IgnisExcubitor 678 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 As poor as we have been lately, it would still be daft to play attacking football against us. It makes sense to sit back and frustrate us. Our defence will always give the opposition chances. And who better to play that kind of football than Mourinho. Wouldn't be a bad idea to stick Dominic Solanke up top. Looks more threatening than Sturridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 1,310 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hoping Liverpool and Man Utd ends in a draw. To be honest, Mourinho might go to Anfield with that being his plan. Our away trip to Watford will be difficult. Marco Silva is a solid manager and will know what he has to do to make us stuggle at both ends of the pitch, this is a manager that made Hull City come across as something other than an abomination of the team during his short time there so you know he's good.

Asura 319 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Can see united parking the bus and scoring one on counter, liverpool's defense is weak and they are without their best player Mane so mourinho is going to frustrate them and score one on the counter. Havent seen a single watford match this season but Arsenal typically do well against lower end table teams so this should be a win, no excuses.

Administrator Stan 18,428 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted October 12, 2017 Solanke would pass more than Sturridge and not shoot from the touchline all the time to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,283 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I too second Solanke over Sturridge at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,409 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 In Fantasy Football I had a genius idea that once Aguero got injured I was going to replace him with Lukaku and make him captain as he destroys Palace then the following gameweek I was going to replace Lukaku with Morata and make him captain as he destroys Palace. Sods law Lukaku went missing and Morata is now injured. Hopefully we can keep this down to a minimal 2-0 loss but put in a respectable performance to build confidence before we face Newcastle and West Ham.

On a side note at my Dad's old work they used to do a prediction league for just our results, literally win, draw or loss. Someone put us to lose every game and they won the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ 1,919 Posted October 12, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted October 12, 2017 Ndidi and Vardy both fit for us. That's a plus at least. I swear I will flip if he starts that same XI we started at Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony 95 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Southampton away, bit of a tough one. They've been a bit unpredictable, we'll be solid at the back but not much quality in the final third. Can't see us scoring more than one goal. I'll go for 0-0 or a 1-0 loss.

LFCMike 3,015 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 A goal within the first 10 minutes is vital for us. Without that I imagine there will be a lot of huffing and puffing from us but the bus will have already been well and truly parked so it will be very difficult to find a way through. Then we'll probably concede a stupid goal from a set piece or counter attack. Not confident at all given the form of both sides but we're due a league win against them and we're the first decent side they've played so who knows.
