Not sure if I can be bothered to answer that question.

I will now be watching due to Mrs C_S’s hangover…

Me, Young Adult and Teenage Mutant still going out later for beer and food. Let’s see if the beer is in celebration or commiseration…

I’d prepare for commiseration.

We’re going to get our arse pumped but at least we have a catchy #wemarchon tag and can use our academy as a cover and comfort blanket.

What have the Chinese said again?

Substantially changed team from Weds. Recalls for Stephens, JWP and PEH who all played v well against Arsenal.

Got to be worth a try.

Strange line up.

VVD dropped…

Redmond plays…

30

Just spat out my champagne, what the fuck is that line up?

Is he smoking crack?

31

Similar line up to Arsenal and City games. Only real surprise is VVD being dropped.

32

Austin? The man has lost it.

33

I reckon his comments about being mentally prepared and ready were aimed at VVD who has made mistakes you eouldnt expect of someone of his standard.

Personally, I don’t like the look of that team. Fingers crossed…again.

Doesn’t suit this counter attacking system imho.

Ray fucking Charles doesn’t like the look of that shitting team.

I would have had Boufal instead of Redmond but otherwise it’s pretty much what I would have picked.

37

One thinks you’ve been on his pipe if you think we can counter attack with that team, Redmond is our outlet? That says it all, Jesus wept.

38

Our problem will be containing Hazard, Pedro and Willian. They were all excellent against huddersfield.

Need big games from Bert Rand and See-Saws too to push back Moses and Azpilicueta/Alonso.

3 at the back Bazza. The wingbacks will be the preferred outlet. Do you watch football?

So the wingbacks are going to counter attack? The ball will be given to Redmond from deep to him for run onto, the wingbacks may dovetail but they’re primarily be a bank of 5 not 3, yes I watch football, can play an average level, lets see how the game turns out and where the players are, in simpleton terms ball will be passed quickly for Redmond to run along the byline to cross into Gabbiadini as opposed to Austin as he is faster, the major stumbling block is that route can be nullifed by man marking and by the fact Redmond is 99% of the time absolute shit.
