Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Actually, sod it. We’ve been “bold” in our approach, chuck them in and see what happens. Nagy at the base of a midfield, with Massengo in front of him. Eliasson on one wing, Brownhill wide on the other, Palmer as a number 10 and Afobe up top. Out of possession, Brownhill drops in central too. Palmer has option to float out wide too. ..............................Bentley Pereira............Kalas.......Moore......Dasilva ..........................Nagy .........................................Massengo Brownhill............Palmer..................Eliasson ...........................Afobe...

DC Red Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I have a feeling we will start with all established players and then try to bring on three of the new boys during the game. So the starting lineup might be: ——————Bentley—————— Hunt—Kalas—Moore—DaSilva ——Brownhill——Walsh———— Weimann——KP———Eliasson ——————Diedhiou—————— Subs: Gilmartin, Baker, Rowe, Pereira, Nagy, Massengo and Afobe Nagy, Afobe and Pereira have only had one practice session so far (assuming Afobe made it and was not posing on the roof), which is probably not enough to start. Expect them to possibly start on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't be playing a CH there when we have 2 fit RB's that can fill that position. Why bother getting Pereira in if LJ thinks BW is the best option that we have. Don't get it.

CHAZ MICHAELS Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I wonder if it may be a little to early to start any of the new boys.

Can't see Taylor anywhere near the squad now. Home grown rule (as @chipdawg mentioned) means we need probably Semenyo on the bench. With Palmer, Szmodics, Massengo , Nagy, Brownhill, Rowe as options , I would guess Bakinson going on loan so that leaves AS. Fam and Afobe have to be 1 & 2 so I see Taylor on a loan to L1. 37 minutes ago, CHAZ MICHAELS said: I wonder if it may be a little to early to start any of the new boys.

Fam will start, not just because it's Brum, I doubt LJ will want to make wholesale changes just yet, let the new boys bed in a little. Tuesday is a good time to rotate things. Plenty of options now.

Robbored Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Personally I reckon it’s anyones guess. None if know many of the new signings are match fit nor do we know how any of them have performed in just two days of training. Adapting to LJs methods can take time. It’ll be fascinating to see today’s line up when it’s announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of experience might be needed during this period so we might select Rowe and Wright. Nagy, Pereira and Afobe could all amake the bench and Afobe will definitely feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Crayola Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Cant remember being this excited to see a line up. Neither being so clueless as to how it will look. Agree with the above. The one new player I think will start will be Nagy. And i think / hope Szmodics is a certainty too with Palmer to come in if needed to impact the game.

Guest Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Good thing for Palmer is that Afobe looks a better player than Fam when threading a ball through. Kasey has the ability to beat a player or two in front of the defence, but kind of almost pointless if the move then breaks down. I think Szmodics is probably more suited to playing behind Fam than Palmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 As long as Weimann does not get picked to play right flank of midfield, that will do for me. (No problem with him being picked to play central up front). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adobe and maybe 1 other on the bench. They'll be eased in gradually....with Massengo spending a bit of time with the he's first. I was thinking this, I would have thought that some of the current fringe players would step up first, I would expect Walsh and Szmodics to be involved and Semenyo now he is no longer suspended. I think our new guys may get cameos from the bench, unless they are footballing geniuses who can assimilate LJ's requirements in a couple of sessions.This may not be that ridiculous as I would think they are used to being coached in a more tactical way considering their backgrounds.

You might be right, but then I'm hoping he will be loaned out. I rate the player he could become, but so far has not done it except Stoke and couple of other sub appearances he looked decent. Like someone else said, maybe Rowe gets a go. Just not sure LJ will play either of the 2 new midfielders straight away. Rowe looked very good in preseason vs Derby.

I just hope it is a better performance than Sunday Pato's loan out really gives Semenyo more opportunities on the left imo. What I like about Semenyo and Eliasson as wingers is we could go with both either wing, both can beat players. Could at times go 4141/433 and build our play around them beating their full backs. I think that is where Semenyo is best at the moment. Not saying that's what we should do, but it's an option and potentially a great way of hitting teams on the counter attack.
