I like sprouts but only at Christmas...

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

1st leg we played

Adrian
JOB - Collins - Oggy - Cressy
Noble - Kouyate - Oxford
Payet - Valencia - Zarate

Think we currently have players available to field a team at least as strong as that let's just hope we stay with 11 on the field

OldCastleSwift

I like Christmas but only in December....

Lukerz

I like December but only at the end of the year...

Lukerz

Team tonight:

Randolph
Burke - Oxford - Ogbonna - Byram
Noble - Obiang
Antonio - Valencia - Tore
Calleri

Adrian, Collins, Reid, Kouyate, Browne, Carroll, Fletcher

Kouyate on bench ;hmm

Yeoldhammer

And in picture format:



Fair play to Slav for pushing Antonio forward.

Now for the performance of his life!

Tbf, this side only has to be good enough to keep us in the game for the return leg, and it should be.

We want to see youngsters getting game time, and they are.

Hang on. So Twitter was wrong ;hmm

ASLEFshrugged

Marcus Browne, 18yo, can play AM or CM. 2 goals 4 assists in 14 U21 games

grey_til_I_dye

If Valencia is playing behind Calleri, I think it might suit him.

Lukerz

Surely it must be three at the back?

Ravel49

Hat trick ;cool

TwistandShout

Love that team ;bowdown

Lukerz

Yep. Happy with that team.

Just one LB away from being well balanced.

Wonder if it's Byram LB, Burke LB, Ogbonna LB or three at the back and Byram-Antonio as WB's?

Great opportunity to use Antonio on the wing, get his confidence back and Tore to get some game minutes

*cough*

;cool

Possibly, possibly not, both Ex and C&H reported the same Kouyate injury.

It could be that Kouyate is only on the bench to make up the numbers?

Nope, looks like it's Burke at LB according to OS

heathrowhammer

I too like this team!!!
2-0 to us

Sure it'll change when we are either possession

But otherwise strong team

Surprised to see calleri already let's hope he can stay fit

Happy for Antonio nows his chance

Surely just go with six subs then ;hmm You can only use three anyway.

Exciting selection especially up top. We can win this by 2 goals. Keen to see Obiang take this chance to show he is better than Nordveidt.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

I suppose it could be three at the back.....he's done it before

;hmm

tomkinsworldclass

Exciting team. Interesting to see how we line up. Think its good we're going with enner and Calleri together. Big game for Tore as he looked way off pace vs CFC. COYI ;scarf

baracks_a_hammer

Nice team he's put out, well done Slav

;ok

Bazshuayi

I dont like the team ;run (think we should play some youngsters AFTER we get to group stage)

Vorselaarhammer

Why is our RB playing RW....

Interested to see the new striker.

EXETERHAMMER

I'm guessing three at the back with Antonio and Byram as wingbacks. I would really like that formation if it happened.

Bazshuayi

I'd player Reid Ginge as CBs and Oggy LB
Valencia benched (rather play any of the youngsters instead of him)
Carroll up top

Sincerely hope I am overreacting and we get a positive result
