Paulie Walnuts 1,061 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Don’t really get the team selection. Where’s the width and pace. Had a feeling this was the game Morelos was gonna finally score against them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I can actually see the sense in the team, he’s going to win the midfield. Personally Would've liked Morelos but could be a smart play. Can see Gerrard doing do as Defoe is lethal but also takes away the tims plan to noise up Morelos.

bornabear 6,201 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Too much negativity on here, Defoe is better with the ball at his feet. Long high crosses could be a no no as the taller defender tramps could clear them every time. Only high crosses with our big boys in at free kicks and corners. I can see Aribo and Defoe scoring today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblueal 2,117 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 It's a solid team. I'm disappointed not to see El Buffalo in the team and I'll bet that lot are glad he's not in from the start. That's said, we will be more physical than them and I can see us overrunning that shite backline through the middle. 3-1 to the Famous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siam69 26,864 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Defoe had a great game against them last time out. I also have no doubt some pace and Alfie will be on later on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're gonna cut right through them centrally!! Think if Ojo had been 100% fit and hadn't played on Thursday it might have been different tbh but I just had a feeling he'd see how weak they are centrally and try to exploit it.

Smile 26,600 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I would say sub early(60mins) give the subs a chance to do more damage as hopefully we will be coasting by the time the subs are due on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Blues 497 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Usual RM negative shite. We pay SG a bunch of money to win us trophies but we have guys on here who know better AND would be considerably cheaper. If you are a poor fullback in your first OF game, you are expecting a Jones or Ojo to be running at you, then, 1 hour before kick-off you find out they're not playing. Fuck, what do I do now? An hour into the game they change it again and Jones is on running at you and you're already knackered. But hey ho we know best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Expected Defoe to start wi Mo coming on about 70 mins. Win the MF and we win this. Wonder how many dives Christie throws in today,hope Madden is wise to him. WATP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beararse 6,366 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I know Arfield plays for Canada, Kamara for Finland and Aribo is in the Nigerian squad but they are all essentially British and have played all their senior football in the UK With that in mind Katic is essentially the only non British player in that starting 11, and he’s perfectly suited to the British game.

If you are said full back chances are you get an easy 60 minutes until Jones comes on Blind faith in managers is a dangerous game no matter how highly we think of Stevie. Look at Arsenal at Liverpool last week Emery plays a narrow diamond against a team that has 4 quality wide players and presses like fuck so they’ve got no outball and they get absolutely murdered down the flanks, now Emery knows more about football than you or I but even I know that’s stupidity This may be a genius move today but it looks like an unnecessary risk given we are favourites on merit and should be imposing our game on them, I fear with this formation they’ll get the time on the ball that they want/need Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearInTheToon 1,577 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 When I saw the line up initially, I was well disappointed. Thought it looked like we were playing for a draw. Now though, I think (and hope!) SG, Beale etc might’ve just played a blinder... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
