3-5-2 possibly. The undroppable Westwood, remains er... undropped and all the creativity remains on the bench

Creeps can play across the back four, so assuming he is a CB today

Not sure about that. Seems a strange team.

Can someone inform me what position Crespo is? Presumably a midfielder? Defensive? Attacking? Out wide? We signed so many I can't remember where everyone plays.

So five at the back, at home to Stoke?

Another week another strange selection and formation. This better work.

Presumably Crespo is a defender then from the way you guys are talking? Even stranger team selection then.

We looked good under TS when we attacked teams, so not sure why he's trying to move away from that?

I'm assuming it's five at the back, no creativity and bloody Westwood starts again. Not impressed.

A midfield of the Crab, Vertetout and Gueye, I can't see where any kind of chances are going to come from apart from pinpoint Amavi overlaps. With no Grealish we will also get to see again the most shit corner kicks possible.

It's disappointingly a very conservative approach. We all hope we are wrong but the recent defeats appear to have scared Sherwood into behaving like McLeish or Lambert. I can see a fist pump at the end of this when we finish 0-0.

Random line up !

If 3 centre halves surely Bacuna a better bet than Hutton ?

Strong bench at least, assume Gabby, Traore and Clark unfit

How he doesn't start Ayew at home is beyond me. Does he draw the names from a tombola?
