Why not? We may as well go for it.

Whether the players concerned actually try, and give 100% is another thing.

Gil and Grealish is all very well, but they won't get the ball while Gestede is there. His attempt at a 'pass' in the Norwich game still haunts my nightmare.

Gestede with Gil /Grealish behind just not sure how that will work he lacks movement to get onto through passes and they lack pace to get wide and cross

Much prefer  the look of that team compared to the side put out at Norwich.
Cissoko though? I thought he wasn't eligible yet? Oh well, welcome home.

Bacuna and Veretout have good pace and engines. Bacuna lacks even 10% of Jordans quality, but I would hope they will hit the box.

The conservative approach hasn't worked. This isn't the opposite but clearly the most aggressive line up Garde has sent out. They are shit at the back so we can get in behind them. Let's get some crosses into Gestede and see what happens. I have no idea anymore what is a good line up but any time Richardson isn't in it is a massive plus.

Let's have a good game Jack. Still time for you to redeem yourself and be a hero for your club.
