Derby injury list. both sides.

That is because Lukaku couldn't win a header if he spent all day trying, when it comes down to it Naismith wins more headers. It is clearly something he needs to work on with Big Dunc an dEto'o at hand it should be priority.

You know what I was sat off with me mate watching the palace game and he said to me "do you remember when you used to get a set pieces and teams would be briking it?" and he's right we used to be a real threat from set pieces now we never score from a corner and we hardly ever score a freekick unless it's a shot(apart from Barry to Coleman the other week like).

If they play Coutinho, Sterling and Sturridge we all know we're going to get absolutely mullered by their pace and trickery, ultimately leaking three or four goals.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I think Pienaar and Coleman will both start for us.

Coleman should def be starting if he 'only' had a bit of concussion a full week ago...

More than 3 or 4 lad.

 

[Blue 1]

All these rubbish puns are making me wish we still had the Binman in goal.

I think this is fair to say. If only one of them makes the first XI and Coleman and Pienaar both start I might start thinking we can win this.

as it is we're in danger of getting into a relegation scrap

Wonder if we could get Landfill Donovan back again for it?

 

[sharkey1001]

is that like a rubbish version of Duncan Ferguson

Bin Dunc to come on and slam home a header and then run into the Kop and detonate his suicide-vest!

 

[meagher94]

Will be a huge boost if he doesn't start, especially if Balotelli decides to be his usual useless self. Sterling will be their only real threat who played 120 minutes the other night.

We all know Balotelli will have his one great game against us though.

 

[deipnosophist]

I want Pienaar back in the starting XI immediately.

^^ this.
butters mate, you are a man who is on top of all this football malarkey; a man who sorts footballing wheat from chaff.

 

[James Patrick]

He's probably sitting in an oxygen tank as we speak planning his ridiculous bendy arms celebration.

 

[TheFinnFan]

I think Sturridge will play. They'll keep him at the background for now and will run the story sat. morning as a shock treatment

He has been in training, here is some footage:

We do need Pienaar back, but we must be aware that his usual derby form is either to disappear or get sent off.
