Have to say I do feel for Lennon having to select a team for Thursday regardless who he picks someone will be out of position, it really is a shocking state of affairs to have arrived at this outcome, just can't but believe lawwell is prepared to throw Lennon under a bus, losing this tie and going out and then going to grumble dome with this defence is a disaster waiting to happen, one from which Lennon cannot recover if beat.

Gordon
Elhamd
Jullien
Ajer
Boli
McGregor
Brown
Christie
Forrest
Sinclair
Eduardo.

No one needs to be played out of position and Lennon threw himself under the bus with his amateurish tactics, team selection and game management.

It would really would be a statement if a fully fit Jullian doesn't get picked before Ajar and Jozo who are both carrying knocks. The same could be said if Boli doesn't start.
Although we paid £10m for the pair, if they show in training that they are poor players and a waste of money, then we can't play them, they are not going to turn into good players overnight.

It's Lennon that's created this disaster.

We don't need to play anyone out of position, if our left back is a weak link then in my view we would still be better playing him there than weakening 2 positions which happened when we played McGregor there against Cluj.
In the previous matches we played Exciting attacking football when we played players in their correct positions, it's only since Lennon started tinkering that things have gone wrong.

so lenny is to blame for the club down sizeing kev haha.
20 Aug 2019 19:42:26
Think Lawell creates this disaster Kev, by putting in lennon in the first place without and due diligence . You could tell that by the amount of people that were unhappy with the job going to him in the first place. Both are accountable in my eyes.

It's Lennon's fault his team selection man management and lack of tactics that's to blame Ultimately the board have to take a large part of the blame for employing him in the first place and for not addressing the problem when it became clear that he is way out of his depth I am sure there is a lot of good managers out there that would jump at the chance to manage our club PL has got a list in his desk I hope he opens the drawer sooner than later.

I’d take on brown to see game out if we go ahead and tighten the centre mid area
Griffiths and Sinclair to come on to get goals if need be.
