I think that's it, they are looking to keep it tight and hit on the break. With Maddison and Barnes, we can outwork them in midfield, but with the line up they've gone for they will have a more solid midfield line and then look to hit on the break.
Look at that line up vs tonight. How many (in their prime) would you swap into our line-up tonight? I think maybe 4.
Shearer, Woodgate, Bernard into the starting 11 for sure. Solano, Speed possibly. Definitely onto the bench. Robert and Dyer for the bench.
Maybe 5 for me then. Shearer Speed Nobby Bernard It's Woodgate I was toying with. In his prime yes, but he was so injury prone. Imagine rhis: Pope Trippier Woodgate Botman Bernard Bruno Solano Joelinton Speed Shearer Isak Subs: Given Schar Hughes Burn Miggy Longstaff Dyer Robert Wilson
Surely we can win tonight!? Love that Maddison isn't playing. A possible nod to him joining us (tin hat on and straws suitably clutched)
Yeah, poor Trev forgot that IIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT'SSSSS MAAAAAAATTCCHHH DAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY HTL TOON, TOON.
Joelinton injured during warm up so Anderson comes in to the starting 11…COME ON YOU ****ERS! 1 more point but let’s finish our home campaign in style!
Not a fan of Anderson. He's the Dan Burn of the midfield. This match suddenly became interesting, sadly
