    Yes. come on to the mackems. They've got a penalty. We really want them to beat norwich today, or were done and dusted.

    Mackems up by two now. Good for us I'd say. Best chance we have is getting 34/35 points max, I don't think Norwich will really get more than 2 points in their last 5 games. Still, the way it looks, Mackems to do another big escape, and they prolly deserve it too.

    Tidy bench, the players on the pitch frighten me though.

    The only time in the last few games we've looked like scoring (and have scored) is when Cisse and Mitrovic are both on the pitch (apart from the Townsend wonder goal). We all know what is going to happen here - Cisse playing up front on his own will be isolated and we will be toothless. Then second half Rafa will bring on Mitro and we will look marginally better. Very disappointed to see Sissoko, Tiote and Colback on the pitch. The back 5 is as it should be but I can't see a win coming here at all with that midfield.

    That's 6 screening the keeper and 4 up top basically, highlights will be lumping it towards Cisse and getting nowt. Wij or Sissoko should be dropped to accommodate the big man!

    Gash team selection cos we're relying on wij to show up along wi sissoko. Doubting it somehow. Shelvey dropper is a gud idea, I'd rather have a half baked tiote there tbh

    Norwich goal difference taking a pounding too. Could be crucial.

    A different formation and 6 players I wouldn't of picked but I concede that Rafa knows more than me!
    Hopefully we'll grab that win, Sunderland done us a favour!

    Genuinely don't understand that choice of line up... Hope I'm wrong

    Jesus christ. 4-2-3-1 hasn't worked for 32 games, but I'm certain it'll work this week. And when Swansea win, we'll try next week. I swear we'll be in League One before someone works out this sh*t doesn't work.

    Oh, and don't get me started on the selections of Anita, Cisse, Tiote, Sissoko and Wijnaldum. Tosspot of a club.
