ELMO, wtf. You have el Ghazi and Bolasie here for a reason. Bruce wanted Adomah off.. now he's starting. Kodjia is the only proven goal scorer we have and he's on the bench.

Jedi not at CB though..

I make that potentially 10 out of 11 playing in their correct position. Well done, Potatohead.

Looks more of a Bruce team when you realise it's Abraham in goal, a back 4 of McGinn, Jedi, Jack and Albert, and so on.

And for that reason I said 'potentially'. I wouldn't trust Bruce to sit the right way on a toilet.

If Full back Elmo is going to play wide, what exactly has El Ghazi done to get dropped from that wide position?

His name isn’t Elmo was his crime.

So he's dropped the one player to come out of the Sheffield United game with any form of credit?

Read the El Ghazi thread.

Looks like he may have started off on the wrong foot with Bruce.
