    I think it will be Diallo at RB but I wouldn’t mind if it was Romeu

    Think I would rather JWP at RB. We have seen him do it well before and I worry that Diallo vs Grealish could be very costly.

    You may well see them switch during the game

    This is Ralph saying "****, Diallo is so good, I just have to put him somewhere"

    That will only happen if Diallo struggles.

    I really don't care whether our RB can cross in this game or not. I'm more concerned about whether our RB can cope with Grealish.

    Just keep kicking him above his stupid little shin pads.

    My only concern with Diallo at full back is that positionally he'll naturally gravitate towards the centre of the pitch which can leave a bit more space out wide. Contributed to Arsenal's 3rd the other night iirc.

    Saying that though, the bloke's an absolute G so can probably do well in most positions.

    Maybe the plan is for him to man mark Grealish who will float.

    Was going to suggest Redmond for Walcott as he has been a bit quiet last few games but hopefully a change in position will rejuvenate his form!

    Pretty much what he actually said in the presser, so yeah.

    Think Badger mentioned it, but I have NowTV in the kitchen and proper Sky in the lounge - 57 second lag.

    I'm NowTV and can confirm this.

    When we're holding on in a game late on I watch the clock on bet365.

    Shame Vesty isn't playing. You could leave the living room just as he started to turn, go for a pee, make a cup of tea, and look at the kitchen TV and see him just starting his turn.

    Personally I think Walcott has been a revelation (was never really sure when we signed him). It's just his first touch - and occasionally his decision making - that lets him down a bit. Still a handful for defenders.

    Diallo's brother plays full back for PSG so clearly genetic

    I'd rather we aimed a little higher?

    Have we been putting many good crosses in from RB?
