4-5-1? Ollie out wide maybe?

Sanson on bench which is interesting. Good to see ings back. Im guessing ollie on left and buendia on right.

Bailey dropped. Dont look that 3 in the middle ill be honest. But not many options

[andyh]

Sansons alive then.

Trying to work out what Brighton have done, looks like 3 at the back for them with Trossard as a false 9. Maupay on the bench.

More confident now than I was 10 minutes ago, think we can win this 2-1.

Sansons alive then.

I read that in a Brian Blessed voice

Sansons alive then.

Apparently rumours he died on Space Mountain were an over-exaggeration

4-5-1? Ollie out wide maybe?

As most of our attacking play comes down the right there's no reason why Ollie can't get himself into the box to feed off the service. Buendia and Cash need to make sure they deliver.

Plus ça change...

4-3-3… or a diamond with Buendia in 10? Interesting…

[mrfuse]

4-5-1? Ollie out wide maybe?

I would say 4-3-3.

[Chris_Jephcott]

It looks like a 4-3-3 initially. Will be interesting to see how this plays out!

[sickbeggar]

Looks defensive to me.

Apart from leaving Bailey out, not sure there were many decisions to make here. Has to go with that midfield, despite it looking a bit weak. Wonder when Sanson reported that he’d hurt himself on holiday, if he was told to get his arse over here.
