Starting XI v. Shakhtar

[heatwave]

The boys are travelling tomorrow to Italy and they will be facing Shakhtar this Saturday.
With the likes of Austin and Green scheduled to join the trip, our only absence should be Sandro.

Based on that, what would be your preferred formation and your starting XI for that game?

[Rangers77]

Shouldn't be playing Austin, Fer or Phillips unless and until it's clear that they're staying.

Mccarthy
Furlong onuoha caulker yun
Luongo gladwin faurlin
Mackie jet hoilett

Harriman, fer, phillips, austin, petrasso, donaldson, green on at half time.

Seriously? That team would be slaughtered unless Shaktar played reserves against QPR.

Prohouly will probably go as well as been training with the 1st team.

[maidstone_hoop]

It's all about fitness and interpreting the players slowly. Result is irrelevant.

Players like faurlin, diakate need to be looked at. Polter, gladwin, luongo, JET all give a chance plus petrasso, doughty, harriman ect all given chance.

These are the games to experiment and gain fitness. Don't expect the first 11 to be ramseys first choice. Will be a mixture of experience, youth and new players.

Highly doubt we will see what ramseys deems are first 11 until the 3rd or 4th game.

[MattyRangers]

Wouldn't mind seeing something like our likely starting 11 next year to be honest, maybe:

McCarthy
Furlong Nedum Caulker Yun
Faulin Henry
Gladwin Luongo Mackie
JET
