    Stokes must NOT start against Maribor if Deila plans to use 1 striker slot.

    Even Balde would be better than Stokes. He can at least pose an aerial threat. But I'm thinking Berget may get the spot.

    Did I watch another game or something? Drop Stokes for Berget? This place is getting worse.

    He was rank up until the goal. He's not a solo striker. I'd gladly play 2 up front, but I am not the manager.

    Berget was * in the first leg and only played the last 10 minutes tonight....hardly worth dropping stokes over IMO. We need to play more than one upfront, that was hard to watch at times at times.

    I can see your point. But Deila is one stubborn *. He wants 1 up front, it's worse than my obsession with Asian players.:56:

    So what you're telling me is we have no hope of two upfront :smiley-laughing002:

    If the game was emora,

    Gordon

    Lustig
    Dayner
    Virgil
    Izzy

    Kayal
    Biton(would like Henderson play in but hasn't been involved much)
    Johansen

    Forrest
    Mcgregor
    Berget(hopefully a new striker)

    We have to remember were away first leg and have been shut in Europe so far, would settle for a score draw

    Deila lacks flexibility. What is wrong playing 2 up front, I'd love to ask him. Tonight I was actually screaming at the screen and Deila to send VVD up front and replace Stokes with a CB. That's how out of place Stokes looked up top, alone.

    I'd like to see this on Saturday in preparation for the Maribor game. Away goals are crucial, so we need to pose some attacking threat.

    Gordon
    Matthews Lustig Virgil Izaguirre
    Biton
    B. Kayal Johansen
    Forrest......................A. Tonev
    Berget

    Fasan
    Ambrose
    Mulgrew
    Boerrigter
    McGregor
    Commons
    Stokes

    We know what Stokesy can do.

    Is that official? I know that's what was doing the rounds on social media but BBC Sport said it was only a slight knock, mate.

    Biton Mulgrew
    Johansen
    Forrest Stokes
    Griffiths

    Main thing is keeping the door shut at the back, id play Biton and Mulgrew sitting deep with Johansen doing the closing down and Forrest and Stokes in free roles like attacking-mid but to drop back and defend the wings. I wouldnt start Commons or McGregor.

    Did I glance right? Drop stokes for Berget?
    Tbh I'd drop stokes...got a goal bit I was wanting him off until then.


    But as for the match...we still really are lacking and need to sort it out. Got a second chance at the champions league here
