What team can we get out for the weekend?
Will there be any players subject to transfer speculation who unexpectedly don't play? Or unexpectedly do play?
You bringing Minteh back in? Who are you playing left back, given we don't have any?
----------Verbruggen
Lamptey Dunk Van Hecke Veltman...
Since we've been in the PL, how many penalties have we conceded and how many have been missed or saved by our keeper?
I'm happy to be corrected, (my memory for past games is poor), but I think our record is something like .......
Penalties conceded = approx 60
Penalties saved = 0
Penalties...
So the goals have dried up. We're shelling chance after chance after chance
Who would you have in the attacking 4 and where would you have them?
The way I see it ....
Pedro - Can't lead the line nearly as effectively as he link the midfield to the attack
Ferguson - Not in squad, and hasn't...
Do you think Hurzeler seems to go a little late on his subs?
I just think the intensity of “high press, high line, embrace the chaos up and down” type football means that we’re looking a little jaded in moments during matches. I understand some of this is due to players returning from injury...
In some ways this a funny assertion to start a thread, we’ve not conceded masses of goals. However we are coughing up a large number of high quality chances and it seems only a matter of time before we start conceding more than our forwards have a chance to get at the other end
I found last...
I ask the question because there seems to be a few low level injuries going into the season.
Some other the factors which may have contributed are still in place. A heavy playing workload, lots of international commitments, limited time away from football, an apparent high intensity pressing...
Are you going strong or rotating? I think a mixed approach.
I'm rotating out Gross, Dunk, Lamptey and Welbeck. I want Moder and Fati to get the minutes to get themselves match fit for our coming run of tough games. I want Veltman, Ferguson, Estupinan and Baleba to get the chance to play...
What do you think about this? Passing fad or effective modern defending technique?
I get it. Managers are wary of allowing an easy opportunity to get the ball into the box where it can pinball around and anything can happen.
But sorry. I’m a dinosaur. I hate it. For two reasons.
First, it...
Who should it be for the next three games?
Baleba? He’s not getting many minutes currently. Does RDZ trust him to do this?
Moder? Has usually be used further forward and I’m not sure he’s playing 3 in a row.
Lallana? Can’t even get his legs up when running any more, so even one central...
So how do you see this shaping up for the rest of the season?
Are you in the “Veltman Right Back , Estupinan Left Back all game, every game” camp? Or do you think more rotation is advisable / likely?
What are your thoughts on Pascal and Webby filling in at right back?
Are you surprised...
Who will leave the club on a permanent deal this summer?
Obviously lots of speculation on here about Mitoma and others who would attract a lot of money. But who else do you think?
Undav?
Scherpen?
Leonard?
Lamptey?
Moder?
Can you see any surprise exits?
Who is the best passer of the ball currently on the books? No poll, just the player you think and the reason.
I had a think about Pascal Gross, Billy Gilmour and Jason Steele But I settled on Lewis Dunk. OK, there's been a ricket or two, but some of those big diagonals are astonishing...
Do either the one you think it will be or the one you’d like to see
--------------Verbruggen
Hinshelwood -- Dunk -- Van Hecke --Igor
-------------Gilmour Baleba
------------------Gross
----Adingra ----Joao Pedro --- Mitoma
Subs = Steele / Milner / Kavanagh / Dahoud / Moder / Buonanotte /...
Help me with this. I keep having these thoughts about tomorrow, “a defeat, or a draw would have real positives”
This is coming from a place where I’m not so much focused on the chance of us winning the Europa League, more wanting to max out the largest number of possible glorious European...
If Lamptey and March are both fit who are you playing left back if Pervis is injured or need rotating?
Both involved in creating goals in their last match and both played tremendously well.
A very tight selection call in my opinion.

Wow we scored some scorchers last season. So much so i'm not even sure that the PL goal of the season should be our goal of the season. Certainly not if MacAllister's volley against Leicester...
You know what I mean. Those games where we were second best, but a few kind bounces of the ball or a dubious refereeing decision in our favour or the general rub of the green meant that we undeservedly got something out of the game. I'm trying to get a tally together of all of these. Which...
So this things about how we'd never beaten Chelsea in the league until this weekend, I admit I found that a bit embarrassing. It's the sort of stat you'd associate with Gillingham or Plymouth.
So i'm thinking about whether we have other stats, which you'd associate with the lower leagues where...
