I'm not

It makes us less likely to get a result

Lampard said hes not feeling great, I cant see how a below par Gordon helps.

We do lose that pace on both flanks especially on the break. But Gordon last few games looked of it so maybe do him good being on the bench.

Thats Saint side is awful bar Adams, JWP & Armstrong.

Have to be getting 3 points today by hook or by crook !!

Can’t believe he’s starting McNeill. He should just admit he made a mistake in signing this bozo and move on.

Cmon, let’s let it play out first.

If he can manage 20 minutes and it's still a draw that's a good impact sub to have.

Bench barely has any attacking threat if it's Rondon and McNeill as options. You're talking two premier league goals in last 12 months there.

Thought we'd signed another Brazilian with a crap name now we've let Bernard and Allan go.

Get John on

 

[JohnRoss23]

Option A: Play Gordon when he isn’t 100% and not well. Complain for playing him when he isn’t well.

Option B: Bench Gordon when he isn’t 100% and not well. Complain for not playing him anyways.

Arse covering?

For what? Most people are glad Gordon isnt playing.

Most playing not wanting our best player to play is crazy.

 

[jazzy]

Unless Gordon is suffering from his England exertions I don't get the inclusion of McNeil ahead of him.

I hope it's not to slap him down after his transfer comments.

They're a very random team. Were awful at Villa and Wolves yet deservedly beat Chelsea in last home game.

That ketchup guy at the back came on for Germany midweek so he's an up and coming CB. I also think Walkers Peters is a pretty good RB. They've made six changes from last game so they'll come out flying first 20 minutes so that's the key, keep them out first half and then crowd will start getting frustrated.

 

[BluePaul86]

No Gordon, no Party.

BREAKING NEWS: Gordon isn't playing due to illness and has feck all to do with being dropped.

Thank you.

 

[Paul Rideout]

When we get to FT some of the naysayers on here will hopefully look silly

Thank you.

Yet on the bench...shows how bad we are in relation to squad depth in the attacking third.
