I'm all for these kinds of teams until we start getting our best players back.

I'm expecting losses along the way but you can guarantee it's gonna be interesting as feck.

If this works he is a genius.

It probably won't. But neither would replacing Emerson, Gio and Bryan with Dier, Skipp and PEH.

 

[GetKaned]

Btw.. No English player in the starting lineup. I believe the last time it happened should be ages ago.

Excited to see Kulu as playmaker. Think this is his first time for us.

quite stunning the turnaround with Emerson. He’s mr utility now ahead of Davies. Looks like an attacking lineup and I hop Gil and Geo finally deliver on the promise

Pretty sure this happened already this season. Maybe twice.

I don't think any manager would be sitting there going... ahh the old 4 full backs 3 wingers trick, not seen that old chestnut for a while.

Mainly because it's bonkers.

Massive message to Dier and Hoijberg though. No future at the club.

Great to see Bryan start, is it his first one?

It's not bonkers if you don't think Dorrington is ready. Emerson isn't rapid but he has more pace than Dier does. My only slight concern is aerially with Davies being alongside him.

One of those games where your fantasy team takes an absolute battering lol. Score could be absolutely anything today.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

The optimist in me forces me to have £20 on Son to score from outside the area with a cheeky cockle on Kulusevski to do same.

If this comes off can someone tag me please? Big IF.

I'm unable to watch as i've been shanghai'd into running the A&Cette around as it's Elf week. Don't ask.

 

[nedley]

It's brave.

But big Ange may be opening himself to a little criticism if this goes tits up

 

[bbunc]

These next two are automatic losses anyway. May as well YOLO.

Did it ? Maddison has played all games until the wolves game right ? And in wolves game Dier played

No headers?

 

[Dr Know]

Even when Keane ain’t saying nothing bad, he still sounds like a twat. I can’t stand that twat!

Very pleasantly surprised by that selection from Ange. If we're going to lose let's at least lose playing some football. I don't think we'll be any better off result wise playing Skipp, PEH and Dier anyway. Makes me wonder whether he'd have thrown Phillips in had he been fit.

Here here.

1. As you say I don’t think we’d be any better off result wise playing Dier, PEH, Skipp etc anyway

2. Kudos to Ange for changing it up after 2 losses in a row and frankly a pretty poor performance away at Wolves which lacked our normal attacking threat and creativity.

Win, Lose, Draw today, this is the way forward.

This is the manager we have wanted and needed.

He is the Anti Jose/Conte.

He genuinely is To Dare is To Do.

2 high lines, tons of attacking players, let’s go and start fast, attack them with our crowd behind us and hopefully blitz them.

COYS

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Davies is not really a fullback anymore.

Not really a CB either ...

 

[Fidget]

Fantastic selection. Stick to guns or what??
Raised my mood for sure.

 

[Romulus]

Yeah it's gonna be tough.. But fuck it, I'm glad he's going for it

 

[Springerding]

Lets get the 3 points for for El Tel
