Gallas and Livermore starting
Defoe up front on his own
No VDV or Verthongen
Not impressed

Vertonghen and Rafa on the bench - Jeez!
Still, good experience in that back four and boy do we need it today as we will undoubtedly be tested and then hopefully Bale, Sigurdsson and Lennon can strike on the break.
Hope more than expectation of a result here but lets try and be positive - at least it's not 442!

we want to win the game, not get vertonghen used to the league - away at newcastle for his first game would have been a big ask. With Parker out and King now retired, we need an experienced head.
AVB must have been tempted to put Caulker on the bench after his England call up as well as Verts, but he's made a decision and gone with a bench which provides cover for every single posiition.
The right call.

Jesus. All you fucking doom and gloom merchants. Can you nor just see how we go with our new manager, tactics, formation and team before you start predicting our downfall. Look at what west brom are doing to Liverpool today.
We have a good nucleus of a team . Obviously not ideal up front but we are going into a game with a striker that has scored over 100 goals for us and not far off one of the most dynamic and solid midfields in the league. Ffs.

My god looking at that team how far backwards have we gone in the three months since last season ended. Can't see us getting anything today! Levy has a lot to answer for!

It makes some sense to make changes gradually. Gallas and Kaboul know eachother, it's a backline that is familiar. Away at Newcastle I am OK with it. Vertonghen will start our first home game I'm sure.

That's pretty depressing , not optimistic of even a draw now
Don't understand, What were you expecting?
Only minor surprise for me is no VDV. Vertonghen has looked dodgy pre season so much as I expected.

We should be able to get at the Newcastle defence. They will miss Coliccini. It's a sensible lineup and I would expect us to get a draw. COYS
