I’m so pleased we spent 40 million on Sarr. 2 managers in a row don’t think he’s worthy of a starting spot. #bestscoutingnetwork.
I've got a tiiiiiiny feeling Pepe, Aubameyang & Ozi might rip us a new one but way more confident than I would've been if Lacazette was fit. I think he's actually a better player than Aubameyang. Ah well let's give it a shot ey never know!
Maybe he wants to see if the old brigade can learn his new strats? Not sure why Welbeck isn't on the bench. Hope to see Sarr at some point. Get Dawson out for Mapps and Kiko for Jannmat. So what formation is that? 4 4 2?
Maybe he’s giving the current lot enough rope to hang themselves with. It’s not uncommon for a new manager to come in and not make many changes initially.
Femenia honestly must have some dirt on Gino. He's probably the worst right back in the league but is seemingly untouchable.
Thank god we're 4231 We'll know if anything has changed if in the first 10 minutes our full backs are caught out up the pitch Sarr for Hughes and I'd be happyer Thought Quishka would go with a midfield 3 of Caps Doucs and Clevs - its nice and s0lid, just his thing.
I am at least encouraged that Pereyra has been dropped. For Gracia, he seemed to be like Jurado was for, er, Quique. ****. It's not going to go well is it? Come on you 'Orns.
Ah well. No matter how bad things are right now at least we know that Marco Silva and Everton aren’t doing much better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He’s instantly gone to the 4 central midfielders formation. Cleverley is such a Flores player, and to be fair the same can be said if Hughes, in that both offer work-rate over quality. I’m guessing it’ll be a 4-4-1-1 with Geri behind Gray. Hard to see how Kiko plays ahead of Janmaat, but who knows what we’re going to see today. If Javi picked this line up, he’d be crucified, and rightly so. Quique gets a pass because it’s his first selection, and he will have a game plan in mind, but if we’re as poor as we have been recently with this exact line up, Flores is in trouble.
Scarily little in the form of striking options right now (I'm assuming Welbeck has to be injured as why would he not make the bench otherwise) I like Gray but if he's not working, where do we go?
Spaniard Kiko always going to get the nod. Hughes, the less 'risky' (defensively) option for right-mid. Is anyone really surprised? We will lose this. Hopefully we get the luck we deserve after the last time we played them, as everything balances...oh forget it.
Dunno how people are shocked about Dawson still starting - with Cathcart out injured who else was going to play?! No striker on the bench is a bit odd though.
Blimey. Dim gobaith i ni heddiw. We just need to hope that Key K has manipulated the mindset of his players. I'm going for a 0-4....dim gobaith.
Santa Florist out, what a **** lineup. Our record signing on the bench again. Where is the pace for the counter? The dog is hoping we are two down come 5pm as thats when he is usually fed. Good job reality is an illusion or else I would be geting quite depressed.
Has to be. There’s no other explanation that doesn’t end with Flores being sacked before the end of today. I’ve also just realized that we’ve got 2 right backs on the bench.
Flores has gone defence first, we knew he would. I hope Sarr is given a chance, hopefully before the game is lost. The fact that 2 managers have not started him suggests that he is some way from nailing down a starting position, and therefore the money should have been spent on the defence.
BBC text: “Troy Deeney who is out with an injury is tucking into a pre-match meal in the hospitality area”
Souness’s ignorance is astounding. It didn’t work at spurs for Capoue because intricate passing doesn’t suit him, he’s just an ‘up and downer’ Also couldn’t remember his name and just said ‘the other fella’
That dinosaur Souness talking about us like we are cavemen. “The fact is intricate passing doesn’t suit them so they need to be dynamic”. “Deeney is an old fashioned battering ram” It’s clear he hasn’t watched us at all over the last 24 months. He is stealing a living with this level of incompetence. Even armchair fans in the pub knows far more than him. He is simply an embarrassment.
