    --------------Joselu-------------
    Atsu--------Perez--------Ritchie
    --------Merino--Hayden------
    Yedlin---Clark--Lascelles--Manquillo
    ----------------Elliot-------------


    I'd keep the squad and line up as close to normal as possible. We don't wanna chop and change too much.

    Apparently we'll have Yedlin and Lejuenne back -http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/09/0...t-to-have-florian-lejeune-and-deandre-yedlin/ but I'd keep Clark and Lascelles together at CB as they looked solid together

    Put Yedlin at LB.

    I'd also consider bringing on Murphy on for 20-30 minutes. We need a proper CAM in our team. Perez is canny but we need a playmaker there.

    I just have this horrible feeling it doesn't matter what we do or who plays, Renato Sanches will end up tearing us a new one, that's just how it works sometimes.

    4-1 Swansea.

    3-2 Win

    Joselu, Perez, Ritchie with the goals. Sanchez and Bony for them.

    If we play well we should have enough quality to beat you. It will be interesting to see if Bony and/or Sanches start the game.

    That said, I don't rate our defence either. I'll go for a 2-1 win for us, but it could easily be a dreadful 0-0.

    For the first time in 6 years I'm reluctant to go for a 3-1 win.

    F@ck it, 3-1 to the lads.

    That would be a surprise.

    Which is precisely why it isn't going to happen.

    With Wonder Boy and Bony in Swansea's ranks, what chance have we got.
    So, its just as well that Sigurdsson and Llorente have gone otherwise we'd be looking at a 6 - 0 trouncing.

    2 - 1 Win

    we have had 2 clean sheets and Manure scored 3 in the last 10 minutes so it is hardly shocking - poor to fair perhaps ????? :)

    Sorry we use the internationally recognised 4-point scale for defence evaluation in our matchday threads. Thats as follows:
    Haidara's playing
    Boumsong-like
    ****ing Coloccini
    Poor
    Tash has ranked you at the top end of the scale based on what we are used to seeing on a regular basis.

    That's a good question. I would probably put him as a half-gradation between Coloccini and Boumsong. Lovely long pass on him though - suspect he could have been a very good defender but prone to concentration lapses (and late night assualts on women - allegedly).

    Renato Sanchez is not some demi-god. Even Messi and Ronaldo can't be amazing with 10 average players around them. Anyways I see your Sanches and raise you JOSELU!!!!
    Averagely poor squad vs. Averagely poor squad= DRAW

    Even with Sigurdsson and Llorente they ****e for most of last season.

    Bony's been out of action for most of the last 2 years, and Renato Sanches was the worst player in Germany last year!

    They're really not that much different to us.

    1-1 draw.
