In 20 odd years I don't think I've ever started one of these.
I'm thinking (hoping) we will go with a three man midfield this weekend, with Morgan, Field and Varane. Coventry scored five last weekend! We can't afford to concede too early, and will need to score first to get anything out of it IMO. An early Coventry goal, supporters getting aggy... gulp.
We all want a box-to-box no. 8, but these players are high value and not easy to sign on the cheap. He's young, and a bit slight, but I wonder if we need to start thinking about cultivating Morgan in this role as a long term solution? We know he can get stuck in, he's got bags of energy, and popped up with an absolute thunder-bastard last weekend.
Poku being out actually makes this an easier decision to make, because we can play Chair and Dembele either side of Burrell (or Kone if fit) without agonizing over who gets left out.
Presumably Dunne returns at RB, Esquardinho returns at LB, and Morrison and Mbengue start at CB.

Damn, I had Kolli on 63, but they subbed him. |
Stats saying we had 7 shots. I think they were all tequila | | | |

Dembele cramp did anyone have 81 mins? |
Exact same time the last three games. The guy must have a nutritional deficiency if this keeps happening. It’s on the manager though, he decided to keep him on | | | |

Think all these ‘injuries’ might actually be votes of no confidence in the manager? The players aren’t having him are they? |  |

Flights home delayed due to air traffic control strikes. |  |

The fans shouldn’t be having the players, the manager, the CEO or the board. This is an absolute disgrace. The mentality at this club has been wrong for so many years. | | | |

I think this is the clubs biggest loss ever?
West Brom did us 7-1 in 2018. | |

Can we now stop playing Football Manager and p!55ing about with projects, and allow the coach to pick a team to do the job.
If that was the coach's fault, then what went wrong with Data Boy's recruitment algorithm? | | | |
