The site was down earlier for some reason so couldn't post anything during the Lyon game. I was surprised at how many players started from the ones that traveled to Belfast.
De Vries
Hill - Bitton - Ajer - Izzy
McGregor - Kouassi - Ntcham
Hayes - Benyu
Dembele
Subs: Hazard, Wardrop, McCart, Miller, Aitchison, Hendry, McInroy, Henderson
Not sure why but Ralston wasn't available for the game and Gamboa has been away on international duty but was forced with a possible muscle tear in his hamstring. So with Lustig having played the whole game against Linfield and him being our only fit senior RB, he was sensibly not included. So up stepped Mark Hill, a promising young player who normally plays in midfield but I've read that he has spent some time in defence as well. He's known for being a bit of a powerhouse, particularly for his size. He's not that tall, although not as small as some either but he's just been built like a brick wall even since he was about 16! He did really well today but definitely started to tire and just couldn't cope defensively for some of the goals we conceded. A few of them at least came from their left hand side. Eventually he moved in to midfield and Sam Wardrop came on to RB after one of our midfielders had gone off. Then he was eventually replaced in midfield by Regan Hendry.
