Sterling In The Green Bib Gang - Starting???

He played extremely well against Arsenal last season, and he is a lot better now than he was then. Even then he managed to nullify Walcott completely. I agree though Kelly is still a better player. Problem is we lose all effectiveness on the right side when Johnson goes to the left. Especially when Downing is on the right. I pray to the flying spaghetti monster that Downing is nowhere near the pitch today. Assaidi should start with Sterling on the bench.

 

For those asking about Enrique, he did tweet this in the last few hours:

So, it looks like he is in the squad for today's game. Not 100% sure if he'll start but I suspect he would. If he wasn't fit, then why would he be in the squad in the first place?

 

I'd rather the flying spaghetti monster (whatever that is) started today than Downing

 

I would rather we start with a mong fish.

 

assaidi is NOT a flying spagetti monster though it would be a great nickname for anyone.
