It's bizarre how how every non performing player is droppable except Wesley. How is Elmo in ahead of Guilbert? That fetaherweight midfield with Jack on the wing is going to take a kicking.

Also whenever we have a player that might return from injury, you just fucking know there isnt a chance that he will.

WHY is Jack out wide?

I doubt he is.

Moan about Nkamba, El Ghazi and Trezuguet being poor. Said players get dropped. Players replaced. Moan about replacements.

I'm not going to bother switching my phone off until the game is shown at 9pm. I'm pessimistic with a team sheet like that.

Precisely.
Kodjia is obviously dead to him.

He was always going to tinker with it seeing as we only played two days ago. Not sure about Lansbury, I think Nakamba would have been better.

I'm guessing that's back to 4-3-3 then, with Jack and Jota either side of Wesley?

Is Smith going for the world record in how many different permutations of a midfield 3 it's possible to play in one season?

What has Guilbert done wrong? I thought the yellow cards were no longer an issue today.

In what world is Elmo possibly better than Guilbert?

must admit I don’t understand that one either

That is not a good team. Midfield looks weak. Lansbury is not good enough or Jota. Jack wasted wide. Looks 4-3-3 again, which I don’t think is good enough. I really hope Dean knows what he’s doing

Today was the day to rest Wesley without losing face for Dean, pop him on the bench and change things up. It could give him a kick start of he comes on or returns against Burnley.

Hope he bangs in a couple to shut us all up, but I maintain than the managers intransigence in the face of all the evidence will see him out of a job.

Not sure where he plays then, looks 4-3-3 to me
