3 centre backs, 2 wing backs, then pick your own formation from the other 5 - hmmmmmmm - interesting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brother just called me from a pub not too far from the ground (Marble Arch, Tel) and told me the team... Threw up in my mouth.
That is the side I expected apart from Gooch in for Khazri and Watmore instead of Pappy. I expect he is saving Khazri and Januzaj to come on when city tire. Let's look on the positive side he is obviously intent on developing some of our young lads.
Well Moyes has picked his own team and hasn't gone with what we expected so it's time for him to show us why he's a top class manager and we aren't.
Not a bad team under the circumstances, did think Papy and Kas would have started though. But the pace up front might just catch them out.
Only surprise there is Gooch instead of Khazri. Gooch looked good pre-season, I'll give him that. I presume he'll be playing in the hole behind Defoe. Let's see, eh.
I just hope we give it a go, be brave and put them under pressure. We need to make this a premier league game, hard tackles and fast counter attacking, the kind of stuff Pep and his players will not like or be used to. Get Defoe isolated 1 on 1 with Stones and we might see a mistake
