Visionary team selection from Roberto there, crowd the midfield and hit them on the break.

Guess the game will show us if his choice was the right one or not mate, he's got some things right and others wrong throughout his tenure, this will be either a master-stroke or a really bad decision

Of course but don't be so broad with your strokes. Masterful or crap? Those are the two choices?

I actually believe this is a genius tactic, unlike our, let's put it that way, washed out 4231. Besic to cover Hazard which he has already shown he is capable of, Barry to help defense (mainly Galloway and Jags), forward three already shown what they can do and I really do believe Kone is in some form right now. The way the game goes probably depends on two guys: Stones and McCarthy. If they manage to have an all-around good game, then we should not worry that much.

And FFS guys, let's just for once be positive... at least before games.

Imagine being in the battle of the Somme and looking across at the next fella wearing a grand old team scarf ffs..

your both gonna die in that situation anyways mate so a bit daft a statement

Keeping quiet here, waiting to see what lessons RM learnt from the City game to tackle Chelsea. If not selecting wings why have we so many on our books?

with this extreme a tactical selection mate it will be one or the other

Would hate to have to rely on some of our fans in a battle, they're beaten even before it starts.

just this,didn't we get dicked last year 6-3, of course we need to box cleverer, it's how you use your subs as a game goes on,trust in the manager lids will you ???.

we got battered last season mate as we gave them a two goal start with comedy defending the first 5 minutes, could play 10 cb's and that still would have happened, after that we where wide open trying to chase a lost cause
