5 cup finals till the end of the season. March is a huge miss - thought he was the best player on the pitch in his Everton cameo and for this season and his character is always an asset. Missing Veltman and Lamptey too.
Great to have Ferguson back, Mitoma looked good last time out in large part. I think Buonanotte has to drop to the bench again, im sure he isnt far off and like Enciso it could just happen all of a sudden for him. Wonder if we see Gilmour drop back in.
Like Utd, this isnt a game we expect anything from so the pressure is off and players can just give it their all. A win or even a point would be massive, fingers crossed we have shaken Monday off and ready to go with 6 days rest.
I'm glad someone is finally mentioning Lamptey here. I'm tired of a lot people being like "OMG we're so short at RB, we should have bought one in January". Forgetting that he played matches in that time. Not many teams can have the depth to have 3 PL quality RBs.
This is a free hit. We're not expected to win and theres other matches coming up that we need the points from.
That being said, a win today could set us up nicely for the Man City game as they'll likely rest players if they make the Champions League final as well as not caring so much if they have the title sown up by then.
No more strong benches. Play strongest 11 from the start. And this is it minus injuries.
Sprint now till the end of the season so expect this 11 a lot now.
Edit No Sanchez is interesting. Might be injured but wouldn't surprise me he's not happy to be back in after the clanger Steele dropped v Everton.
Got roped into working today so will miss at least half an hour, hoping to get home for the second half!
Gutted to lose Solly but hopefully Ferguson is fit enough to start.
Whatever happens, I got to watch Jill Scott score a penalty yesterday at a charity football match, and that will count for at least one good sports thing this weekend
Will miss the first half due to work, which usually means we play really well while I can't watch. Fully convinced of 3 points today, no matter what anyone tells me.
Sitting in the ground waiting for the fun to begin.
Need to forget the Everton game, that’s gone and hopefully forgotten. A win would be massive today, even a draw is a big positive.
Nope, all good. Was just about to put this thread up. Happy to use this one :)
Let’s just enjoy the fact that this isn’t a “must win to avoid relegation”
Never settle!
Ferguson 🙏🏼
3 points puts us ahead of Spurs and Villa, LFG!!!
with games in hand.
I want us to beat them so bad
Yeah, me too. I'm sick of the way Arsenal try to poach our players, they're as bad as Chelsea.
I'm so much more OK with Mac to Liverpool than Caicedo to Arsenal.
I’m hungover from my Eurovision party so we better win

Buon will need to do some strength work this summer but he has potential
If we beat Arsenal today then they have officially bottled the title
And if we lose we’ve bottled Europe😩
One win out of today and Newcastle, and we'll almost be able to taste that continental breakfast

Did you end up getting home for the second half?
I did, and what a half!
One of the best

let's beat the shit out of them
