The front three is an interesting choice. The players at Forest didn’t do enough so I can see why he changed it.

McGinn needs dropping.

I think I’d rather have Snodgrass and Adomah over Watkins and Bailey.

It did seem the day to bring Dendonker into the midfield, push Ramsey wide like we did against Man City and bench Buendia and Coutinho. I didn't count on Ings being re-animated instead of the extra body in the middle. He'll live or die on that hill.

Does McGinn have to start every game? I know he's captain, but do....

I can't be bothered. Where's the creativity?

Chilwell or Mount to score and do some sort of ridiculous hand gesture type celebration that Grealish will no doubt copy if he scores again before April.

Glad I’m missing this one. Good luck everyone, I’m having a long boozy lunch in Lisbon.

Yeah - why buy Dendonker if hes not going to play him in games like this

Dont get the line up - which normally translate to us being brilliant so fingers crossed

Boycotting today's game in a protest about Gerrard.

It definitely isn't because I'm hung over, honest.

Didn't Gerrard say in his presser that Archer may have to have an op but it's being put-off/they're unsure when to do it?

Maybe it's been decided to bring it forward or maybe he has genuine discomfort there. He would almost certainly be on the bench if he felt ok to play.
