The audacity of this board to think we could sell VVD and not replace him is what has been our undoing. Moping or not, with him in the team we wouldn't have conceded three last week or at Newcastle.
We can defend when we want to - kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford and very nearly kept out Man City scoring a winner until Sterling popped up at the death

Things could be worse...
Davis has actually chipped in with the odd goal from midfield, so he's not that bad an option. He shouldn't play the whole game, but I'd start him for sure. I'd like to see JWP too.
I would still expect them to rest players for this match. It's Newcastle who will perhaps be wanting things to remain competitive, as they play them in the league next weekend.
It'll be interesting to see what side Arsenal put out. They're at full strength tonight, so will Wenger change things around and name a few of the youngsters?
Why mention the 5-0 then, that was against our reserve side!
Considering they are playing tonight, they may very well prioritise the Europa League match over Sunday's fixture.
Those games in Italy yesterday kicked off early to ensure they wouldn’t clash with the Champions League. Midweek games in this county never kick off at 6pm, the police would never allow it as it’s rush hour.
