the 7th place trophy is at stake here and he picks jags and barry over holgate and gana gueye. i hope koeman knows what he's at because a win today and 7th is ours i tell you.

where are the 3 DM's? I only see two. We don't really need two tbh, but there we go. Thought mccarthy should be starting ahead of barry and think it's harsh to drop mori after one bad performance against a very good attack. Jagielka has looked lost against some poor ones.

If Holgate can get banished after one iffy half then Funes Mori can definitely go after a whole 90

I agree though, I wouldn't have picked Jags, but I've no problem with Funes Mori getting dropped

 

[Niapper]

Seems that koeman favours 4-3-3 a lot, played it often at Southampton

 

[tsubaki]

Got badly skinned all game against Stoke, besides that though nothing majorly wrong in the other games - Koeman doesnt seem to want to play 3 at the back though unless its to arrest a poor run of form which is sad to see

Getting badly skinned all game vs Stoke, vs getting badly skinned all game vs Hull

Yerrrrsss in a bit Mori you greasy-haired weapon.

Come on Jags, please reclaim your place.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Aye mate, not arguing that all 4 of our cb's at times thisseason have had shockers, holgate for me anyway has been the least culpable when played though (plus williams plays miles better in a back 3), absolutely no idea what we are gonna play today though, barry with jagielka and williams screams out we are gonna sit super deep though, which against these would be a massive worry

 

[Jreverton1]

Not too much to ask for, is it?

Apparently it is...

 

[Amw79]

Mmm. Have been a big defender of Koeman, but setting himself up for harsh criticism if we don't win this one.

Can see why Mori dropped, but as bad as he was last game, he's still probably our best header of the ball, which will be be important at set pieces today.

Why Barry instead of Gana - no idea.

Edit: and McCarthy injured again, natch.

 

[ToffeeSwiss]

Happy to see Mirallas back in the starting 11. But why would you start Barry again after his terrible performance against Tottenham?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Tbf Gana was really poor last week. BUT WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU KOEMAN

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Gana could be used as a sub I guess

Bring him on at the hour mark as Barry tires
