Need to rest some players particularly Coufal as Fredericks was injured after 15 mins last week but questions will be asked if Coufal playing or not as Johnson could play on RB and Cressie carry on left side which is the best options which is why we need another full back that can play left or right back. Bowen could be rested and Antonio can't play twice a week but Moyes could put Bowen up front in 1st half until early in 2nd half to put Antonio in.

Squad:

Areola

Johnson
Diop
Dawson
Cresswell

Kral
Noble

Vlasic
Lanzini
Masuaku

Bowen (Antonio to come 2nd half)

Hope we can strengthen our chance of knock-out rounds the earlier the better.

I think I would go with similar..Soucek,Coufal and Rice need to have a rest.

Also hope those 3 will not play 3 international games in 6 days as it is taken too much tolls. At least West Ham away to Everton will be on Sunday 17th October a day later so that our players can have extra day to recuperate.

There are only 2 games..Hopefully Southgate will only play him in one of them.

Trouble is,the Czechs ALWAYS play the same XI,even if it's a bloody friendly.

More worrying for me is that Jamaica have 3 games in that period.Worst decision Antonio has EVER made..He would have been in the England squad this time round too.

Then give some of the youngsters some game time.

I think he is fine. If anyone needs a restnit is Coufal. He was not going to play last week but Frederocks getting injured forced his hand.
