If Silva doesn't start this match I'll drive 3 hours to Molineux and punch JL on the ****ing nose. He's starting to really **** me off now.
It was a bit bizarre on Saturday when he only had about ten minutes, but with Luton and Stade Rennais coming up I'm guessing he'll play a bigger part, especially next Saturday. Otherwise, I too will start to wonder.

I think Sarabia needs to play (in a best 11) ... I'm just not sure who to take out. He's by far the most creative player we have. And with an actual pre-season and better match fitness, I think he's due for a good year.
Sarabia caught my eye on Saturday!! Will benefit from a full preseason.
He is better suited to playing in the middle.
Was a nice surprise as I didn’t see anything in him last season

Like others, I'm getting very annoyed with Lopetegui's team selection. It's that bad it's bordering on sabotage to show he needs new signings. If he actually plans on playing Hodge, Cunha as a striker, using Silva for 10 mins etc. then we're in massive trouble.

However, now not the time to be sending messages. Our best XI need to start the next two games & that's it IMO (on the basis RAN is going to leave, otherwise he'd be LB).

I think we will play two different half teams or well at the 60, to get the flavour of a starting XI,

With the team against rennes being the one likely fielded against Manure.

It will depend on Gomes's knock and if we risk him at all against luton or rennes (how far he is on recovery -told its nothing serious)

With the rumours of Lop working the players hard in training to get them super fit, could he not play a similar team for both games? Would be a good test of our fitness levels.

That's what I'm expecting anyway.

I'd play 442 with Doherty right mid ahead of Semedo, to double up and cancel out the threat of 'the next coming' Ryan Giles on their left.
I get your thinking but I’m not sure they would make for much of a partnership on the right. Neither can take a man on or cross!
Doc and Chiquinho would have been better!!!

I get the feeling Sasa, Gomes and Bouba aren’t quite 100% fit, so aren’t getting as many minutes in preseason as you’d like to see. With that in mind, would at least like to see Silva get a chance from the start.

How do you know Silva's not fit enough? And how do you know he's not good enough, we've not really seen him yet?
He doesn’t know, I just get the feeling that Silva keeps parking over the driveway of Waveneys house so he can’t get on, such is the hatred he holds for him.

I get it, my neighbour does it as well, winds me right up

If I was JL I'd start eleven under 21's.
He's going to need them.

Luton are exactly the kinda team we usually struggle against (think Huddersfield) will be interesting if Julen can find a way for us to control possession. Our best performances under him last year were when the opposition had more of the ball.

Utter nonsense.

You should know by now that Jeff covers multiple job roles.

Striker, right back and fly keeper as a minimum.

I think it'll be two teams of 45 and then on Saturday will be our strongest side and act like it's a real game
With all the players we've moved on it may be difficult to field a team of 45...

He had a few glimpses last season, but you could tell he was barely match fit. He has always been a player with an incredible engine, but you could see he was gassed multiple times last year.

I think Ireland tried something similar with Coleman at RB - didn’t work istr. Positioning all skewed, got in each others way etc.

It will be interesting to see how things go tomorrow and what team is put out.
Rob Edwards will want to get one over in us and prove that Luton can compete; he will play tough i think.
On the other hand these are their pre-season results so far and nothing to write home about:
  • 14 July Luton 3-1 Peterborough Utd Report.
  • 25 July Ipswich 1-1 Luton Report.
  • 29 July Sheff Wed 1-2 Luton (A) Report.
  • 2 August v Wolves (A) Details.
  • 5 August v VfL Bochum (A) Details.

Just signed up to watch EPL on an app in Asia, and re-watched Wolves v Liverpool last season, 3-0 win, with Sarabia, Cunha and Hwang, starting up front.

Okay, none of them scored, but remember those days my friends, before we all go Manure fanatics, wearing blue and white hooped shirts (original kit in 1877), as we buy Weghorst and Evans.

Imagine the scenes if Giles played tonight or against us in the season, has a good game and gets an assist…….

Shame I can't go tonight as I am out with family for a meal.

I will probably go on Saturday.

Remember Luton are going to be right at it tonight, full of enthusiasm, and its only a pre-season friendly if we get beat its not big deal what matters is the 3 points next April when they come to town.

I hope Sasa and Silva get some minutes tonight, I think getting them fit and keeping them fit could be the defining thing of our season we need at least a dozen goals from them pair over the course of a season.
