something something something head patting something.

Alan Biley. November 21 1981 ( you will be unsurprised to know that he missed).

I was at that game. I think we won the season opener with a Biley goal ( i think Kendall was playing) then drew v Leeds away then went downhill.

Sadly, I'm fully expecting to get beat tonight so anything less than that will be a bonus.

Moyes announced the line up for this 7 games sgo.

Yes, beat Birmingham at home on the opening day 3-1 and as you say, drew at Leeds. Biley scored in both games.

 

[Blue Smoke]

Moyes will take his knife for the gunfight tonight.
Start of season id have thought this was 3 points in the bank..now I'm not so sure.
We arent great at the back anymore because we do at least try to play more attacking, but without the players to score.

And the time of his subs. 60 mins change centre forwards, 80 mins bring Alcaraz on.

 

[ElGato]

I would go with

Pickers
Garner Tarky JOB Myko
Gana Rohl
Ndiyae KDH Grealo
Barry​

OR drop KDH back to play alongside Gana instead of Rohl and play Charly in the ten. However unlike a lot of folks I don't actually think we need to change much in the attack. Generally looked really threatening in all of the games that I've watched. Don't think playing Charly or Barry necessarily changes how clinical we aren't.

Either way most important place to shake it up is at the back IMHO. We've defended awfully this year and we need to find a formula and fast given that we can't get away with 'waiting for Branthwaite' much longer. Feels harsh to drop Keano but Tarky is captain and I think will play better alongside JOB.

Don't think any of that will actually happen tho so a moot point.

Who cares, we'll win this 1-2 somehow

Unless hes pissed him off and its 87

Our next game against Sunderland feels like a valuable opportunity to re-gain some positivity, but it will not be an easy fixture against a Sunderland team who look set to survive this season having had a very impressive start.

I would make some changes to the starting XI and our set-up.

Pickford

Garner - O'Brien - Tarkowski - Mykolenko

Gana Gueye - Dewsbury-Hall

Dibling - Alcaraz - Grealish

Ndiaye

Would like to see that line up but i fear Moyes would rather give up his lifetime Iron Bru subscription before putting that team out.

 

[RomanReigns]

i think i would go with this

----------------------------Pickford-------------------------------

Garner--------------O'Brien-----------Keane----------------Mykolenko

---------------------------Gueye----KDH---------------------------

Dibling-------------------------Ndiaye----------------------------Grealish

--------------------------------Barry------------------------------------

 

[blue to the bone]

Just advanced warning.
Sky will spend about an hour plus talking about the weekends games and not all about our game .
Don't be offended. It's normal .

Apparently their manager is a lovely fella and has a doctorate to boot, so woo get him - hopefully we can do a reverse of the usual time-for-Everton on them

Sunderland are defying expectations this season, but who is the manager behind their impressive Premier League start?

It would be a cool segue to go from a "Moyles" to a Bris.....
