I would 100% play Kone he is either going to give his all for his new contract or give his all for a move. Either way for me he has to play.

No Borini, interesting... I think he's been smashing in pre-season and he's one of the best grafters we have, which will be needed in a game like this tomorrow.
I feel too many new players with unproven prem experience playing - Love, Djilobodji, McNair - not enough experience for me against a world class team - Borini for Januzi , Jones for Love
I'd play Kone on the basis that him and Kaboul are our best CB pairing. He's been a silly boy for sure but the fine is enough punishment for me and I don't wish us to shoot ourselves in the foot by fielding an intentionally weakened side just to make a point.
Too many possibilities to work a team selection or strategy out. I just hope they do the shirt and away support proud. First game of a new season/era so anything could happen.
**** Kone, let the **** rot. Bod isthe man now. Lets see how he works with Kaboul. Bod, love ,McNair and Januzaj. Well this time last week (after the mags had all read lost in the champions league) wasnt expecting to have 4 potential debutants. ..........mannone....... ..love...kaboul....bod....glue.. .borini...lens....mcnair...jacuzi.. ........khazri.... . .....................defoe..... Attack..attack....attack...
Lots of people opting for love at RB which i fond odd... he's not had much of a preseason at all by all accounts. I'd 100% be picking robson over him. He's played all but 1 of our preseason games, knows the squad, knows the tactics, and should be fully match fit. If we'd bought in someone with tons of experience I'd understand but Love is only slightly older with the same amount of prem experience...
