    Nice to have the deadline so late.
    Hope we get some news about Firmino tomorrow or on Sunday morning.

    Im expecting all of them on the bench. I'd say you're likely to see a lineup of Pereira, Tuanzebe, Shaw, Bailly (if fit), Blind, Carrick, Pogba (who he has confirmed as starting), Fellaini, Martial, Mata, Rooney.

    With Romero, Darmian, Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Herrera, Lingard, Mkhitaryan and Rashford all being rested ahead of Ajax.

    I'm probably missing some names here and I may not be right with all of the above, but if it's in any way a decent team like that then a Mourinho organised team shouldn't be easy pickings for anyone.

    Of course if you already have Zaha or Benteke you would be nuts to get rid, but I'm not 100% sure Zaha is the superior cheap midfield enabler to Lallana this week. That depends on how petty we expect Mourinho to be with the lineup.

    Shaw injured
    Darmian starting weds night no way he will play
    Bailly injured
    Blind starting weds night no way he will play
    Smalling injured
    Herrera zero chance he will play
    Carrick possibly
    Pogba is starting
    Fellaini injured
    Martial and Mata possibly could be 45 minute players
    Rooney - Jose said he we won't start after playing 90 midweek

    Here is the predicted team from the guy who has had all the news first all season
    It won't be completely right but will be very close

    I've not heard of about 4 of them

    Bogdan, Flanagan, Skrtel, Lucas, Smith, Allen, Stewart, Brannagan, Ibe, Ojo, Benteke.

    Substitutes: Mignolet, Ilori, Randall, Chirivella, Henderson, Canos, Ings.

    Liverpool team before Europa last year
    Klopp/mourinho not being petty they were/are being smart
    The key thing is palace and west brom were safe so didn't affect anything beyond mid table placings

    United team will be unrecognisable mark my words


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,771 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Hmmm, Coutinho/Benteke and Zaha/Sturridge combinations become attractive in this case. Just a question of which and who is the most important.

    Conte says he is keen to help Courtois win the Golden Gloves, with Chelsea hosting Sunderland on Sunday https://t.co/rrWap8Xwti

    Is Yaya a silly shout? Watford not known as the cleanest team out there.

    Considering Alli, Haz, Gabbi >>> Coutinho, Kane, Zaha for a -8? Reasoning been that Alli/Haz may not start and Gabbi is stone useless while the other 3 are guaranteed starters. Will have 0 left itb so will need to do this today I feel with price rises/drops tonight.

    Would give me a:
    Willy (Cech)
    Cahill, Yoshida, Holding, (Stephens, Benalouane)
    Coutinho, Sanchez, Zaha, King (Albrighton)
    Costa, Jesus, Kane.

    Or could just do Haz/Costa >>> Coutinho/Kane for -4? No Chelsea attacking coverage at home to Sunderland could be a bloodbath though.

    Currently have a 5 point lead in a ML with €500 for 1st, €250 for 2nd on the line so crucial GW in store. Both of us well clear of 3rd. Have the TC chip left whereas rival doesn't so it'll be going on Kane when I get him whatever I go with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,482 ✭✭✭Invincible


    I think Wenger favours Wellbeck and I'd expect him to start ahead of Giroud.

    He didn't for the DGW!

    Sterling seems the obvious one there as least likely to start.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,532 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Puel confirms that Gabbiadini will remain Southampton's first-choice penalty taker despite midweek miss https://t.co/LG04puOGar


    We all know what happens at the weekend now when he is sold/on our benches

    He didn't take the penalty last week though. Jesus took it (toure was on the field)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,256 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Sitting on 12.5k and want to Gamble to make top 10k.
    Alli/Sane to Coutinho(c) or Jesus/Costa to Sturridge (c) are my possible moves.
    I am veering towards Costa to Sturridge, does anyone see anything better?

    Sanchez-Alli-Sane-King
    Jesus-Kane-Costa

    Is my front 7 with 0.9m in the bank


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,676 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Struggling which defender to drop out of these 4
    Monreal (H to Eve)
    Stephens (H to Stoke)
    Alonso (H to Sunderland)
    Fuchs (H to Bournemouth)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭Islander13


    Fuchs IMO

    Not been keeping a very close eye this past few days but I'd love a bit of Sturridge.

    But is it worth selling any of Costa, Kane or Jesus for him. Jesus would require a hit.

    Hazard out seems the most obvious move if anything.

    0.1 short of Costa and Albrighton to Studge and Zaha. :mad:

    It's a gamble but Costa has only scored in 2 of the last 10 games and his points have been poor (1-1-2-8-1-16-1-6-2-0).
    Will he definitely play on Sunday?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,652 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    Costa to Benteke
    Alli to Sanchez or Ozil

    .. Will wait on team news first

    Which would also suggest he starts. Apparently some of the squad have been upset with some players continually being played despite being out of form -- looks like Gabby may be teachers' pet!

    Well I wish he had been dropped weds night instead of last weekend !

    Do ye think azpi and Alonso will both start on sun?
    seriously considering doubling up on Chelsea assets and defence is the only really option.

    currently have Alonso, think a very good chance of clean sheets plus attacking returns from both,
    may just go for it the two leagues I'm in are won at this stage

    Azpilicueta has played every minute of the league season so far. He is absolutely nailed on to start.
