I think that's the team, not just SVC's prediction

Clacker in midfield? Good if true. We need bite there. Would have paired him with Sanchez though, not Vivienne.

Didn't Sherwood suggest going with a 3 CB system and employing 2 wing backs. Gabby and Gestede up front in what looks a 3-5-2.

Mr Sox you need to pull your socks up with the Match Threads and get us off this shit streak we've been on.

He needs to decide whether to play Guzan or Bacuna in goal fairly sharpish.

Yeah I think this could work well. No kozak even on the bench? Did I miss an injury or something?

Not the biggest fan of Guzan right now but I wouldn't drop him for Bacuna. Bit harsh.

The format of Stan's tweet suggests 4-1-4-1

They might both do a better job if they switched round.

I thought we might lose this before I saw that line up. Now I'm really think we will.

Not happy with that team at all

Still possibly a 4-3-3?

Rudy up top with Sinclair and gabby down the wings.

I would try the 3-5-2 though, could work well with Bacuna and Amavi As out and out wing backs.
