Isn't it just 4-2-3-1 as normal with Coleman pushed up the park?

The more excuses people make for Barkley the bigger the hype will get, if he plays poor he plays poor, just because you're on the left wing doesn't mean you can't beat a man or pick a difficult pass out.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Soak it all up and hit them on the counter-attack.

So.....Palace take a point at Spurs and Baggies keep a clean sheet against Hull.

Do one, Everton.

I'm going with the notion that its 3-4-3 with Hibbert as a CB and Baines/Coleman further up the pitch where they can be more effective. It is indeed a positive formation if that's the case, especially away to the champions.

Its already been suggested, but we have nothing to lose today. In theory, its a game we SHOULD be losing, as much as its wrong to say that.

Coleman on the right wing according to Sky

Not many are making excuses for Barkley. We are pretty much all in agreement that he has been awful since his return.

Form is just temporary though.

Chelsea, arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool all dropped points

Coleman on the right wing according to Sky

Probably playing left back then.

Happy hes tried something diff. Coleman will make us alot tighter as a unit when we dont have the ball. Think a 5 across back when defending to cover usual mistakes!!!!
Chance today to catch these on the break with kompany out.

Mangala hasn't been great so far and Demichelis is SLOW.

Could do well on the counter tbf, with Mirallas and Coleman

The only way I can see us winning this is if we blow them away and win 2 or 3 nil with a high tempo and score a couple early, because if both sides score and it's a free flowing game, they'll score four for every two we do.

Just can't see a win, but the Premier League is a weird beast so you never know.

 

[Khalekan]

I quite like the idea of Seamus wide right and Hibbo standing guard behind him.

 

[kenada_blue]

Chelsea, arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool all dropped points

Stoke didn't though.

And Villa still to play.

I hate bananas. THANKS IJJY.
