Saint NL Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 I just saw the lineup, rushed over here to join in the panic. Stuart Armstrong as rightback 😂 Elyounoussi straight back in. Janny B. Just relegate us now. If Shakespeare was writing this, it started as a tragedy and it's officially become a comedy now 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Perraud scoring a brace and getting dropped. Same for Djenepo when he scored. How else do you think Moi stays in the side? Say no to goalscorers. Is this an extension of Sports Republics mantra of liking people who fail? Players that haven't scored are hungrier to get goals, those who score are complacent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 1 minute ago, egg said: You miss the point. He gets cut slack as he's a kid, but that doesn't make him good enough. If giving away possession, never getting his head up, never spotting the runner, rarely understanding what's going on around him, etc, is offering a lot more, then yep, Edozie offers more. Personally I think he's miles away from PL ready. hard to argue with that. I like that the will go for it and take a risk, but he see gaps that really just aren't there and ends up losing it. He's got something, but not enough right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceandfriendly Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 One positive to note. Had Selles picked the best available team we’d have probably all got our hopes up for some kind of positive result. So there’s that. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButtikonSaint Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 (edited) DCC : Bizarre situation, something must have happened. Orsic: not too bothered ... haven't seen enough of him (which is also bizarre) SE: young gun that's been thrown in the deep end... I'm sure he needs a rest Looks like a 4-2-2-2 to me - assume Selles wants something the team is familiar with. Baz : I'd put Willy but OK AMN : guess right back, had a good match last week Bednarek / ABK : hopefully it gels and they finally get a clean sheet Perraud, JWP, Lavia : obvious Moj and Stu : they owe us both a great end to the season, here's their chance. Noobs: had to be Would love a draw any other time time but we need points so might as well just go for it.

Assuming he's out of the picture, with an injured Salisu, I'd take Bednarek over Lyanco all day long. Armstrong will play in a front 3 imo so not a role for Alcaraz. I'd have Alcaraz over Ely though. Edozie is massively overrated and won't be missed - if he's been dropped, it's long overdue. Orsic, if it's a front 3, has no place. Willy ahead of Bazunu, yep.

Baird of the land Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 Has bednarek got some blackmail material on the club. Pathetic that after last week where he walked the ball into his own net he still manages to make the team. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent 15m plus on them two, and were writing off assets like that. They must have done something hideous. you’d think they’d have drawn a line under it all once Jones is gone. Apparently not.

Saint Matty 76 Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 Whether you think that Edozie is overrated or not, I'd rather him start a game over Elyounoussi and I'd rather him come on when we're chasing the game instead of fucking Walcott. We simply will not win Premier League games with Bazunu, Bednarek and Maitland-Niles making up 3 of our back 5. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 18 February, 2023 Share Posted 18 February, 2023 (edited) To be fair i can sort of understand Moi, i'm not a fan but he did play an important defensive role last time we played chelsea. Equally can sort of get AMN if KWP isn't ready to start. It's the garbage Bednarek selection i can't fathom at all. With Bednarek playing that's a minimum 2 goals conceded if form holds true.
