I'm not sure if the "Team for xxxx" threads are a regular gig for someone, so apologies if I'm standing on any toes with this, but the Luton game is hurtling towards us.

So, what's your team?

Steele
Hinshelwood - van Hecke - Dunk - Estupinan
Buonanotte - Gross - Gilmour - Milner
Pedro
Welbeck

Gloucester
Steele/Verbruggen (don't really care which).
Veltman (or Lamptey if not fit) - Van Hecke - Dunk - Estupinan
Gross - Gilmour
Hinsh - Lallana - Pedro
Ferguson/Welbeck (either or, no preference).​

I really did not like the 3 at Sheff U. It seemed like Perv gave Igor very little protection and they just kept targeting that area. Against a mobile and physical long ball unit like LTFC, I much prefer a 4411 like you’ve suggested, with Milner back in there.

I think we have to find a space for Milner. Luton at home are nuggety and physical and there will be little space or time - conditions in which I think Milner will thrive. And out of possession, he can man mark the shit out of Barkley who makes them tick.

So the following with a fluid formation:
Big Jase
Young Hinsh
Lord Dunky
JPVH
The Perv
Young James Milner
WBG
The German God of Football
Goodnight
DatMan
JP

This. Both Sheffields goals came from our left where Perv was pushing up and Igor wasn't getting over quick enough.

No changes for me from Saturday apart from Steele in.

To his credit Fergie was much better at Sheff. He stood up better to the physical battering when holding the ball, and his movement was better. He still needs to get a shot away. But after a dreadful run of 9 games before, that was the first time I’ve seen an uptick in him. May it continue.

It was a 2 + Webster
Igor + JPVH + Webster, if you really want to spend time and energy digging out our players. Every one of them had sloppy moments, that coughed up chances. Webster's lapses are always eye-catching, but JOVH gave the ball away plenty of times, and Igor positionally was all over the place. Pretty much every dangerous attack Sheffield United had, came from a simple ball down Igor's side.
