[Albion] AEK team news

[chaileyjem]

Would like to see an Academy FB at least on bench

There will be (probably be) about 4 or so u21s / Academy players on the bench.

of which probably it will be some / all of

Leigh Kavanagh is a centre back
Ben Jackson is a centre back
Josh Duffus is attacking mid
Mark O Mahony is a centre forward

 

[chaileyjem]

So that makes it …

Steele/Verbruggen
Veltman, Igor, Dunk, Milner
Hinshelwood, Dahoud, Gilmour, Gross, Baleba
Mitoma, Adingra, Buonanotte, Lallana,
Pedro, Ferguson

And u21s…

And for Chelsea (A) - as above but Dahoud /Dunk out and JPvH /Moder in .

Jack Hinchy has travelled.

Don't know about team news - but I have told Mrs Bodian I won't be cooking tea - as it's a European away night, with the usual early kick-off.

Only just discovered it's 7.45 though. I might not tell her till tomorrow night....

It's a 5:45pm kick-off, UK time.

Bloody glad I mentioned it then! I read 17:45 as 7:45...!!

Thank you AZ Gull.

It's 7.45 if you're cooking tea in Athens!

 

[Reddleman]

We should start Mark O Mahony. I get that RDZ really likes players to know the system but surely a centre forwards job is more straight forward.

If we lose Ferguson or Joao Pedro we are in season over category.

 

[Insel affe]

The issue is that we haven’t really got anyone else who can play centre back tomorrow. Maybe Veltman but then who would play right back?

Steele obviously

So where is Imari Samuels? He's a LB, so you'd think he might be around the plot somewhere - is he injured, do you know?

He's an LB so of course he is.

 

[Guinness Boy]

He's an LB so of course he is.

It's likely he is. Was neither in the squad for Celtic B nor Forest.

Of course, he could just be shit.

 

[raymondo]

Would it make sense to rest Igor for Sunday with Dunk suspended? If he's injured again on Thurs we are truly screwed.

I think De Zerbi will prioritize Athens over the weekend game.

 

[rebel51]

I'm dreading every game we play, coz of another player getting crooked. You couldn't make it up, it's amazing how we are still up there. Anymore though and we are completely screwed. Also these bleeding foreign cups coming up just to add insult to injury

 

[GT49er]

Yes I know he is a LB. That's why I asked if anybody knew why he wasn't involved in some way.

Thank you AZ Gull.

Honestly - some people…….

my brother did that for the last one. I’m just about to make sure he’s got it right for this time.

 

[GT49er]

He hasn't been shit for the U21s this season - in fact he's actually looked quite good.

 

[AZ Gull]

He certainly didn't when Walsall scored their second in the EFL Trophy - to the extent that I felt the need to post THREE screenshots of his extraordinary "defending".

Casper Nilsson is the only recognised full-back from the development squad who could be named in the squad (and he is a right-back, although he has played as a left-back on occasion).
