Slaven Bilic is set to name a very strong team as he bids to avoid any slip ups in Romania tomorrow night (Thurs).
The manager has already made it clear that he will be taking the Europa Cup very seriously and has backed that up by flying out for the first leg with a very powerful squad.
Only Dimi Payet and new signing Arthur Masuaku were left in London from the squad that took part in the match against Chelsea on Monday evening.
Slav is on a revenge mission over Astra Girgiu who knocked us out of the competition last season.
ClaretandHugh has been told within the last few minutes that the manager has taken as stromg a squad as he can raise as he bids for a morale boosting victory following defeat in our first Premier League game of the season.
However, with Masuaku unavailable the question again arises how he will solve his back four issues and whether he will persist with his controversial decision to use Michael Antonio at right back and playing Sam Byram on the left side.
Effectively that means he has two players out of position!
Hi Hugh, Romania is spelled with an o not a u, I hope Slav uses Antonio as a winger he has enough options he could use Oggy or Reid as a left back or alternatively Burke as a right back. They are a solid team as we know from last year hopefully we can get a positive result and qualify for the group stages.
Not for old timers,it was U when I was at school as well lol
it was a U for me too. Well done Hugh for keep tradition alive.

Ayew’s certainly been keeping tradition alive as well!
