Locadia on a hiding to nothing again.

Where's Andone?

Glad to see Locadia given responsibility. The game is a free hit, so might as well see if he can do it at the highest level! Would have like to see Ali J start over March on the same basis too.

I hope we've got a good penalty taker out there, just in case :D

Hanging Jurgen out to dry, today, so he can be dropped in favour of Andone on Friday.

Starting Locadia is presumably because we're not expecting our striker to touch the ball more than three times and Murray is therefore being saved from either running around pointlessly or dying of boredom, or both.

I assume he's the victim of Izquierdo being fit and Locadia starting. Murray has to drop to the bench and the wingers are the only two "midfielders" on the bench. Again, probably not the game to blood him anyway. I fully expect Locadia to be every bit as effective as he was against Liverpool away last season in that formation.

I know in all likelihood we're going to get smashed but there's a little part of me bubbling away with confidence that we're going to get a (positive) result.

I wonder how long into the game that will last?

I think we will really know his fate today - subbed before half time and hes outa here...

The way this game is going to pan out Messi could be subbed at half time and nobody will notice.

Big Jurg will only touch the ball 4 times in the first half, it'll be a cracking hat-trick.
