    Sadly the way Pellegrino plays suits Long. Gabbiadini doesn't hassle and close down as much which appears to be the criteria for being a ST under him. Unless you're a target man...

    Must be one of the strongest benches we have ever had, which is also missing Redmond and Austin. I assume Redmond has been dropped to work on himself and get out of the limelight.

    Oh do me a favour. Of course JWP hasn't been 'dropped' in the sense that you are implying. Get a grip.

    This manager is an absolute muppet!
    Dropping JWP and bringing in Davis WTF is his thinking?
    Long in for Gabby? Speechless

    Mixed feelings about the team, Boufal is in, but criminally JWP is dropped!....Has Pellegrino actually picked the same XI consecutively in the past 3 months? #tinkerman.

    Erm, he's keeping Davis sharp, and will probably give JWP a run out later on.

    Long absolutely terrorred Watford less than three weeks ago...

    I'm in favour of a managerial change but it doesn't mean every single little thing he does is wrong.

    Football isn’t like that. Anything could happen in those games regardless of today.

    Previous games can have an effect on the next games, that's why we haven't won a league game in two months.

    I have no problem with resting other players or keeping others sharp. Just think Gabbi deserves more of a chance then he has been getting, he played well in the last game and actually put pressure on the keeper

    He’s set his priority and got it right.

    Have to have an eye on the next two games with this team and energy levels, but it’s also important to have a settled team, especially the back four. So I’m pretty pleased with the line up. Think the balance is right
