Team vs Olympiacos

Post by Newcastleclaret93 » Tue Aug 21, 2018 2:07 pm

Nearly impossible to predict the team given squad rotation.

However given the fact that Vydra is in the squad, I would imagine something like:

Hart
Beardsley, Long, Gibson, Taylor
Walters, Hendricks, Westwood, Gudmundsson,
Vydra
Barnes

Possibly replace McNeil for Gudmundsson.

I'd be surprised to see Vydra start.

Heaton
Bardsley Long Gibson Taylor
Lennon Cork Hendrick Walters
Barnes
Wood

JBG ON FOR Lennon 65 mins
Vokes for wood 65, as he starts at Fulham hopefully
Vydra for Barnes , as starts at Fulham hopefully too
Or Westwood for Cork/Barnes 65 mins if Vydra isn't fit.

I’d go with that team Macca but as Wood appears to be the chosen one he’ll be rested for Sunday, as this is an away leg, and Sam will lead the line.

4-1-4-1 formation for the first time this season

..................Heaton
Bardsley Long Gibson Taylor
................Westwood
JBG Hendrick Cork Lennon
.................Barnes

Westwood to stay deep allowing Hendrick and Cork to support Barnes

To be fair I still think beardsley would do
A job.

But unfortunately it was an auto correct.

Does anyone think McNeil will get a game?

Although he's been unreal I think Cork needs to rest and have a full week off. Hendrick played well at the weekend and I'd give him a role alongside Westwood.

Heaton
Lowton
Long
Gibson
Taylor

JBG
Westwood
Hendrick
Lennon

Walters (dropping into a 5 where necessary)
Barnes

I would love it if we played our strongest team.

But I imagine we would be more than happy with a nil-nil

Can see it being the same side that played v Istanbul at home in the last round, but with Vydra on the bench

I’d like to see the following afrom the start :

Heaton

Bardsley. Long. Gibson. Ward

Hendrick. Westwood

JBG. McNeil. Walters

Vokes

Keeps a few lads fresh, plenty of experience with an insuregenace of fresh enthusiasm with McNeil in their to show what he’s about. I don’t in a million years think that’ll ever happen but it would be good to see. Then being Vydra on on the second half for some first team action.

I think Ward needs resting,he looked knackered on Sunday.I dont know whether he picked up a knock but he really wasn't 100%.

I just don't see the point of playing one up front on his own whoever it might be we would struggle to make him affective.
So Vokes and Barnes up top for me, they both understand their pressing duties.
I hope Vydra gets a run out, even if it's only a cameo.

Heaton

Bardsley. Long. Gibson. Taylor

JBG (right wing only). Cork. Hendrick Ward (get some crosses in for Wood!)

Vydra (no.10 position)

Wood


Were short of options already and the season has just started, poor planning really, hope we progress in this competition though or allthe hard work last year will be for nothing....

I`m hoping Dyche might feel the need to play a few of `em from Saturday to get that 2nd half out of their systems -

Hart

Lowton Long Gibson Taylor

Gudmundsson Hendrick Westwood NO IDEA

Vydra (won`t happen I know but no other names are springing to mind!!!! :oops: )

Vokes

p.s. strange how I found it difficult to come up with a name for the left-wing / `No.10` berths but finding difficulty connecting with this season so far. Many people have suggested that the team might struggle adapting to the Thursday/Sunday schedule...well I definitely am!!! I haven`t been able to watch any of the European games (3am/4am) and the 9:30pm Sunday kick-offs are a nightmare for me too. Just put your clocks back already!!!!!!!

Anyway, I hope all of the Clarets who travel to Greece have an incredible time!

When did we sign Beardsley, and isn't he a striker not a defender :P

I'd expect to see 5 across midfield. It's a tough game away, in the first leg. SD will want to keep it tight.

With Vydra playing on Monday and getting his fitnes back up, I'd expect him to start on the bench, but hope to see him come on in the second half.
