since we signed him. Martinez Cash Konsa Pau Digne Luiz Donk Mcginn Tielemans Zaniolo Watkins/Duran Tielemans given licence to roam forward and McGinn playing a more withdrawn role (a waste of his talents but we know he's capable of it) It's not great but should be enough to beat a team supposedly worse than Hibs...
