We look a little slow at the back and a bit too attacking in the front Luka and Mac have their work cut out today.
Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course). |

How does PvA not get dropped after a performance like he had last time? Maybe there's a bit of reverse psychology in action? And personally I wanna see Jairo in the midfield but hey ho...it's Jimmy Mac and Milo. Again. Gotta give it to Roy - he's consistent! Lets hope I'm eating my words in 2 hours or so. That would be a great Christmas pressie! For the reason that he is seen as a better option than Mitchell who is vastly experienced and is still learning his trade.

PVA might be more experienced, but not showing it judging on recent performances.

Sakho, no, Tomkins, no, Clyne, no, Mitchell, no (although better defensively than PVA), Kelly, maybe slightly quicker but ignored this season, Cahill, no. The choices are limited. A better question is which 4 are going to play best together.

Can someone tell me the last time either Milo or McArthur had anything approaching a decent/acceptable performance to deserve being in the starting XI again...!! Ayew on the bench when he does diddly squat when on the pitch - give Banks a go Roy - beyond that just do something different...!! Look at how other teams blood/introduce youth - Roy just sticks to his same tactics, formula and “favorites” again irrespective of form or performances Jeez so frustrating..!!

You have highlighted the problems which I have been asserting several times and perhaps HOL are getting a tad bored with my repetition on this front.
