[Albion] Japan pre season

[chaileyjem]

NO GILMOUR !!!

(more likely he's done the least pre season training cos he was at the Euros so taking it easy. Likewise ..Wieffer is recovering from an injury too so not match fit yet)

OR MAYBE ??

 

[Denis]

No Gilmour?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

No Hinsh either - not quite ready?

 

[HCxUK]

Maybe something like...

Steele
Van Hecke - Baleba - Samuels
Lamptey - Milner - Moran - Mitoma
Minteh - Welbeck - Osman​

Three wingers?

Three wingers, Fabian? Three? That's insane!

 

[pigmanovich]

Maybe something like...

Steele
Van Hecke - Baleba - Samuels
Lamptey - Milner - Moran - Mitoma
Minteh - Welbeck - Osman​

Baleba as hybrid CDM/CB?

Looks like Rushworth, Webster, Igor, Hinshelwood, Wieffer, and Gilmour are all not on the bench. My guess is they all start the next game instead.

 

[Klaas]

Anyone see those Japanese twin boys who popped up in various videos/as mascots? I was sat infront of them at the Luton game. They must be all over this.

Oh and I wonder if that dancing seagull goggles boy is there too.

 

[Hugo Rune]

No Rushworth or Wieffer is strange. Picked up knocks?

Flick of a coin. He wants each player to get a maximum of 45mins today. The next match is where we might get some realistic clues about the starting line-up vs Everton.

CLUTCHING AT STRAWS

- well maybe - just understanding the plan thats all. they're just managing their minutes - nobody was going to do more than 45 apparently according Fab interview earlier in the week.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Have we lost yet

This. With 30-odd players out there it’s hardly a surprise some have been left out.…….he’ll want to give virtually all of them some minutes

 

[Hugo Rune]

My guess…..
Steele

Van Hecke - Baleba - Samuels
Lamptey - Milner - Welbeck - Moran
Minteh - Osman - Mitoma​

 

[HCxUK]

Baleba as hybrid CDM/CB?

Completely based off of the assumption that Hürz will use a similar system to the one used at St Pauli, yeah.

Formation wise, it really could be anything.. I'd wager that it'll be close to a 3-4-3, considering the amount of wingers and full backs shoehorned into the XI.

 

[Fiskmås]

Expecting a change of 10 or 11 players at half time, both to see as many as possible play and to not risk heat stroke for the poor pale brits in the team.

Also wouldn't be surprised if Fabian took this opportunity to award players who have shown the most intensity in practice with a starting slot, as a wake-up call to the whole squad. Not totally uncommon for a new coach during pre-season as I understand it.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

My guess…..
Steele

Van Hecke - Baleba - Samuels
Lamptey - Milner - Welbeck - Moran
Minteh - Osman - Mitoma​

I think we need to play Steele in goal rather than some deep lying right back.

 

[dstanman]

Interesting line-up was not expecting such an inexperienced team, but then again that is the point of friendlies

 

[dwayne]

Wieffer injured when we signed him .maybe still injured !
