David Unsworth - Temporary Manager

[Prevenger17]

I'm not saying we should appoint someone full time today. I'm saying it'd be harsh on Unsworth winning, for example 3 out of 4, then being sent back to u23's. But, from the way he talked today, he looked like he was under the impression that if he does that, then he gets the job full time. That for me is risky.

He might well be just flexing his muscles, it's not good for an interim manager to look like an interim manager. He's a candidate, he's confident, let's watch...

Here are a couple of guesses regarding tomorrow.

 

[Jib in lad]

Spoke very well there.

 

[orly]

Make him captain!!

Excellent shout - can well see that happening.

A wonderful riposte to all the anti-Everton snakes.

I think we will see the 2nd option (the right one, in more ways than one )

I think so too, but I know he likes to play with 2 strikers when possible. But away to Chelsea the 2nd option may be a bit more balanced.

Love both to be honest, Mirallas should start, he did well enough recently to get a start.

Option number two I reckon, with Unsworth reminding the side that they'll have an extra yard of pace all over the pitch as they won't have to deal with the pull of gravity emanating from Koeman's head on the touchline.

I could see him on the left instead of Lookman, simply because Lookman has been in witness protection for the better part of a month.

Supposedly Vlasic is carrying a knock that he picked up Sunday, so won't be risked.

If true, then:

Any lineup with width and we'll do fine.

Mirallas, lookman and vlasic, best option we have at the moment.

Martina and klassen must be drop.

Siggy still deserve the chance to prove himself as a number 10, either him or Rooney.

I can't wait for the game, and I genuinely believe we can win.

Look at our attacking threat up the right with Kenny, Davies, and Vlasic/Siggy/Mirallas or Lookman.

DCL was brought in
Galloway too
Browning
Niasse
You've got Besic playing a few games too
Henen, key at that level, brought in
Lookman played a couple of times.

Didn't Niasse score something silly like 8 goals in 5 or something? Which sadly shows the standard up a bit.

Ours is one of the best squads in the division. It was a great achievement, but it isn't a massive shock. Ours is well-funded and often has players who have played at a higher level in it.

DCL - 9 games
Galloway - 2 games
Browning - 5 games
Niasse - 5 games
Besic - 3 games
Henen - 12 games
Lookman - 1 game

I wouldn't say we did a Leicester but I also wouldn't say it wasn't a shock to beat the likes of City with far larger resources and - arguably - talent than us. Please don't cite things like Niasse playing European football as the reason we won the PL2.
