Assuming Lustig doesn't make it tonight, who should get the nod at right back? Its a tough choice. The inexperienced Janko or the error prone Ambrose? Given we are trying to defend a lead I don't think its a night for Janko as he's looked poor positionally in the games he's played, hopefully he'll add that to his game. I guess that means I think Ambrose should start ahead of him, unfortunately. But there will be 10 other players on the park, so if we don't get through this tie it won't be due to the fault of an individual. I think we will though, 2-1 to Hoops tonight!

In that situation I'd be forced to agree and go with Effin Ambrose.
Think we'll see Lustig start though. If he's fit enough to travel and be in contention then he should be fit enough to start.

I would love to see lustig start too, but if he does, surely there's a chance he'll break down again, I honestly don't think we can risk it, think ambrose will probably start, and hopefully he'll keep it simple & concentrate for 90 mins

I would rather we started with 10 men than let ambrose anywhere near the team! Can't believe there's even a chance of this guy getting near the team for such a massive game! How many chances is this guy going to get honestly! It's like giving the other team a goal of a start when he plays!

If he's even 60%-70% fit I'd risk him. Get the game won and take him off after an hour. At 2-0 up with 30 mins to go surely Ambrose couldn't make 3 errors!

Ambrose was in the team that beat Barcelona and got through to the last 16 so he has the ability when he screws the nut. That European campaign showed the best and worst he has to offer. If he starts tonight there will never have been a better time to step up and shut us all up. It's 50/50 which Efe shows up though, unfortunately.

Lm67 if anybody is capable he is your man 😠😠😠let's hope he don't play coybig

I would put boyata to right back and mulgrew in the middle with VVD
25 Aug 2015 16:42:20
Honestly anyone wanting Mulgrew in the team is off their head, are people forgetting about his performances last year? Two penalties in one game? Ambrose hasn't even managed that yet the stick he receives is shocking. He is nowhere near as bad as is made out, I agree he isn't a RB however imo he should be 2nd choice CB alongside VVD. Boyata and Mulgrew are worse imo than Ambrose. People really need to get off the guys back Mulgrew has been more culpable in goals we've conceded than Ambrose over the years. Mulgrew, just like Stokes time is up at the club. We should be moving both on over the coming transfer windows.

To talk about playing with 10 men rather than playing Ambrose is pure shite . Ambrose like other defenders makes mistakes . The culprits for the biggest mistakes in Europe this year 2015 , has been Gordon and Virgil and we would be stupid to drop either of them . Tonight is certainly not a night to experiment with Boyata at right back
Whoever Deilia picks we need to back the team , get the good vibes going .

The way lustig pulled up last week, I'd doubt we'd get the 1st half out of him, why risk with a known substitution, and the chance of wrecking his season.
