Not overly surprised by the team selection, based on Selles’ comments, although odd to see AMN in ahead of KWP and mystifying to see Bednarek in the squad let alone in the back four. Could be going for the press???
Fine with the team apart from AMN. But we have KWP on the bench just in case. New manager, so clean slate for everyone. Selles said he wants to use players familiar with Ralph’s ways right? Maybe the Croatians and Edozie aren’t there yet.
mmmmmm....I think that's a great team and we'll win 2-1. Note: This post is programmed to self-destruct at 15.15 hours.
Is Bree injured or is he just not selected because he is Nathan's boy? I think he is a better option than AMN personally.
Maybe he doesn’t rate Brie? Or maybe AMN is working hard in training? I’m hoping that’s the case and he’s giving AMN the nod to improve team character.
I have a downer on Bednarek because he keeps dozing off and letting runners in behind him. Not remotely bothered about anything he may have said off the pitch tbh. He needs to redeem himself today. There must be a reason why DCC isn’t playing.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles has been an Arsenal player since he was 6 years old, so will be fired up after his parent club’s win away at Villa, and will have a deep-rooted hatred of Chelsea, which will lead to him being our MOTM today. There.
Bloody hell, just seen the final score at Villa Park. Huge win for the Goons, that. C’mon Saints, make it a double family celebration for the Archers Road household (united in our hatred of Tottenham)
Well yes I’d also prefer DCC But his complete absence suggests a different issue (I’d hope this gets asked afterwards) So given the available squad to choose from, I’d have Bednarek over Lyanco. Elsewhere I’d hope AMN is a place holder for KWP returning next week. Id have had Alcatraz over Elyounnoussi as my only change to that line up
Why is Bree taking some slack here? I think he has been really good- and that says something in our team! I agree though that the club now have to explain the Croatian Situation (was that an episode of The Big Bang Theory?).
