I would assume Watkins will play wide with Buendia out?
fuck knows.
I think we will be playing mainly without the ball.

Who the heck is T O’Reilly?

Tommi O'Reilly a young Irish left-sided attacking midfielder who's impressed Gerrard and been promoted to training with the first team.
Irish?
Never have guessed.

Was it the 'i' in Tommi that gave it away?

Not sure how McGrath feels about it tbh, nothing on his Twitter yet.

Why did purchase Leon Bailey if we are going to platoon Ollie out wide..

He is from the U23’s, Gerrard rates him highly (right back, I think)

U18s actually.

I stand corrected…thank you

What the hell is wrong with everybody, calm down. I don't like Watkins and Ings up front anymore than others but we had 20 shots on goal last week and didn't test their keeper once. I'd have personally played the extra midfielder but let's see how it goes.

Distinctly underwhelmed. Yet again. Hope I'm wrong.

We are going to out passed to death. This midfield couldn’t keep up with Newcastle. Brighton will have 70-80% possession early on and likely 60:40 for the game.

Prove me wrong SG but I think that is a very poor team selection.
