Hold out with that defence aint happening.

GK out
RB out
LB out
1 CB out
Le Fee out
4 of our 5 wingers out

Back them lot on the handicap would be my advice.

Fair points and we should win but we wont find it easy. When we've not got Tonali or Bruno in the middle we're half the team then with them, got a couple of others out ourselves (Tchiaw, Livramento, etc) but our main issues are that our new strikers look poor and out of form and the fact we took a battering away in Europe midweek.

As we're more established in the league we should have the depth to handle all of the above though so can't really be an excuse even if you were a first 11. We are however a random performance generator this season, there's not a whole lot on the match though other than bragging rights and I guess that takes some of the pressure off. Just hope there's no injuries or red cards. Oh and that we stuff you ofc.

It usually is. This was always on the cards. Bubble is the safest way tbf.

I hate the violence which some seem to go for. It's not just the small minority who look for it, there's a fair chunk of the fans on either side who revel in the idea that their fans beat up the opponents fans. You'll get Simon in accounts who could get knocked off his feet by a stiff breeze telling you how his teams fans (Sunderland or Newcastle, it makes no difference) always put the fear of god into their rivals, who run away crying.

Shocking start by us. We have grown into the game since then and I definitely think there’s a goal in the game for us.

Our keeper and defence looks vulnerable. That’s the difference today.
