Head says 1-1 but another body part tells says 1-2

Seeing as your head is the one that tells you Lamela is s***e I wouldn't worry too much about that 1-1 prediction.

Very good.

Actually, very, very good team.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Does Poch not rate Lamela as much as we all do?

We suffer so much when he isn't on the pitch.

 

[thebenjamin]

Missing Rose, Dier, Dembele, Kane to injury. Good test of squad depth.

 

[Danners9]

If there was any doubt over Dier and Dembele, it's best that they don't play.

Big game Tuesday. And Sissoko running in behind on counter away from home is basically why we bought him.

Alli can't play there poch. Only selection mistake today. Still a good team, let's go!

It's all about managing the Gills-Boro-CSKA-City sequence of games. We'll see Lamela start the next two, I'm pretty certain. Eriksen we can expect to miss one of them. They can't (physically) play all of them.

He's got CCV or wimmer in mind for DM sub.

Relatively happy with that considering our upcoming fixtures too.

With Dier and more importantly Dembele not being rushed, it was always likely to be Wanyama and Alli in the centre albeit Winks will hopefully be putting his name forward into serious reckoning as the season progresses.

Sissoko, Eriksen, Son behind Janssen, yea that makes sense to me.

No doubt Lamela will come on some point but hopefully GKN will make a decent cameo appearance too - and not hopefully because we are chasing the game.

 

[hughy]

That is one weak bench attacking wise, with the exception of Lamela. Hoping the starting 11 can get the match wrapped up.

 

[bubble07]

Yep happy with the like up

Rose Dier Dembele Lamela will start Tuesday

FROZEN

OUT

...on the streets, abandoned, like an urchin. Promised the world; presented with ashes. With tears and no pitty.

PROBLEMS BEHIND THE SCENES.

 

[StevePil]

I have a serious worry over today and hope I am wrong, missing 4 of our key 11 why does this always happen to us the bench is very weak if we need options, I hope I am wrong but have a bad feeling

 

[hughy]

When did rose get injured.

When did dier get injured

I would love us to be in a position to see Winks, Nkoudou and Lamela coming on towards the end.
