I want Chiefy to play Najjarine and LBS behind Eze. Piper and Sander as impact subs. And when Sander is fit enough to replace Najjarine in the 11.
LBS is very young still. But he has been a bit disappointing this season I feel when coming on. Shouldn't be starting.
If you are dropping Piper to the pine, it's Mileusnić who comes into the run on 11.
I didn’t see how he went last week because I turned it off after the third goal, but his last two sub appearances were very good. He hasn’t started once this season I believe, so would be nice to see how he goes starting a game. I remember when he started in the aus cup against Perth he was one of our best players.
Wouldn’t be opposed to Mileusnic starting either but he’s played less football than LBS so he might not even be ready to start. He’s also a good option of the bench probably being our fastest player in the squad against tired legs is always a strong weapon coming on.
Not sure I agree. LBS is not someone to play a full "adult" game yet, not at his age. Sure way to injure him out. Him and Sander Kartum would be best as subs to come on, Sander possibly a full second half by now perhaps.
In contrast, Piper is one of few players who can play a full game and produce exactly the same quality through 90 minutes; so should only be subbed off if there is a very good reason (tactical change, injury etc). Some may not like what he does with the ball but at least he is super consistent and cannot be muscled off easily.
Mileusnic post-recovery is likely ready by now to play a longer spell. Both him and Sander Kartum should get decent time on the field. I look forward to both of them being an early sub, even just to take Eze off if he is unproductive. The big Nigerian is good (perhaps even very good by Nix standards) but not the only good player in this squad.
