Considering how bad their defending was , Iā€™m surprised itā€™s taken this long.

The team does look to play front foot football but I had the feeling that the coaching aspect was naive.

Letā€™s not forget they come from Czech level of football. Naive or not, thatā€™s levels below. They conceded 5 (6!), but they gave us a good game, taken everything into context.

Fully expect a stronger lineup than expected. A mix of youth and experience. Expect that any starters, like Mo, Szobozo, Macca, Gomez, Bradley etc, will be taken off at 60.

Albeit winning the EL is priority over the FA Cup, by winning so handsomly in the first leg, we can set up to go to Old Toilet as strong as possible on Sunday, before the international break.

I think itā€™s a big night for McConnell, Clark, Danns and maybe Kaide Gordon. Even Trey Nyoni could play a part in this and get a taste of an Anfield European night.

Smattering of experience around them, but itā€™s an opportunity to rest and rotate ahead of Saturday.

Trey Nyoni surely wonā€™t play a part in this as he is NOT part of the Europa League squad. And he is also NOT eligible for ā€œList Bā€, because he just arrived at the club in the summer.

Couldnā€™t see anyone obviously missing from training.

The minor doom that it the international break is almost upon us and as such the various threads are going to go into over and above the Ā« norms Ā»ā€¦

As such I would like a quite uneventful Thursday and a crazy Sunday to enter the short darkā€¦

Two nice, comfortable 3-0 wins would do me.

But not their miseries :laughing:

Good to see Gravenberch taking part in the warm up and opening part of the season at least. Perhaps he could be involved in one of the final two games before the break.

Have the dutch national team still not forgive him? :joy:

Haha @Mascot

To get a 3-0, you have to post 1-1.

Meh.

It would be socially responsible towards the community here to ā€œmehā€ whatā€™s working, provided that your 3-0 worksā€¦

I donā€™t believe in all this superstitious bollocks. Try someone who does, like @GermanRed instead.

Superstitious Bollocks. Thatā€™s an image I will have to take to the cleanersā€¦

Thanks for the clarification mate, Iā€™ll never know what gave the impression you are the most superstitious bloke in TANā€¦

(Not sure I believe it, but Iā€™ll try)
