Good to see Dougie Lou make his full debut. That's at least the midfield we all wanted.
Only thing I can think is with Luiz starting, which I didn’t expect, meaning SJM/JG changing position smith wants to avoid making too many changes at once.
My guess with Marvellous is that he didn’t train much with Brugge before he joined us. Remember all those strike stories that came out because he felt Brugge lied to him or something. So he simply may not be as fit as the club needs at the moment.
Happy with the team, although Mark Lawrenson says we will be fine this season, which is a bit worrying!

He did play in AFCON and Luiz was training on a beach for two weeks so can't think his core fitness is that much better.Still hourihane wasn't too bad last week at DM so he can be o.k coming on to see last half hour if we're winning.

Now Alan McInally is picking faults in last weeks game and saying we will concede too many goals.
I don't have a problem with that team actually. Elmo and Taylor put in decent shifts at Spurs and don't deserve dropping. It also keeps the same back four together.
Needs to start playing Guilbert. It's doing my Fantasy team no good at all!
