striker

I just hope he's good in the air. We need that in the back.

I think its worth a shot, but the fear is if we drop from 5 mids to 4 we will get run over in midfield by attacking sides. In my opinion if we go to 4 mids we would need to keep Romeu out there for defense, Davis because he is well-rounded, and then two wide guys who are better attackers like Redmond/Tadic/Boufal/JWP. I would try a 4-4-1-1 personally and see what happens. We could have Romeu and Davis in the middle, with two of Redmond/JWP/Tadic/Boufal outside. The theory is by dropping Gabbi a little, who has good pace, this would allow Davis to help out more defensively. Austin needs to be upfront because he's only good 30 yards and in.

Great direct kick by Chelsea there

That remains to be seen

Ha ha. Its time is coming soon, then all us fantasists will be proven correct! The 4-4-2 with Gabbi and Austin upfront, you watch. The goals will start flying in the net then, you'll need an abacus to keep up.

Right. I think the players who haven't featured at all (or much) should play. Gallagher needs time with Long up there too. Also guys like Clasie, Hojbjerg, Targett, Bednarek, etc. all need time.

I think we play a lot of players McCarthy Pied Bednarek Gardos McQueen Targett Hojbjerg Long Boufal Clasie Gallagher

My post from the other thread: Whew- I like our forwards, with Gabbi and Austin (plus Long in case of injury,etc.) - I'd still like to see us give Austin and Gabbi a shot together in a std 4-4-2 though. I like our mids - we have lots of options and are very deep now Like Bertrand and Cedric Don't like our cb's - something needs to happen. Maybe Hoedt will help this. Obviously VVD would.

Lee Mason - MOM for me

can we hold on for 30 seconds?

Austin is so good at anything finishing

not Tadic

Long ahead of Boufal?

Unbelievable. Our CB's need help.

Boy we've done nothing offensively this half

You called it, here he comes.

Cedric with a rugby kick

Why does he think Forster should do better with that? That was a tough save, not sure he could control the rebound.

Ugh

Time to work on our goal differential.

Why Tadic? WH is losing their sh*t out there.

This ref will be looking to send off one of our guys next, just watch, to even it up.

Ha ha ha ha ha

Looks more like a rugby match
