Yep, I’d go for that. Don’t think MB will though. No way he’ll have James on the bench.

Not a hope in hell that MB will go with that one mate.....

I would though.....

[William]

Problem is only so long putting a shift in can excuse him.

He should have had a few vs Newcastle, it cost us 3 points.

He hasn't scored or created anywhere near enough this season and needs to do a hell of a lot more than run around to justify his price tag.

Hopefully he starts tonight because it's one of Bielsa's most annoying obsessions.

I think he is a good option away from home when we have more room to play in.

Thats the XI that i want to see. Think Rodrigo could work well with Joffy

[Scoobychief]

Such a predictable line up again. My word and then the mighty Roberts to come on instead of the goal threat gelhard

[Tyzy]

Just seen the team, can i change my prediction to a 2-0 defeat !

MB is one stubborn git .

[The Subhuman]

Good team tonight

[William]

Looks like we cant even fill the bench

Only slight surprise is Koch in for Forshaw.

That is a nice front 3 for Viilla, I would take any of them

I thought 9 was the limit?

[Cjay]

If you are going to play a sprinter up front then you have to play on the counter.

It is totally illogical to play a possession based game with James up front because it negates the one thing he needs, space.

[William]

We have 8 on the graphic I have.

[DDB220]

James up front on paper should work. But we have all witnessed he lacks composure. Hopefully it is just anxiety rather than an inherent lack of ability to finish. However, my mind is made up and it is the latter.
Not happy with the Midfield either. Klich and Rodrigo are a poor combo who I think cannot exert any level of control. I can see Forshaw replacing one of them sooner rather than later. But it depends what damage has been incurred.

[Boo Radley]

Disappointed to see the same team more or less kept from the Newcastle loss, but we couldn’t keep the same team from the West Ham win!

Maybe he’s just going to keep making them do it until they get it right? Better bench for once at least.

[John in Louisiana]

I think it's a pretty solid side. Probably as good as we can field right now overall.

I just hope we see Gelhardt and Forshaw as the first two off the bench.

[1964white]

Good team tonight

All the speculation of who would play.

I posted somewhere on here, we'd start with the same line-up as the Newcastle game

Take note of your username mate.... Chill.....

no point in stressing over something that you have no input into, or something that you cannot change...

Have a couple of scoops and relax a bit.....

I can't help it Hector
