Only one defender on the bench as opposed to the million we normally have - that’s a positive. O’Hare, Kast, Bapaga and Burroughs all attacking and potentially able to change the game.
Starting XI looks strong to me, not sure the concern. Granted not the most attacking midfield, but it worked last week so despite the improved opposition, there’s no reason it won’t today.
Really glad it’s sticking with 3 at the back and giving Drysdale a go and youth a chance on the bench.
3-1 City, Bakayoko, Shipley, Westbrooke.
But we've got those attacking options on the bench because we've hardly got any on the pitch. Baka then Shipley/Zain.
Not if he's carrying a bit of knock or has been unwell.Eccles ahead of O’Hare is bizarre surely ?
marosi the oldest player? 26?

A 3-4-2-1 does make the team make more sense and I guess MR doesn't quite have enough faith in Eccles to do the DM job by himself, esp with the inexperienced Drysdale behind, so him and Walsh together create that solidity. But I really think we'll struggle going foward but hopefully COH can resume his supersub role and Allen may be able to have a cameo too.
Such a conservative line up when you look at the attacking players on bench. Looks to have all the ingredients of an awful snooze fest

The negativity is bonkers.
But realistic with the look of the team, as I say hopefully they will surprise usThe negativity is bonkers.
Only Eccles a surprise surely and that’s cause of KellyBut realistic with the look of the team, as I say hopefully they will surprise us

Dont think soCWR reporting a likely higher attendance than normal today
Tbf, I think O'Hare is far more effective coming off the bench against tired legs and the game stretched.exactly. Main difference is that O'Hare is likely to end the game on the pitch, after running around and putting pressure on the tired opposition, as oposed to starting the game on the pitch and blowing in the 2nd half
O'Hare can't last 90 minutes ? Where's that come fromWhich ones would you have started ?
Allen - Played 90 mins yesterday
O'Hare - cant last 90 mins and is a great impact sub
Kast - cant last 5 mins
Bapaga - another youngster and would arguably leave us more exposed in the middle
