Eddington

Nail on the head about the Chelsea game, preserving our goal difference or grabbing a draw is the best we can hope for the way they're playing at the moment. I can however see us picking a point, maybe even three against Arsenal. Physically we will beat them no doubt, along with the discipline in our play currently I think we can soak most pressure they throw at us. We just have to get it tactically correct on the day I think, gonna be a tight one though.

Why did this make me laugh so much? Same here

I rate Spurs very highly, will be extremely difficult to get anything out of this game for us. 2-1 Spurs.

Good. Yep. The more we stay under the radar, and people write us off, the better I say. Couldn't agree more. I would definitely put us down as one of the darkhorse's this year, many pundits were putting us down for relegation at the start of the season, which I wasn't surprised with. We have depth all over the field now, I'm feeling very optimistic about this season. Like I said though, can see a 0-0 draw all over this game.

Going to be an extremely tight game. Can see Soton putting alot of men behind the ball, still confident in the team though. 1-0 win.

Haha, I had a really good feeling we were going to burst Swansea's bubble. Not as good a' performance as I would've expected, finishing wise. We weren't clinical enough for my liking, should've won 4-0. That will come in time though, granted. Happiest positive I can take out this game is having a comfortable defense and goalkeeper, I'm less worried with them all. Quality defense in the making, absolutely loving Guzan aswell. Good result, hopefully we can keep this run going as a few 'winnable' games are in sight.

3-1 win. Can see us dominating this game. Swansea, defensively are so poor. Really can't see anything but a win here for us, got that feeling that it might go our way.

Lichaj is slow off the mark, alot like Bale. Bale is at his fastest when he is in full flow running at defenders; Maicon v Bale.

Indeed. I'm more than pleased with Lambert's selections, it's just a couple of the picks are abit odd. Trust in Lambert, as it were. I think the main reason I'm pleased, is that we don't have to witness a team with 10 defenders on the pitch like last season.

I think he's done the right thing as Lichaj is a better full back than either Clark or Baker, even if he is right footed; but he's got no pace at all. Indeed, compared to other PL fullbacks he is quite slow. Compared to our fullbacks however, he is behind Lowton & Bennett with the most speed. Baker did a decent job at FB against the Hammers but against Everton I felt he came to far infield and left alot of space on the touchline. Baker is definitely not a full back, I think he gets put out there because he's left footed - Clark's problem is that physically he's neither quick enough for full back or big enough for centre back. Lichaj is our best option at the moment, hopefully Bennett proves to be a player. Couldn't agree more. I can El Ahmadi & Bannan holding in midfield, worried we don't have enough bite with both of them being there though. Would loved to have seen Westwood on the bench, understandable though due to no PL experience. Surprised Herd was left out aswell, could've gave us abit of protection in the second half when Bannan inevitably gets subbed.

He did the right thing putting Lichaj at LB, we need some pace at fullback to keep up with their wingers. Although, Clark over Baker? Baker in fine form and Clark hasn't had gametime since last week.

Subs include; Given, Baker, Agbonlahor, N’Zogbia, Burke, Bowery, Williams.

Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Lichaj, Holman, KEA, Ireland, Bannan, Weimann, Bent.

Baker dropped? Lichaj at LB? Really is a tough call who to put at LB. I think Guzan deserved the call up, will keep Given hungry to get his no.1 spot back.
