Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,670 Posted August 10, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 10, 2017 Our lineup likely to be Pickford / Holgate Keane Williams Baines / Schneiderlin Gueye / Mirallas Rooney Klaassen / Sandro or something like that, might see Calvert-Lewin or Davies in there in place of Mirallas. It's better than what we started with last season but we haven't replaced Lukaku yet. I'd much rather see Lookman and Kenny involved more heavily but just trying to be realistic about how Koeman will set up - if any defenders feature from the bench it'll be Jagielka or Martina and he'll probably field Calvert-Lewin before Lookman who'll be lucky to come on before the 85th minute. This in an important game for us because our opening fixtures are the absolute pits after this one (Chelsea, City and United away and Spurs at home the next four with the Europa playoffs slotted between them). I expect us to win either 2-1 or 1-0, similar match to those we saw against Ruzomberok but with the opposition carrying more of a threat obviously.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted August 11, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 11, 2017 Expect us to line up... Schmeichel Simpson - Morgan - Maguire - Fuchs Mahrez - James - Ndidi - Albrighton Okazaki Vardy Iheanacho hasn't had a proper pre-season and went off with a knock last week. I expect him to come off the bench. I think he will slowly come in for Okazaki. James gets in regardless of injuries to Drinkwater & Iborra for me. Those two won't play due to knocks and James has been very decent in pre-season. Specifically playing him on that side as well as he did a great job overlapping Mahrez in one game, creating space for Mahrez inside. Mahrez will play and I expect him to be a Leicester player in September. His recent comments hint to me he's going nowhere as much as he admits he does want to go. Iborra's a miss because say we're winning, I'd have expected him to be brought on to help us keep it tight. That now rests on Andy King who, despite how popular he is, isn't good enough. Sticking with 2-1 loss. But it's back and this delights me. Can't wait to fuck off out of work tomorrow at half 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony 95 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Great to have this back tonight. I want Shakespeare to succeed as well, purely because he's English, but I can't see past an Arsenal win tonight to kick the season off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman is now selling his assets and hiding the money in Cuba You'd think he'd be smarter than to even get married to be honest. Especially after his last marriage had him pay out a load of money.

Each player is either deemed valuable to the club, dispensable, or a means of financial gain. What Conte says or feels on the matter isn't even taken to account by our board. Wanted Chalobah to stay, board ship him off for a measly profit. Wanted Matic to stay, board viewed him as dispensable and sell him to United. Wants Baker to remain with the team, the board loan him out to which he and Loftus-Cheek will inevitably be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
