Great as it looks like we will stay up. Not sure I am so happy that after 3 years in PL and £160m spend we have Connelly as our first choice centre forward. Appreciate resting Maupay but just shows how weak we are up front

You're probably spot on, unless it's a 3 or 5 at the back with Montoya at LWB? Surely not? Surely? But maybe?

EDIT - am getting that purely from the order in the team photo which has Lamptey first outfield player

Montoya has played LB 9 times for Barcelona.

Montoya has played LB in a Champions League semi final.

Do you know what, I fancy Connolly to do well tonight.

He’s overdue a really good game, hopefully he puts in a Spurs performance.

You'll be happier once he's put two past de Gea....

Looking into my crystal ball, I see Propper giving the ball away in midfield leading to a Man United goal.

I’ve now thrown the ball out the window.

We’ve forgotten how good he is when not carrying an injury.

That said, I think Potter has got a massive 5-sub loaded plan B up his sleeve for the 2nd half!

We could be using an inverted full back against an inverted forward. Too many teams have let Greenwood cut in from the right, get onto his stronger left foot and let him score this season.

I think he’ll be used at right back with Lamptey right wing.

Connolly's pace with an over the top through ball should be great against slow coach slab head Maguire.

As somebody said Bernardo must be really crap in training. Cant be happy to see 2 right backs selected. As for Ali assume he doesnt even turn up. He scored 2 goals in 4 games and hasnt been seen since

Sky's coverage is absolutely predictable and boring. Only analysing Man U. We get a mention once, when they look at the lineup and then back to discussing Mean U. Boring and disrespectful.

So After 15 minutes Dale gives the first needless yellow card away:shrug: still at least Biss is on the pitch to show him how to be a bit saucey and get away with it.My other concern would be Montoya,but hey ho.
