If Whelan is back, he should walk straight back into the team. Bojan out Imbula in.

343 for me. Grant Shawcross Bruno Pieters Johnson Allen Imbula Arnautovic Shaqiri Bony Bojan Bony should be fed from that.... Early start catch them off guard... Possibly the most randomly desperate team selection ever - unfamiliar formation, three at the back, no specialist DM, a right footed no 10 on the left wing and a central midfielder that can't actually get on the pitch as he's suspended. Apart from that....no sorry, bonkers

The players owe MH a performance tomorrow. I'd go with
Grant
Johnson Shawcross Indi Pieters
Whelan Adam
Arnautovic Shaqiri Sobhi
Bony

343 for me. .. Early start catch them off guard... Possibly the most randomly desperate team selection ever - unfamiliar formation, three at the back, no specialist DM, a right footed no 10 on the left wing and a central midfielder that can't actually get on the pitch as he's suspended. Apart from that....no sorry, bonkers Yeah the Allen suspension threw me plan of surprize into disarray. It required a re-think. Though the injury to Bardsley has once again brought it back into me thoughts. Swap Whelan {fingers crossed} for the suspended Joe Allen, it's a goer. Bojan and Shaq would operate as two No.10's effectively, cutting in etc like we do do. Creating for and running off Bony, the width would also still come from Arnie. You often see Bojan drifting in from the left, he's as comfortable either side imo, ideally him and Shaq could switch a bit. {Bowen mentioned it pre season}. I reckon Diouf would be effective in that role too, or Arnie {with Eric wing back.} Hopefully Pieters, Imbula and Bojan as appropriate covering Arnie's arse on his forays. It wouldn't be a huge difference from what he does now. Pieters and the back three to be more disciplined. No need for Pieters to be overlapping etc in such a set up. A bit more rehearsing and it'd work I tell the. {We beat a Wallmart XI with it 5-0 preseason.} All in theory obv. Any system depends on performances on the day etc etc. As for Imbula, well if he ain't ready then it's Adam, or sub/share it. Yeah I'd give it a go, away at Watford, early kick off against a trad 442 {probably}. Run at em screaming, catch them on the hop, take the sting out of em etc.. Grant Shawcross Bruno Pieters Johnson Whelan Imbula* Arnautovic Shaqiri Bojan Bony *Adam the 343 xmas tree or whatever. Conte stylee.

Grant Back four Imbula Whelan/Muniesa Adam Shaqiri Bojan Arnie
Yep. No out ball but Bony wasn't winning most of his headers last week anyway.

Adam and Whelan as the two DMs will be OK, but Adam and Imbula will be catastrophic. So it has to be
Johnson (or Bardsley) Indi Shawcross Pieters Whelan (or Muniesa) Adam Arni Shaqiri Sohbi Bony (or Bojan)
I think I'll have a stroke if he brings on Walters or Crouch, but you know he will.

I will be amazed if we get anything out of this game.Hughes has had a respite the previous few weeks against the three worst teams atm in the prem.Last week normal service was resumed and it will continue today.Wonder what ridiculous team he will pick today?

I'm just desparate for something - I was absolutely gutted by the result last week and, the way it was achieved.
we need something on Sunday to restore the balance
and with some luck, win away ourselves again

Eggy bread -and to say even imply, last weeks result was 'Hughes fault' - laughable !
in spite of all the cheating - the diving - the gamesmanship an incredibly poor refereeing performance and a penalty belted against the bar in the home end
we'd have won that easily, with the team he picked

His players let him down badly and just didn't perform. They owe him big time. On paper we look stronger than Watford we just need to apply ourselves be disciplined and put the effort in.

Hope our line will look like this tomorrow!
................Grant................. Johnson.....Shawx....Indi......Pieters .........Adam...........Imbula Ramadan........Shaqiri..........Arnie ...............Bony..................
Don't want to start with Imbula, Shaq and Bojan as that gives too little protection. Think Ramadan is miles better defensively than Shaq as well, and I have wanted to try Shaq in that position for a long time now. Maybe Shaq and Ramadan can swop place as well if it doesn't work out.
Subs: Bachman, Muni, Taylor, Diouf, Walters, Crouch.

With Ryan potentially out this means that Muni must start as Cameron wont be ready. So annoying with the injuries and suspensions. The team Id go for would be: Grant- Butland wont be ready yet and Lee is reliable enough, he could do with improving his kicking but other than that he's decent cover.
Johnson- Rushed back but he's quality and the ONLY RB we have other than Phil! Muni- Time to shine pal Bruno- Quality, hopefully he puts Deeney in his pocket like he did with Ibra Eric- Mr reliable
Imbula- Time to shine. Whelan- pray to god he's fit.
Shaq Bojan Arnie
Bony
