Really looking forward to tomorrow. The back four is fine and will protect the keeper. I have a lot of faith in chambers as deputy for Clyne. We still have lots of options in midfield and j rod appears to make up for the lack of goals from rickie. An ever improving osvaldo finishes off a strong line up. It's a huge game to make your premier league debut but don't be surprised to see Gallagher sand Reed making a cameo appearance to morrow.
Rickie is actually doing what I expected he would start doing, which is to occasionally sit behind JRod, and Dani when he comes on, and provide a bit of attacking midfield passing precision. The guys aren't quite doing the runs yet, but he's providing an option there. When we go back to crossing the ball, he is also perfectly capable of doing what he has always done, which is to draw away to the far post. It's amazing how that tactic still works against even the best teams.
