We'll fucking batter them. 3 nil.

[Wabaloolah]

Sounds like Diaz is the one to miss out from the forwards.

a bit of a surprise that, he's been in decent form, guess it will be Elliott in the Salah role and Gakpo dropping into midfield

Makes sense because it gives us a genuine attacking option from the bench.

Check ya sauce

He’s playing.

[Stevo79]

Looks like it is Diaz in, prefer that.

[Phineus]

As expected then. More than enough there to beat these.

[gemofabird]

Bradley starting

[duvva 💅]

Elliott starts as well. Gakpo & Gravenberch the two main first teamers to miss out

[Samie]

In out, in out, you shake it all about.

[Wghennessy]

Diaz Jota and Nunez then.

Has Nunez ever started on the right?

[Samie]

Diaz will be right ?

[disgraced cake]

Big show of confidence putting Conor Bradley up front.

[Knight]

Diaz will be right ?

It might be Jota. It definitely won't be Nunez.

[Samie]

[Phineus]

Think it’ll be Diaz personally.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Diaz will be right ?

Could even be Jota... I have a vague recollection of him being out there before but could be wrong. He seems the most adaptive of the three anyway.

[killer-heels]

I love Jones and Elliott has been great but i always get worried when we have a couple of youngsters in midfield. Like last season where we had Bajetic and Elliott in there.

[Samie]

Did we really need 2 keepers on the bench? Just put another youth player on there for fucks sakes.

[scalatore]

Good side. We should be winning this.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Like who? Anyone else close probably played yesterday.

[Clint Eastwood]

Bench looking threadbare.

[So… Howard Philips]

Shows the injury situation when we have five youngsters on the bench

[Pistolero]

Crucial game this...just get 3 points ...not arsed how

[mullyred94]

Jota has def played from the right for us I think last time Salah went in Jan?

[Phineus]

No real alternatives tbf, Gakpo is a fish out of water in midfield and Gravenberch needs much more time. Least we have plenty of legs, so the counter press should be effective.

[TepidT2O]

Jones isn’t a youngster anymore.  Proper first 11 now.

[Spanish Al]

They have Chris Mepham at the back. We should be scoring bucket loads here, he’s appalling.

But he’ll probably turn into prime Nesta for the day now.

[Draex]

Fingers crossed we don’t play with the normal long break hangover!

[killer-heels]

No real alternatives tbf, Gakpo is a fish out of water in midfield and Gravenberch needs much more time. Least we have plenty of legs, so the counter press should be effective.

Yep clearly we dont have a choice. Does worry me though.

[Knight]

And also Jones is our most important midfielder. Weird being nervous about him just because he happens to be scouse and, sort of, young.

[Agent99]

Just the 10 players missing then...

[Schmidt]

I love Jones and Elliott has been great but i always get worried when we have a couple of youngsters in midfield. Like last season where we had Bajetic and Elliott in there.

Think it's a bit different with Jones as physically he can hold his own as well as anyone. It's when younger players don't quite have the strength and pace to battle well that it can be an issue.

[Sarge]

Bench looking threadbare.

In fairness we are missing a lot of players.

[gerrardisgod]

Nyoni played a whole match yesterday, otherwise he’d have been there again.

[AndyInVA]

Can't get used to the spearmint pacer shirts.

[cdav]

Imagine the excuses some other teams would get off pundits if they had so many injuries. Will be a real tough game this, worried we may be a bit lightweight in midfield.

Hoping we can be clinical with our chences

[Buster Gonad]

The team I expected.  Hopefully we get a decent start as we don't have the greatest bench. It's a completely new right side for us. Good game for Harvey is really important.  Gonna be a tough game.

[DonkeyWan]

So many annoying injuries, the bench looks very light.
