    Lejeune back from injury already.

    What would you do from here? We'd have Lejeune, Lascelles, Schar, Fernandes and Clark, with even Dummett better suited to a CB role.

    Do you stick with a back four? Move to a back 3? I don't know what Rafa has planned but we've looked better/more suited to 3 at the back, really only losing because of Yedlin/Lascelles against Wolves having beaten Burnley using this formation.

    What do you feel is our best defensive set up?

    I think we need to go for it at home the system we have works well away on the counter but at home as results are showing it's not working.

    Lejeune, Schar and Fernandes back three. Kenedy and Yedlin wingbacks.

    Midfield of Ki, Shelvey and Diame. Ritchie/ Muto and Rondon in front.

    What???? No goalkeeper??? Brave, but I don’t think we’ll survive only playing 10 men especially with no goalkeeper.

    The all new attacking NUFC. Dubravka up front. More prowess than bloody Perez.

    I think he should play with anger

    I don’t know who this Anger is but he can’t be any worse than Joselu.

    I think people need to think more about the feelings of our players.

    It's not like our attacking players get much supply and they give us 100% Joselu included

    I'm a nice guy these days I really don't like seeing people being victimised and made to feel unhappy.
