Awful selection, Mings, Digne and Barkley?

[jwarry]

Barkley for Dougie, interesting

[Rigadon]

Barkley to try and play the Tielemans role then?  Bit of a surprise Luiz being ok the bench

[Brazilian Villain]

Not the line-up I was expecting. It doesn't fill me with confidence.

[PaulWinch again]

Oh no - Mings at the back is a big mistake. I can’t see anything but the norm here. It’s nice to see McGinn back and I’m guessing Doug needs a break, but I foresee us finding it very difficult out of the back and facing waves of pressure.

Prove me wrong please Villa.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Mings is a puzzle.And Cashy must have failed a fitness test

[PaulWinch again]

Pau enables us to pass out of the back and organises the back line. We’ll make errors trying to play out the back and they’ll run in behind Bogarde and Digne because we won’t have a disciplined defensive line.

[Cliftonville Villlain]

Too much to ask for a decent ref? Just for once at this shithole?

[Duncan Shaw]

All I can think is Pau is't fully fit to play twice in a few days?  We were SO much more composed with him in on Thursday.

[Sexual Ealing]

I have zero confidence in us today. They're all shit and couldn't finish a wank. 10-0 if we're lucky.

[Duncan Shaw]

Yep, Anthony Taylor!!

I agree it is an interesting line up.

Given we have won at OT 3 times in the last 50 years, I am not holding out too much hope. Even last year when we were great, and they were really shit, we managed to shit the bed and come away with nothing.

Hope I am wrong, we need a result, what with Chelsea doing their best to help us out.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Shouldn't we have a GUESS THE PEN competition?
I'll go with 93 mins.
