Change the fucking record, you boring prick.

He’s absolutely right though. We knew before the summer that Henderson, Thiago, Fabinho and Keita miss a lot of games through niggly injuries. Letting the one reliably available midfielder go without replacing him was idiotic, particularly given the shitshow in defence last year.

Good team that, should be more than enough to win.

 

Would of course have preferred to have Fabinho at the 6 rather than Henderson, but these games are seldom about midfield control and mostly about working hard and putting the ball in the net when it matters. Let's hope Konate can give us an extra set piece threat.

 

Put it this way, I'd be considerably more worried if our back 6 consisted of Wan-B, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred and Mctominay!

 

Biggest worry in this game is the ref.

 

Let's go out and beat these wankers! Come on you reds!

Is right. Obviously disappointing Fabinho and Matip are not playing and it seems a lot of people's head falls off every time we have team changes.

 

Although sadio has a number of goals to his name this season, overall his performances havent been that good. Im sure he'll be fired up to come off the bench if needed.

It's not like that at all though because we have all experienced pro's available. It's not like we're having to rely on a midfield version of Rhys Williams.

Just noticed Kelleher is out due to 'illness'

 

Good job wasn't last week...that useless turd Adrian would have still found a way to let goals in v a watford team who hardly managed an attack or would have gifted them one early by kicking one straight to their striker.

There's also zero chance all our "First 11" comes through every international break and 2 games a week unscathed. Some sort of rotation is needed for every side, even more so for the teams fielding 11 internationals at any given time. 

 

For the people losing their shit over Keita, I think his overall play has been good the last games, and I'm much more worried about Milner ending up in the referees book within minutes...

I'm not overly concerned by Konate in for Matip. Konate is a beast and if he can keep the sunbed shagger down then alls well and good. Trent needs a big game today. You know what you get with Robbo but Trent is either superb or the worst on the pitch, rarely and in-between. Watch McTominay and Shaw boot the fuck out of Mo.

Salah’s brilliance has papered over how easy we are to play though at the moment. And relying on a 35-year-old for every single game (as much as a warrior as he is) isn’t a million miles from the Rhys Williams situation.

Main and common problem with Keita and Milner is that they are not quick enough when we need to defend counter attacks. The mancs are a poor unit, with some great individual players in it, and are very good at fast counter attacks. There lies the main worry today.

Come on mate, be serious. Milner is not a Rhys Williams situation.
