After the Tottenham match the approach of tomorrow's fixture has the feeling of falling off a horse. You have to get back on again quickly to regain your confidence and show control over the horse. Its never easy and you can understandably be nervous, but you have to be determined. If you are going to enjoy riding again and be good at it, just get back into the saddle and take up the reins. Its the same situation for Stoke after such an abject collapse last week. Get ready for Buckaroo tomorrow then

Given Johnson - Ryan - Bruno - Eric/Muniesa Sobhi/Bojan - Whelan - Allen - Arnie Bony - Diouf/Bojan
442 with proper wingers and goal scorers. We need to out score them cos we're not keeping a clean sheet.

Because yo've made no attempt to either centre it or even make it into a proper shape. I'm just a bit fed up of seeing broken full backs expected to carry the burden of the attack.

Haha I actually did take alot of time to centre everything and try and make it into the formation I like but it just came out like that!! Could be because I'm on my phone

I have nothing logical to base this on at all, but I have a sneaking suspicion that we will nick this game 1-0 with a late counter-attacking breakaway goal from Bojan. Right now that sounds good. I'd be even happier if we sneaked it 4-0 mind.

Haven't read much of the thread but I'll wade in with my opinion
I'm convinced Pieters has to be dropped and Muniesa deserves a call in his place
I'm also convinced the back 4 don't need Whelan protecting them. They simply need the team to defend as a unit.
So drop Whelan. Put Imbula next to Allen and either Bojan or Adam as th attacking midfielder.
Imbula is best starting from deep. And i've no idea why he's been played in the attacking midfielder role. Allen was surely bought to replace Whelan so let's finally see it
We've been royally boned in pretty much every game in the league so far for one reason or another. So stop fucking about experimenting Hughes. Get your best 11 on the pitch and give them time to gel properly.
Here's hoping tomorrow brings 3 points. We fucking need them

If Diouf is fit he'll pay wide right for sure. I fear the worst tomorrow. Here's hoping we perform and don't capitulate if we go a goal down. The senior players with heart need to step up to the plate. We need to defend as a unit and attack as a unit. We have a front man who if given the right service will score. However it's time for management to get the players to deliver.

Charlie & Ramadan have to start in this match.
Imbula can stay at home eating his Sunday roast as far as I'm concerned. He can watch the game on TV.

Given
Bardsley, Shawcross, Bruno, Pieters (unfortunately)
Whelan, Allen Ramadan, Adam/Bojan, Arnautovic
Bony
Need two holding midfielders, Allen needs to be told exactly where he's playing, not trying to cover every blade of grass, as much as I admire his work rate.
I'd definitely pick Bardsley ahead of Cameron but if Johnson's fit in the next week or so, he'd probably get the shirt.
Unsure which way to go between Adam and Bojan, I think they both offer more of what we need than Imbula. I'd probably go with Adam purely because he's a bit tougher.

I'm expecting a defeat so anything else will be welcomed with open arms. Interested to see if there's a reaction from us today (more shots, more fight, scoring 1st etc) or continuation of the same rubbish.

So no goals from open play this season but no clean sheet if we were to draw would you rather we got a 0-0 or a 4-4
