To be honest I’m actually really looking forward to it. New season, fresh optimism. Just disappointing we can’t be there.
Hard to know what our line-up is going to be considering the sheer number of players we have. Can’t help but feel that Webber assumed we would’ve had a few more player sales by now, because particularly in attacking midfield we are so overstocked. Buendia, Cantwell, Dowell, Hernandez, Placheta, Sinani, Stiepermann and Martin all competing for 3 spots. Emi and Martin are obviously both out for this one, but even so it’s almost impossible to guess what team we’re gonna put out.
The one I reckon Farke will go for:
Krul
Aarons Zimmermann Godfrey Xavi
Skipp McLean
Dowell Cantwell Placheta
Pukki
Subs: McGovern, Hanley, Rupp, Vrancic, Onel, Idah, Hugill
That bench leaves out McCallum, Mumba, Sorenson, Tettey, Sinani and Stiepermann, as well as obviously Emi, Martin and Gibson. I really don’t understand how we can fit everyone in.
As I said, I actually can’t wait for this one. Can’t wait to lose 2-0
