How much would Townsend cost lads in your opinion?

Noooooooo someone punch me in the face this can't be true it's a nightmare ain't it

Our midfield is fine imo. It's Gabby and Weimann which are holding us back. They are nowhere near good enough

Not sure if Alan Hutton or Philip Lahm!

Lads I think we have finally found a new Steve Staunton cissohko is his name lol

Didn't want to see gabby starting tbh bit underwhelmed with the line up but come on villa cole n the rock will come on at some point utv

Sanchez needs to play in that DM role because it is something we've wanted for a long time now. I'd stick with that 4-3-3 formation which allows us to have 4 attacking players. I'd be happy with something like this for now:

--------------------------GUZAN------------------------

HUTTON---VLAAR--SENDEROS--CISSOKHO

-----------------------SANCHEZ-----------------------

---------------GREALISH--DELPH-------------------

N'ZOGBIA-------------------------------------GABBY

-----------------------WEIMANN------------------------

When Benteke is back I would drop whoever isn't playing well out of those front three. Grealish is questionable for many because of his age/inexperience but, he could be exchanged with Bacuna, Richardson, Westwood, Cole, Gardner and any of the other 3 in the above line-up. Okore is waiting int he wings to cover one of the central back two. We have Richardson to cover left back and Bacuna or Lowton ready to cover right back.

To be fair, we are in a much better place as a squad than we have been for some time.

I'd sooner have

Gk Guzan

RB Hutton

Lb ci ci Sam Miguel cissohko

Cb senderos

Cb vlaar

Dcm Westwood

Cm delph

Cm cole

Lam grealish

Ram n zogbia

Fwd weimann

4-1-4-1 style

No gabby !!!

I think grealish will have a similar impact to Barkley and januzi lol this season the lad is class

the way i look at it, we appear to have strengthened all over the park from the end of the season, or at least increased our options and with tekkers and libor kozak due back sooner rather than later, i'm liking the way things are looking....

i'm particularly liking our defensive line up relative to last season.... hutton vlaar okore sissokho just has a much stronger feel to it.... with a quality keeper like guzan behind them and a genuine DCM in front of them in sanchez that seems like a defence that will keep us in games this season.... and with reasonable back up in all of those positions - lowton / bacuna at RB, senderos, clark, baker, herd in the middle and richardson / clark / bennett at LB, even the inevitable injuries scare me less....

going forward, i think we're going to be better as well... sanchez will free up delph and westwood if he plays going forward and then we have creativity for the first time in a while in zoggy, cole, richardson, grealish.... most importantly, it gives PL the ability not to play gabby and andi week in week out if they're not performing....

sure we're missing a real strike threat, but DB9 is still a scorer, and we will have our two front liners back soon.... at that point, we're as good as anyone outside of the top six or seven....

bring on the season and UTV....

Just got back from the game I agree gabby just dosent look arsed one bit jack was awesome I don't think he lost the ball once and he skipped past his man every time he is gonna be special ! Just play him

Just to annoy everyone -

Baker

Baker Baker Baker Baker

Baker Baker Baker Baker

Baker Baker

We'd win the Conference with that team!

If the next manager is the right manager......he will know what to do, we won't have to worry about it....we just need to turn up.

Guzan

New. Vlaar. Okore New

Westwood. Delph

New. New. New.

Kozak/beast

I think we'll have similar defensive issues if we keep vlaar and Westwood and delph as our holding players.

Guzan

New. Vlaar. Okore New

Westwood. Delph

New. New. New.

Kozak/beast

Shit tactics end of **** gabby 56k a week FFs and weimann off only vlaar delph Guzan should remain they deserve the shirt

P

I thought al Ahmadi showed up well today and were so much better balanced with Bertrand in the team well chuffed today keep it boys

Heskey double feck me

Hensley double feck me

Heskkkkkkyyyyyyyy gooooaaaaallll

Can't wait for libor too come back so we can sell this idle barsteward

I agree he looked like a quality midfielder today I'm not his biggest fan but credit where credits due that was much much better keep it up son

Westwood was obviously injured, but if Sylla is the answer, I don't want to know what the question is.

Only central midfield option on the bench.

If it pans out Bertrand coming off was tactical lambert can feck right off benteke can **** off aswell the lazy **** he made colocini look look look bolt Clara must think feck this for a game of soldiers another tv smashed FFs
