Our Bench Tomorrow

[yosemite sam]

With so many defensive and midfield players out,our bench will be full of forward minded players.
With the exception of King,what other defensive minded players will be on the bench ?

I’m still trying to work out the first XI. Never mind the bench.

Lack of “steel” in midfield in the shape of Jack or Arfield tomorrow is a concern.

Throwing a Scott Arfield with questionable match fitness into the last one was a brave call from the manager that paid off handsomely

Bassey is suspended

So he is
Cheers

 

[Chimo]

Apart from King, I don't think we have any youth players who aren't out on loan so Gerrard may list himself after all

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

McGregor
Tavernier Goldson Simpson Barisic
Aribo Davis Kamara
Wright Morelos Kent

McLaughlin King Hagi Stewart Roofe Itten Defoe

 

[Jim Smith]

McGregor
Tavernier Goldson Simpson Barisic
Aribo Davis Kamara
Wright Morelos Kent

McLaughlin King Hagi Stewart Roofe Itten Defoe

That’s what I would go with.

 

[wsb&warmy]

McGregor
Tavernier Goldson Simpson Barisic
Aribo Davis Kamara
Wright Morelos Kent

McLaughlin King Hagi Stewart Roofe Itten Defoe

I reckon Hagi will start with Wright on the bench.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

I think the only slot up for debate is whether we go with Hagi, Wright or Roofe as the right forward. Rest of the team picks itself.

'The cry was no defenders' indeed.

 

[bluetonic]

Hagi for Aribo in midfield with Wright up front with Kent and Morelos.

 

[strathavenbear]

Wonder if Itten being played wide of the 3 would be considered. Has been used there before and does give the option of going a bit longer if our midfield can't get on the ball.

This is literally the only decision gerrard has to make.

I think it’ll be Hagi, but hope it’s Wright.

With you on this

I myself can't see it happening, but if I was picking the team I'd go with a front 3 of Kent, Morelos & Itten for a change.

Why? Partly because of the reasons you've stated and partly because we're the fucking Champions and why the hell not!

 

[Madjid Moments]

Is Barjonas still around for midfield support?

Is Balogun def out tomorrow too?

The starting team is pretty obvious, with the exception of the right side up front.

Barjonas is at Ayr United. Balogun is out.

 

[JayDee]

Barjonas is on loan at Ayr.

I'll be very surprised if Balogun's available for tomorrow.

 

[Madjid Moments]

Barjonas is at Ayr United. Balogun is out.

Oh well just need to win with what we have.
