ferguson1 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) With the news today that Targett and Kodj are available, we pretty much have a fully fit squad to pick from. *Not sure on a couple of positions here, but great problem for Smith to have. With my selection below, we also have Elmo, Hause, Lansbury and Jota missing out on the 18 man squad. Heaton Guilbert - Engels - Mings - Targett Nakamba Luiz - McGinn *Trez/El G - Grealish *Wesley/Davis Bench: Steer, Konsa, Taylor, Hourihane, Trez or El G, then two from Wes/Davis and Kodj Edited October 1, 2019 by ferguson1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtaylor200 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Wesley or Weskey as I call him due to his similar style to Heskey , bully players off the ball and get knocked over when on the ball by centre backs he should be knocking down like skittles I know we do not want to knock the lads confidences as @JAMAICAN-VILLAN stated in the Burnley thread and I fully understand this BUT There has to be a time when enough is enough. IMO we are playing with ten men at the moment. We need to play Davies and boost HIS confidence by being picked. Play Wes in the seconds for a couple of games and a chat with Peter Withe 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Let's replicate that 4-2 win where a fresh Keinan Davis making his full debut and Conor Hourihane absolutely ran riot at VP (where we seem to have their number). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 So who is actually out for them? I know they have 1st & 2nd choice goalkeepers out but I keep hearing of this injury crisis, 10 first teamers out, etc.. but I looked at their teamsheet from Saturday and it looked like all their best players played?

Ahhh I remember that day well! Party because of the win but mainly because I got the shit kicked outta me by 3 lads in a pub on the evening! Good times Anyway I think this will be a draw or a loss. Can't see us getting a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, Now Davis & Kodj can flip a coin to see which one of them gets to come on in the 89th minute this week Edited October 2, 2019 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) My side would be: Heaton Guilbert Engels Mings Targett (if not Taylor) McGinn Nakamba Douglas Luiz Trezeguet Wesley Grealish Subs: Steer, Elmohamady, Konsa, Taylor, Lansbury, El Ghazi, Davis Edited October 2, 2019 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be better, I don’t know if McGinn would be that effective playing as a number 10 but I think it’s worth a try 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I'd have Hourihane in the SJM slot and drop him back in place of Luiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 And need Hourihane, McGinn and Jack to shoot on sight against their third choice keeper. Put him under pressure from the start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I think we will win this one convincingly. That first half against Burnley gave me a lot of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 We need to start collecting some bloody points away from home. So far we lost every away league game. (Although robbed at palace) I'd play jota behind Wesley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 We've won only one game in seven, if we fail to win on Saturday that will be one win in eight, and will put a lot of pressure on the Brighton game because if we don't win that either, then with Man City and Liverpool coming up that will most probably turn to one win in ten. Three points are vital, especially since Norwich have an injury crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornso Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I don't know why but I just having a feeling we'll nick this one. 2-1. Trezeguet to score and a late Grealish winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
