I don't think it is Domzale Sports Park. Were they not supposed to be playing the tie at a bigger stadium in Ljubljana?

Lewis Page or Ogbonna at left-back if Creswell is out after the bad tackle on him today?

Hopefully Burke, Oxford and Cullen will all get a run out at some point.

I fancy Fletcher to score on his debut - Not sure if we will start with Valencia or Carrol up front though.

I expect the best available team. There's about £10m riding on us making the group stage.

I like the look of Feghouli - a more consistent Faubert - while Tore and Havard did okay today.

I expect us to maybe nick a 2-1, setting us up for the return game. We don't kick off in the league until 15 August; no need to hold back.

Feghouli is nothing like Faubert. Faubert was a dreadful player with no discernible skill. Feghouli is on a different planet to him. I don't mean to call you out as such, but I found this to be a very lazy comparison.

I thought Tore looked like a more consistent Razvan Rat.

Really hope it's not Page. A bit harsh perhaps but he's looked poor in the half dozen matches I've seen him play, not one who's going to make it IMO.

It really is unbelievable we still haven't bought a back up left back when Cresswell has been our only real left back for almost two years now.

It's okay, Tore is Razvan Rat according to Pep.

I doubt it will be Ogbonna. He's probably still on his holidays following the Euros and he probably deserves a break anyway. Hmm I think it will likely be Page or someone else as a makeshift LB

Pretty sure Byram will be moved over to LB. He was tried there against Rubin Kazan and although he didn't overly impress there is no other option with Ogbonna being out. Doubt Bilic would risk Page in such a big match.

They look similar from the stands :lol:

Faubert wasn't dreadful, he just suffered a very serious injury and was never the same player afterwards, he had some very good games for us and right up until his last game he gave everything.

Yeah good point , I reckon that is most likely if Cresswell doesn't make it back in time. Byram at LB and Antonio at RB

I'd ask him to play if we need him, he played one game in the Euros. Same goes for Collins, if we need him take him, these guys are paid a fortune and they've had a break, they need games now in the run up to the new season.
