5-3-2 - two attacking full backs, or 3-5-2 however you wish to look it. Right now, that's about as strong as we are going to be. Maybe Sylla/Bacuna for KEA.

Agreed, JP. I can't believe El Ahmadi is playing again.

Bacuna was one of the better players against Sunderland and did ok in midfield. Christ on a bike it's depressing seeing KEA in the side again. I'm not entirely sure why Lambert wants to give us such an immobile midfield with KEA and Westwood both in there.
That aside it's about as strong a side as we could probably put out, which isn't saying much.

Not fancying tonight at all. I'm hoping Gabby has one of his excellent games. That's where our best hopes lie probably. Benteke looks way, way off, but we'll see what he does.
