    Predicting lineups this season will be fun, given we might predict based on a completely different formation to the one we lined up with

    I’ve just seen this and then seen on sky sports news that your game has been abandoned. Why?

    Nothing about it being called off anywhere else

    Probably just SkyBet trying to mess up everybody's accumulator

    Interesting team, no doubt rotated after the Super Cup.

    Vicario
    Porro Romero VdV Spence
    Gray Sarr
    Kudus Bergvall Johnson
    Richarlison

    Seems most likely, though it could be

    Vicario
    Gray Romero VdV
    Porro Sarr Bergvall Spence
    Kudus
    Johnson Richarlison

    Though with a healthy group of CBs on the bench I doubt Frank would be sticking Gray in a back 3 if he wanted to use that formation, so 433 surely most likely.

    Brenaldo back in the starting line up.

    Hopefully puts paid to the rumours he isn’t fancied by Frank.

    Pre match observations...
    1. Still a lot of Asian fans here so they obviously ain't tourists
    2. Really good atmosphere
    3. Pre match warm up very different. Practising defending corners and free kicks.

    And I'm still as pessimistic as ever

    Early notes

    Great movement from Richy for the goal. I think he has that penalty box instinct and first time finishes more than Solanke, who is probably the better all round player.

    Archie Gray looks a little lost as the 6. Maybe he’s being marked well but he isn’t finding space or dragging players away to allow the CBs to progress the ball.

    We need to be a bit cannier. Can’t be doing the little shoves in the back (like Spence a few minutes ago) in our defensive third - it gives the opportunity for their players to go down and get the free kick, which is what they want.

    We’ve gotten a little sloppy the last 10 mins or so

    We have a very young midfield and it's showing

    Romero is having a bit of a mare so far. Misplaced passes and unnecessary fouls.

    Overall we started well, but have gone off the boil last 10.
