Can Armstrong play? If so, lump on first GS

Can Armstrong play? If so, lump on first GS

His one and only goal of the season would be a decent bet.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Could get ugly if we lose this.

Like others, I won't be able to watch it anyway.

 

[hippopotamus]

48th.

 

[Lord Buckethead]

Booooo!

Bulbous Benny and the Kopite Kool-Aid Brigade!

BOOOO!

 

[brigadier]

I'm going to be super positive, I will definitely get past the turnstiles before half time.

 

[Johnnytotal]

2-1 townsend x2

 

[dutchblue54]

doubt very much Gbamin will start with hin injury past, seems it will be Allan and Doucoure based on pre season if we play 4-2-3-1.
Up front will be the most interesting:

DCL will start if fit
I expect Townsend and Gray too.
I don't expect Kean to start, only if both DCL and Richarlison are deemed not fit to play 90minutes.
Choice between James and Richarlison for the final spot: choice between who do Benitez rate and fitness

 

[nsno-chris]

Does Che Adams still play for this lot, because if he does he’s defo scoring

either first goal or the winner

 

[granter79]

3 1 to us. James with a free kick and runs to the Park End only for none of the aul lads to get out of their seats. He will then leave

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Genuinely think we'll get beat.
The Ings thing might've unsettled soton, but they probably knew a while ago he was leaving.
Turmoil at this club is laughable.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Two poor sides, draw written all over this. Both will be too concerned about losing to go out and win the game.

 

[Jeff Jones]

Here we go, here we go, here we go. Really looking forward to this season under Råfa (more than I was with Carlo Ancelotti in charge) and think it will be a real mixed bag of a ride. Strap yourselves in, the fun is about to begin. COYB!

Actually, that's not a bad looking side. And I thought Gray and Townsend were OK most of the time at Leicester and Spurs.

There, I'm feeling happier about this new season now.

3 points in the bag for The Benitez Boys and onwards to Leeds.

Yeah but if it's a decent side on paper, Benitez will not pick that side. He'll put in Gray and oh goddd I'm dying inside.
