    So, of course, Lo Celso picked up a knock in training and is set to miss the game

    He’s literally replaced his compatriot, Lamela, except we didn’t get a good player this time around.

    Brennan to score on his return, he's been improving game on game and was unlucky last week

    Yeah I’ve said for a while I think we’re gonna really enjoy watching him over the coming months and seasons.

    He’s got that raw pace as well as actual footballing ability, don’t often see the two things together, see Adama Traore/ Dan James/ Mudryk etc.

    Interesting stat on the BBC, apparently our record this season is exactly the same as it was at this stage last season.

    P16
    W9
    D3
    L4
    For 33
    Against 23

    Just goes to show: it's more about the football than the results.

    How many weeks out this time for Lo Celso !!??

    If he is not starting XI fit for at least half the games
    between now and Feb 1, then he has to be gone
    in the summer whatever the loss is on the bottom line.

    Actually it shows the "season compass" is a far better
    measure than anything the BBC waste taxpayer money on.

    I like that he plays with his head up, doesn't seem to run into many blind allys like some you have mentioned, could be the coaching that he's getting now

    Different fixtures so I wouldn’t pay too much attention to it too much. Can only judge how things have gone at the end of the season.

    For me the FA Cup is more of a priority this season.

    We were actually decent in those games, for the most part. Then came the World Cup.
    Lloris cost us a lot of points in those 16 games, especially towards the end of them.
    Wilson fouling him cost us the 12th. That ref? A certain antipodean....

    Put Richarlison in my FPL team.

    If I’m gonna win, I’m gonna win it the hard way. No easy routes taken here.

    Basically unchanged, barring one on the bench, I think. Dier replaces Lo Celso.

    Starting XI : Vicario, Porro, Davies, Romero, Udogie, Johnson, Bissouma, Sarr, Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison.
    Subs: Forster, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Gil, Royal, Dier, Veliz, Donley, Dorrington.

    That is a woeful bench on attacking threat.
    We may see Donley and other academy kids get opportunities.

    An absolute must win game. A win keeps us right in touch. With the players we are losing next month we have to take as many points as we can while we are able to put this team out.
