but are they 3rd

 

[kiss the crest]

game plan today soak up Villa pressure and hit them on the break with pace Grealish and McNeil to supply the clown up front

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

On this occasion I don't mind McNeil over Dibling. McNeil will get back more and he may not have the pace but I think defensively he offers more than Dibling

 

[hallamblue]

Why start Patterson but no Dibling? They linked up well together.

Because Dibling is under 23, far better to have McNeil being terrible again.

I'm not sure he does anymore

Yer Mcneils fake pressing should help Patterson a lot

….its more about Dibling being a ball watcher and Patterson struggling to mark his winger.

A few years ago we played at Leeds and McNeil played ahead of Patterson and they defended really well as a pair. We got a well earned draw that night, maybe Patterson’s best game for us.

As much as posters don’t like it, McNeil offers more than Dibling at this point in time, especially factoring in his set piece delivery. Dibling from the bench is an option.

Tim
Charly
KDH
Ndiaye
Gana
Branthwaite
Keane

Still missing btw, before people cry about the empty bench. How could we have all those out + a strong bench? Squad would have 40 players.

it’s boring that everyone wants to egnore this fact and just call for moyes to go!

 

[rigg]

Chinese water torture this club.

 

[blue to the bone]

They also have players at AFCON

What players are there now ?

 

[Old Blue 2]

8 subs that includes 2 goalkeepers really is pitiful and embarrassing for a Premier League club that spent 100 odd million just a few months ago.

2 at AFCON; Keane suspended; Branthwaite, KD-H, Tim, still injured.

Give yer head a wobble...

You won't win Matty. All they want is chaos. They need to go support a different shiny team.
