What does edozie have to do to get a start ? He’s looked superb in all his cameos to me looks easily our best creative player and a real livewire..

also wouldn’t mind seeing Mara over AA to be honest.. at least he showed some really good glimpses like that through ball and the offside goal.. despite his pace AA looks another one of those that gets brainfreeze when in a decent position we seem to have a talent for finding these type of players ..the chance when running through against arsenal was embarrassing and laughable 

it’s one of my biggest gripes against Ralph players with attacking spark seem to mean nothing to him

Like what your saying about Mara and Edozie...............upto Wreck it Ralph i guess. TBH i hope the guy comes good but we are playing well within ourselves and dont seem to be able to go through the gears.

I’m still confident. I think our best form of defence today will be to counter-attack them.

They struggled when they had no space to run into against Everton last week.

Sneaky, hard graft win for us I think 👍🏻

True but the problem with this of course is not allowing them to dictate the game which sitting deep tends to encourage. If this is the tactic employed then pace to break quickly will be extremely important which is not really a strength our usual starters exhibit, which in turn tends to provide the opposing team more opportunities. If Ralph doesn’t set us up properly the midfield will be overrun and we’ll lose IMO.

This is why I think we could do well in a 4-3-3. Sit deep and play Edozie for his pace on the counter, if he isn't great at tracking then that extra man in midfield can help out. According their fans they are useless against sides that defend deep.

Would be really great to put another win the board today & not revert to form, hopefully we can! and realistically we will be sticking with Ralph for better or worse and someone else will be coming in next season seeing as though he announced his pre planned '"retirement" some time ago.  Please no Walcott today

See, if Walcott is as fast as he’s supposed to be, I would suggest he’d be a good option to hit them on the break?  Perhaps he’s not got the legs fr a whole game, but I’d rather he tried affect the game early on, rather than later when the games gone.

Probably as good a team we could put out. Lyanco v Zaha will be exciting. A definite likely yellow their for those that want to make a bit of money 😂

Yep. Probably best available starting 11.

We'd just better pray we don't get any more injuries in the defensive unit today because that bench doesn't fill me with any confidence in that department... A teenage LB, a midfielder who can fill in at RB, and a completely untested kid from the youth team.

No, I’d say he hasn’t got the legs for a whole game. Or ball control.

My concern with our lineup is the lack of any pace in it.

This was my exact thought. A team with no pace rarely does well at this level. Think I'd have left AA in and put AMN at right back but let's see how it pans out. We'll need to pass and move very well without any pace up front if we are to trouble them.
