cambridgeshire canary 6,691 Posted September 17, 2020 Keep in mind I said preferred and not what you think will be the lineup, hence Vrancic- I am well aware there is more chance of Farke sticking Godfrey in midfield than him starting Vrancic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Bates 9 Posted September 17, 2020 The same starting line up as Huddersfield bar Buendia replacing Dowell on the right:  Krul Arrons Zimmerman Godfrey Quintilla Skipp McLean Buendia Cantwell Hernandez Pukki 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted September 17, 2020 I think the above is what we will see. maybe dowell staying in and Todd on the bench. I would prefer to see Sorensen or Tettey start ahead of McClean but that won't happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canarywary 104 Posted September 17, 2020 If we only have Buendia for the next couple of weeks then I definitely want to make the most of him, he's got to start for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Green Army 237 Posted September 17, 2020 I think Buendia will be on the bench unfortunately. Hope I’m proved wrong. Farke will most likely go with the same side that beat Huddersfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted September 17, 2020 A lot depends on Emi's fitness, he picked up a strain in pre-season if I remember correctly and Farke isn't one for throwing players back in quickly. I imagine it will be the same starting XI from Huddersfield (injuries permitting) but Buendia will get an appearance from the bench at some point. If he is fully fit and raring to go, then possibly a start in place of Dowell. No reason to drop anyone from the Huddersfield game as everyone was pretty okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted September 17, 2020 If Buendia is fit and still a Norwich player, he starts. Simple as. Comes in for Dowell if fit, if not fit then same starting 11, no changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,651 Posted September 17, 2020 I don’t quite see why we’d play Vrancic when he’s probably behind several others.  If we were to make a change in front of the defence it’s more likely that it would be Sorensen or Tettey coming in, surely.  I’d probably not start Emi, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midlands Yellow 3,970 Posted September 17, 2020 It’s a home game we expect to win, play the strongest attacking team which has to include Buendia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,935 Posted September 17, 2020 Didn't Farke say he saw Vrancic as more of a number 10? If so, why the dickens would you stick him in defensive midfield? I'd probably go with this line-up. GK: Tim KRUL RB: Max AARONS RCB: Christoph ZIMMERMANN LCB: Ben GODFREY LB: Xavi QUINTILLA DCM: Oliver SKIPP DCM: Kenny MCLEAN RAM: Emi BUENDIA CAM: Kieran DOWELL LAM: Todd CANTWELL CF: Teemu PUKKI Subs: McGovern (GK), Gibson, Rupp, Hernandez, Placheta, Hernandez, Hugill. I really want to see Buendia in the hole though. If he's in the hole, then one of our speedsters can take the left flank, and I'd like Rupp on the right then as he's defensively much better, and Aarons can surge from deep to greater effect.

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 17, 2020 as much as I like Vrancic, this isn't the game for him. Prestons 2 best players are their 2 physical centre mids, Alan Browne and Ben Pearson. Gotta be skipp and McClean in there with Cantwell and Buendia helping to get stuck in as well. Aarons and Hernandez can kill them from out wide then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terminally Yellow 2,448 Posted September 17, 2020 *rolls eyes at the mentioning of Vrancic again* You don't change a winning team. Buendia on the bench would be my only change unless injuries prevent it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary dwarf 221 Posted September 17, 2020 Farke does not like changing a winning team , plus is buendia 100 percent fit so I think it will be unchanged , with buendia coming on in the second half.😃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted September 17, 2020 Zimmermann played too soon at West Ham soon crocked by Haller. What a choker that proved to be. A Farke bringing player back too soon yes he does do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,745 Posted September 17, 2020 Buendia has to come in and then its a question of keeping players sweet..if Farke drops Cantwell in favour of Dowell, the story that would create and the potential fallout in possibly losing him in October makes me wonder if he'll go for the easier option to drop Dowell. The easier option still is to drop hernandez and keep them both happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unique 435 Posted September 17, 2020 Hernandez has played well since returning from injury and has more often or not looked our most threatening option. No way does he deserve not to start. A ‘ 75% fit ‘ Buendia is all that is needed for his return to the side. Play him and placate him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
