That's not a great looking side in my eyes.  Westwood and Cleverley are far too pedestrian, but Sanchez has been shocking for ages now, and Gil is all fart and no shit, so I understand dropping them both.  Lowton is rubbish, so god knows how he's going to do at left back which is presumably where he'll play.  I think we're in for a sound thrashing.
That's one hell of a brutal assessment Risso. I hope your not proved right today.
I must admit I'm not confident though.

Is there some sort of bonus loyalty card that gets used when it comes to dropping players? The more crap performances over the years, the less likelihood there is of being dropped, something along those lines.

The only real change I would have had in there is someone for Gabby. The defense picks itself really given the injuries. Depending on how fit Gil is and he didn't look 100% last week I'd have had him playing on the right of a midfield 3. That or throw Grealish in. I just hope we don't see the strategy from last week on how to get the ball to Benteke because not only was it ineffective it makes the eyes bleed watching it.

Grealish has looked fairly ineffective when I've seen him. I hope Gil has a part to play today. He seems to make stuff happen.

A really attacking team would have all three of Sinclair, Gil and Grealish as the 3 in a 4-2-3-1. I can understand why he's not gone for that today, however - the break might be very important.

Gil and Sanchez on the bench and Cleverley in the starting XI? Lambert back!  ;)
