If he does 5 at the back and no wingers again he truly doesn't learn and I hope he gets sacked by the end of the day

I'll pick you up on my way

Davo on TEF posted it mate as that team, but i'd heard half hour earlier from a good mate that was gonna be the side as well...

Didn't post it at first cos thought absolutely no way would he play that line up... then saw it pretty much confirmed by another

If we go 5 at the back, at home, against an average Arsenal side, he may as well be sacked before kick off

I think today we have to go to war. I would love to see a back 3 with Williams, who I think this game is made for. I'd probably play Sigurdson deeper and rely on the lads work rate and effort. Keep Lookman up the sleeve for the second half. Really it's win or bust for me with Koeman today.

Williams certainly isn't suited to playing against a fast and nimble front line, he'll get slaughtered

The interesting thing about the 3/5 at the back (I never know which to call it) is that we never win when we play it.

Hideous

Atleast he’s giving Kenny a chance.

We turned the season around playing it last year didn't we?

Wing backs are usually a reasonable alternative. But they need to have proper engines on them and Baines doesn't. It could work, but it's a risk. Any selection is a risk cause we are shot for confidence.

Schneiderlin injured according to Joyce,

We never do 3 at the back it's always a 5, I'd even call it a back 6 tbh, the way our defensive mid drops back into it

I’m expecting a veritable goalfest from us then. Are we playing for the draw...at home?

Exactly, Baines can't play the role so all we end up doing is being ridiculously narrow

Our best chance of scoring today may well be Pickford volleying every goalkick at their goal when the winds behind him

lol that's actually not a bad idea mate lol

Back three was always likely.

great to see Kenny in
