Same as Gaffer above, except for dropping Gylfi - you cant go 17 minutes of a derby and not touch the ball, he's been awful lately.

Lossl; Delph/Sidibe/Baines/Beni/Gordon.

 

[CairnsToffee]

This is a nonsense stat.

Other games will be two shots no goals etc.

They were all very good shots and I am not sure if any keeper would have done any better.

Standard Ev looking for reason to criticise though

Take it you don’t watch the games much then?

Pickfords positional play is woeful at present, should have done better with three out of the five goals, in my opinion

 

[Abraders]

Can't see us getting anything from this unfortunately. I think Chelsea are playing some good stuff at the minute.

 

[Eggs]

....Mina a doubt, it’ll be a big blow if he’s missing. Coleman and Delph still unfit.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Baines at right back, I can see it now

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

My prediction is:

- Change in formation. I’m seeing a 4-4-2 diamond with Schneiderlin being horribly exposed as the anchor

- The obligatory interim boss academy product start - Gibson maybe?

- Despite this we’ll play well and succumb to a 70+ minute goal, leading to the usual “if they play like that every week they’ll be fine” shouts

- Next game we’ll do the same and lose 7-0

Predicted lineup:

Pickford

Digne
Gibson
Mina
Holgate

Schneiderlin
Iwobi
Bernard
Sigurdsson

Richarlison
Kean

Dunc said he's confident he will play.

Davies can gtf. Our choices for midfield are crap, but his two consecutive calamities puts him well away from my preferred 11. Most importantly is to have Kean and Richarlison up top.

Early kick off Saturday after a Wednesday game doesn't sound right to me.

Playing Gylfi is playing with 10 men. Not including Schneiderlin bringing us down to a solid 9.

Davies has to play for me as you can at least notice that he's on the pitch

 

[Berenger]

Don't think so. Tell it as it is and we let our football do the talking.

This massive cloud of doom has been lifted, and win or lose, we are going to enjoy supporting this team again.

And those arrogant chops across the park (yes Mane the diver and Trent the Bitch, I'm looking at you) better watch out when the FA Cup rolls around AND when they come to GP because revenge is going to be oh so sweet.

I genuinely wish I could control my brain enough to join you in being this deluded.

 

[Uncle Vitor]

I think we’ll win.

 

[andy4efc]

0-3.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

1-1 all over it.
