Moore Elyounoussi, obvs

Who, for all his technical deficiencies, surprised me by not sprinting around & closing down like a man possessed when he came on.

No chance of Clyne or Vic, but wouldn't surprise me if we utilise the loan market.

That story had to be true & is sounded like exactly something that would happen.

Those stats surprise me actually I thought he was really bad. I wasn't watching the game specifically to criticise him, but I saw signs early on that he wasn't really at it. Looked liked he'd had too many Gin & #TonicLikeLeminade's. A shame, because with Hojbjerg out, I really hoped he'd step up. He wasn't alone though. I thought Armstrong & Vestergaard were probably our better performers last night.

Exactly & this is definitely the sort of game that you don't want to be going in with a days less rest than them either.

Fernandinho still a major doubt. Jesus could be back for them. I'd expect Silva to start for them. Imagine we will rotate a fair few players.

Update:

Very bad day at the office. Good start, all seemed to go flat after about 10 mins. Pressing became non-existent, some really lazy shoddy passing & players running in treacle.

Attacking players getting the ball far too deep.

Good Lemina must be at home. Bad Lemina is playing.

Big test for Valery vs Anderson.

I think VvD's the best. He has literally no weaknesses (apart from unsolicited offers to go to Blackpool).

Some others I really like:

This was the one that popped into my head immediately. Followed by this one...

1-1

Came off injured today. Possible hamstring.

Brighton 0-1 Arsenal

I'm not convinced! Pretty sure they have a fair few back for the game. D. Silva / Jesus / Fernandinho all likely to be back. (Silva was a sub today)

They'd only just beat Villa 3-2 from 2-0 down the other day.

Burnley 1-5 Everton

Delph sent off for City.
