IMO if we're playing this possession based game at home then Grealish and Joe Cole need to be starting so interested to see how those two do today.

I'd be more confident of those two creating something in advanced roles than Weimann or Gabby.

One striker?! Can't we get Nat to switch sides and play up front with Chris? He would feel lich more comfortable playing in claret and blue at VP.

Gary Gardner is back aswell, interested to see if he gets a sub appearance.

Not too upset with that team.

Even Given should be able to cope with that Blackpool team.

Better team. Gabby and Weimann had to be dropped.

Would've still liked to see Bacuna in the central trio as you still need a bit of pace in the team. Otherwise yeah let's see how this looks creative wise.

Why Cleverley? We know he's shit. Why not start with Gardner? We haven't seen if he's good or shit yet. (Or has he been injured recently)

It if the manager makes too many changes he gets accused of not taking it seriously...
