Same team as Everton, with Aluko in for Diame. Battle heart commitment is what today is all about. Thats why we need Quinn, Rosenior and Meyler in the team. Win today and things go well elsewhere and we move up to 13th. Songs for today. The Mighty Quinn would be good as would Nice One Cyril for Jake.
Not sure what is going to happen with HBA. It'd be nice to see him come on in a free role for Aluko after 60 minutes and have a blinder. But if Mourinho cant carry a player like Mata cos he doesnt work hard enough off the ball then there's no way we can carry HBA. See Deeney scored a hat trick last night. Hernandez has a good goals return for games played, now we need him in and settled here quickly.
West Brom to win 1-0. Boos at the final whistle. Steve Bruce to get sacked in the morning. Christmas to start early.
Shouldnt you be doing your admin duties. Aluko to have a blinder today. Didnt think i would write that again. He'll turn Lescott inside out.
Be tempted to go Hernandez, but guess that Aluko has earned the right. Brady to start? Ben Arfa on bench unless he's pissed Stevie boy off in a terminal way.
Can only see a dour battle today between 2 out of form teams not wanting to lose. Looks a banker draw. Will give the live overnight coverage a miss and watch a full replay tomorrow morning.
We'll win, think they will give in. On a bad run, manager under pressure. Early goal for us and we'll hammer em.
McGreggor Rosenior Chester Dawson Robertson Elmo Livermore Huddlestone Brady Aluko Jelavic Harsh on Quinn and Meyler but I think we need to be more attacking at home. I fancy us today. 2-0
------------- McGregor Rosenior - Chester - Dawson - Robertson Elmo - Livermore - Huddlestone - Brady -------------- Aluko ------------- Jelavic And after typing that I realise it's identical to others, but hey.
Ditto Subs: Quinn for Brady Hernandez for Aluko If we're 1 up, subbing Meyler for an attacker just invites pressure; you need to keep a second upfield player on the pitch otherwise team just gets deeper and deeper - one thing I'd critisize Bruce on..
Didn't see Jela being dropped, but given the effort he has put in over the psat few games could understand that he may be a bit knackered
I'm sure he does have a knock, Bruce wouldn't have picked Hernandez over Jela. Jelalavic is a massive for us, so if he is injured,i'm a bit pissed off he's even on the bench. Damn it we need a strikeroo...
