The thinking behind guessing Steele over Button?

One of the best compliments you can give a footballer. I always remember that if Zamora didn't take penalties i'd have had no idea which foot he preferred after 4 seasons of watching him

Anyway, i'm sure most are on here for some idle speculation about the line up tomorrow, so i'll back out of any further discussion

The postscript to this is that I don't have anywhere near the sums I was quoting, and certainly not to bet. If he'd have called my bluff I would have had to have backed down in quite an embarrassing fashion.... But I knew he wouldn't, because as you say, it's all very easy talking down to...

But you wouldn't be giving it away would you. You'd be betting against someone showing "crass stupidity" who has "no self awareness" Surely you couldn't lose a bet under those circumstances

Because in any given game anything could happen. But over the course of the season, we will clearly be outperformed by them. We will be outperformed, because they have better players than us. They have better players than us because they pay higher wages and transfer fees. They are...

That is one example of a club who spent and underperformed. Occasionally there will be an example of a club who spent a little and overperform. On AVERAGE the biggest spending clubs will gravitate to the top of any given the league and the smallest will gravitate towards the bottom. If you...

Are you contending that money spent doesn't affect what results you get and where you are likely to finish in the league? Occasionally yes you get a decent player on the cheap like Gross. Sometimes yes, a non league team gets through to the 4th round of the FA Cup. On average money spent...

Saw the West Ham game last week after the rugby But generally, they've not started well. Doesn't mean they're not formidable opponents who not beating indicates we're in trouble

You're assuming he is half fit. Others are assuming he is fully fit, that's why they are playing him. None of us know, but he could be 100% right and raring to go If fully fit, would you play Trossard? If so, for who?

You're right mate, we should be beating teams like Everton. A club who've been in the top division for longer than most of us have been alive A club who must have spent £300+m on the squad A club who's wage bill must be approaching double ours A club who haven't been in serious danger of...

Picking Duffy or bong not ridiculous. Playing Duffy doesn't automatically mean dropping Webster. Bong would be more(ahem) left field. I suppose the logic would be he is our only fit left back. Dan burn has been terrific, but he's out if position there and in my view, much more comfortable in a...

I'm thinking this is possible as well. It's not unusual for a young player to come in, get a taste of the first team then come out. With Trossard coming back, someone who seriously does not deserve to be dropped will be dropped, if not against Everton then sometime soon. Last week it was...

You really don't want ali j on that subs bench do you? Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Different teams for different formations. Assuming Trossard fit but not Bernardo. Whatever formation, I’m dropping Montoya and Propper If 4222 then --------------Ryan Webster Dunk Duffy Burn -----Alzate Stephens ------Gross Trossard -----Maupay Connolly (that backline should be a threat...
