I would keep Souttar and Balogun in CD, play Jack in front of them, and Raskin plus Cifuentes. The latter two are box to box guys and willing to shoot, while Jack does the cover. We will sure play with Tavernier and Barisic, simply because we lack options (Ridvan injured and Sterling hardly played). So ...

 

Butland

 

Tavernier - Souttar - Balogun - Barisic

 

Jack

 

Raskin - Cifuentes 

 

Cantwell/Lammers

 

Danilo - Dessers

I've got tears in my eyes, here.

 

dB doesn't have us in a 4-2-3-1.

 

[Gonzo79 13,609]

There's no way Balogun will play if Goldson is fit.

Hook, line, and sinker! ... honestly, I only did that for you and left out the "midfield diamond" remark too.

IMHO, as last season showed with Goldosn, we seriously need an upgrade on all our three defensive warhorses, Goldson, Tavernier, and Barisic. Maybe Sterlin is one answer, Ridvan is okay, but we need better than Goldson and Davies, not least in Europe.

[Malangsob 1,203]

I think should start Cifuentes for sure. 

 

Other than that we had em rocked back on their heels for most of the last game.

 

Just go sideways on em same as before.

Goldson didn't have a great season but he's still a good, reliable CB.

They know what's required so it's up to them to go out and do the business.

To progress, I suspect we will have to score, maybe twice?

0-0 puts us through - no I don't fancy that kind of nerve shredding night either

I think you play Cantwell and Danilo in this game with the view of rotating half the team for the Morton game in the cup.

 

I'd probably go with Sima or Matondo and 2 Cdm's as well just because Beale knows it in Europe and can work with it in game scenarios.

 

I'd be tempted to play Roofe actually but I don't think he will, I'd give Dessers 90 off to be honest.

 

Looking forward to it, hopefully we get the win.
