Fuck I don't know about that starting XI.

No Alfie or Hagi starting feels a bit worrying and Davis needs to find his last season form. 

We will soon find out. I guess.

Ill try not be negative but wtf is with this lineup?!

If we were bristling with confidence etc I could just about understand it but we look devoid of confidence and this chopping and changing isn't helping this looks pretty much like a roll of the dice, he needs to start picking a settled team imo if we are going to see some form of improvement from them.

If it works - he is a tactical genius if we fall flat on our face then he really needs to give some proper answers in terms of wtf his plans are with this group of players. I'm baffled.

Last roll of the dice wtf man  

We're top of the league ffs

[Essandoh 21,217]

Complete overreaction to a strong starting line up.

People perplexed by new signings starting games they’re expected to be at a standard to play…

While a cunt for tonight, that's actually quite a relief if true.

Gerrard just said he got a knock, and they don't want to risk him due to Sunday.

[HG5 11,134]

Knock for Goldson - source SG.

[soulboy 2,518]

Looks like all VIP and front row sites have been taken down only hes goal working

Just a thought after issues at CH. I wonder if we’ll go for John Souttar on a pre contract in January.

[real boydie9 17,675]

Seems Stevie sees the game against Hibs more important than this one, or could it turn out to be a masterplan ☺ 🔴⚪🔵🇬🇧

He been doing well this year?

Know we were linked with him before and was highly thought of for a while. He is injury prone as fuck though, so not sure he is what we need in an injury crisis.

Ryan Jack on way back so looking for a replacement for him in treatment room.

sunday is a far more important game than this  sure we want to win but to be honest it is very unlikely we would get any further than last 16

Ridiculous logic.

We wouldn't ever make it out the CL group stages either so would you rest players in those games as well?

He’s nowhere near good enough for Rangers

Winning the league guarantees £40 million pound.

Whatever then happens in CL is a bonus.

He does have injury issues and hasn't always looked convincing. I wouldn't see him as being better than Katic.

I’m quite looking forward to seeing how it does. Big opportunity for Sakala and Bacuna. 

[ElBufalo20 7,906]

Apart from maybe Sakala in for Morelos not really getting this bizarre starting 11 vibe.

Aribo plays in the front 3 most European games anyway.

Controversial starting line up. Implies we are not taking the EL as seriously this year - there is some common sense in that given the value of the CL money for league this year. 

What’s controversial with it?

[Malkytfp1 18,600]

See some of the pish in here like "no geeing the competition the respect it deserves" and "last role of the dice". Fucking tarrier words.

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,509]

Tell you what though, im glad we have a decent sized squad this year.

Look across to the dump in the east end and you can see the real danger in trying to compete over several competitions with a threadbare squad.

They literally have no options. The players they have will just have to play every fucking game.

Chasing the game? Lets bring on Bitton or Soro.

That is just going to breed even more injuries while these players burn out.

We might have some doubts over some of our squad options, but we are undoubtedly stronger for having them.

We could be losing Goldson and Balogun at end of season and hopefully we lose Jack Simpson somewhere.

we’re likely to need 2 Centre halves in summer and tbh i don’t think Gerrard rates Katic.

I fancy Bacuna to hit a screamer and open his account for us today.

[Siam69 26,989]

Proper kit tonight, we're gonna cruise this

I quite like the team. Fancy us to get something. Big chance for a few to stake a claim.
