In guess the crowd I put 35200, but that may be optimistic looking at the unsold seats

Martinez to Mings, Mings to Konza, Konza to Cash, Cash lumps the ball forward straight to the opposition. Rinse, repeat.

I can't wait.

I expect Torres to be playing in this, not that it will make much difference.

It definitely won't if he distributes the ball like he did at the PL game Brentford. He was better in the cup game to be fair. Bologna completely stood off us last season so Torres is the correct call tonight.

Is Bizot likely to play?

That aside

Cash, Lindelof, Torres, Maatsen
Kamara, Bogarde
Elliot, McGinn, Sancho
Watkins

Push McGinn forward to get a hard press on them.
Why wouldnt Konsa start?

Not really. Charge stupid prices and a lot of people won't bother going.

I suspect a combination of we already played them last year and us being shit so far this season has put people off spending £60+.

Also rough start to the season, general feeling of flatness, and a fixture played last season. Add in the price and plenty working against it.

Would have gone but having felt a bit pissed off about the clubs attitude to fans last season I really can't be bothered and probably won't bother this season.
