Saint Garrett

Would quite like another wide player, but the club might decide that if we're going to play 5-2-2-1 then we don't need the wide player, and Targett can fill in there with Cedric on the other side. Think it would be a shame to lose Bertrand's attacking ability down the wing though.

I believe it gets moved to Saturday lunchtime if West Ham and Liverpool draw in the next round. (or Exeter) Might be wrong.

Not sure - he's already pretty old. Might keep him at West Ham with the new stadium n all.

Where?

TBF, They also got a transfer ban for the next two windows... As for English prem clubs being punished, I think the only one was City and they had their quota of players reduced in the champions league....

Stek our only injury, so Forster will keep his place - will be like that all season I think.

Hasn't this FFP thing been massively relaxed this season....?

Would look decent in R&W...What's Gecko Saint up to these days?

Don't think we've played 442 against anyone in the last few years, would be surprised if we go and play it now.

We played 5-4-1 against Watford... -------------Forster Cedric VVD Fonte Bertrand Targett --------Clasie----Romeu------------- Davis-------------------------Mane ---------------Long-------------------

De Gea > Cech IMO.....

No reason to not play Davis out on the right and Mane down the middle if we want - Davis is more than capable of playing there, he did under Poch.

Cheers, Would be a good signing for them. Interesting one...

Link ?

Apologies - badly worded on my part... His overall performance looked like a player who didn't want to be here, didn't track his man multiple times, didn't press when the others were up top, he only came alive when he had the ball. I've seen him putting in a much better shift than last night, not sure what his running stats were in the game. His mind didn't look focused either, he would have buried the majority of those chances he had last night last season. If he was fully focused he would have scored IMO.

Mane couldn't finish anything last night - looked like he didnt want to be here to me.

You'd expect so - certainly a good option and fits the Holland obsession...

I was thinking about this the other day, and couldn't pick out one player who has done particularly well consistently. It's either Van Dijk (who I don't think has been that great) or Davis (who for a creative player doesn't score or assist) Tough one - the award is there for the taking in the second half of the season.

TBF though, this is the sort of player we should be going for, doesn't break the bank in wages either. It's a missed opportunity.

True...! He is f*cking sh!t though.....long ball hoofer, slow, cant tackle, cant read the flight of the ball, not particularly strong.

If all players are "in form"... --------Forster Clyne Toby Lovren Shaw --Morgan Wanyama-- Mane Lallana Rodriguez -------Lambert---------- Steven Davis just misses out...tough one. Mane, Lallana and JRod running past Rickie as he drifts deeper.....Love it.

He's left.....

Not convinced - not sure we have it in us to keep clean sheets and win to 0 this season. They're also very dangerous up top with Deeney and Ighalo. Should be a good game, they're a very good side this year.

Certrainly be an odd one, he's barely good enough to be a fourth choice CB for a team who's conceding goals, the bloke is absolutely terrible.

He's not been that great - one of our best signings this summer but that doesn't say a lot. Wins a lot in the air, but has also got a mistake in him, nowhere near as good as Toby IMO.
