It seems as if we have an injury free squad for yet another match. Will Silva select his best eleven to strt against bottom of the table Shef.U. or will "rtaation" come into his thinking.
I would favour the strongest starting eleven with substitutions on the hour mark if all is going well.
Leno
Castgne Tosin Bassy Robinson
Lukic Palhinha
Periera
Iwobi Willian
Subs. Cairney, Wilson, Diop, Tete.

A false number nine is all very well but a missing number nine is when bravado turns into sheer cockiness.
+Muniz and I agree with OP

Yes well spotted, I was just thinking of that moment on 60 minutes when we should be substituting Muniz for Broja, we have to take the opportunity to take a look at this player before putting him on the number 14 bus back to the Bridge.

Perhaps if we give him the number 14 shirt he will find his own way back.

Yes but don't you need Broja to be a sub!

Same lineup as Spurs. Think this is our best lineup now that Lukic has kicked into form as he provides the best blend of attack and defense for the position. Would be great to get in control early in order to get those who had extended international minutes like Robinson, Iwobi, Lukic and Castagne early subs since we play again on Tuesday. Would bring on Tete, Ballo-Toure, Reed, Cairney and Adama. Give Wilson the day off after 210 grueling, competitive minutes.

This is the kind of game where Cairney is a maestro. I would start him over Pereira in search of setting up the vital first goal.
Same team as against spurs but what a trio of game changing players we have to bring on in Cairney, Wilson and Traore if needed.

To get the early goal we need a locksmith not a turbo-charged dynamo.
The Spurs match was, in my opinion, our undoubtedly best performance of the season. Same 11 for me all day long.

Me too. Wilson unlucky not to start, but Iwobi is best off the right wing for me.

I'd love to see us try Iwobi in the central attacking midfield role instead of Pereira with Wilson on the wing. I think Iwobi running through the centre with his aggression and pace could be a real plus and Andreas isn't in the best of form at the moment. They'd also be inter-changeable
