    I've never been so happy to hear about an injury.

    As for KWP, I'm totally fine with Tino at RB. He was class last week.

    I'm usually for continuity but also the results and performances have to be good, let's hope we get one or the other or both today.

    Okay, I've taken some deep breaths and calmed down.

    Ralph has to get the subs spot on this week though. No fannying around if someone is clearly underperforming.

    I thought Theo was pretty horrid last game (and suspect Stu would have started this one if fit), but for the admittedly short time Tella was on last week, he was barely any better.

    I’d still have him on before Theo, but let’s see.

    Clutching at straws slightly, but perhaps Ralph thinks Theo’s defensive qualities and discipline are better than Tella’s, and we’ll need those in this game…

    Target Lindelof, they have martial up top, need to try and win the midfield battle.

    If anyone needs cheering up, at least it’s not Chambers vs Lukaku.

    If Theo has been chosen, because of his defensive work then fair enough, BUT he really has to give us more going forward than he did last week.
    When he first came back to us, he was receiving the ball and immediately turning and running at the opposition, which helped create space for others.
    Last week I was calling for him to be subbed after 30 minutes because of his lack of involvement. If his involvement today is the same then we will effectively be starting with 10 men, and we know what happened last season, against them, when reduced to 10 men.

    More straw clutching.

    Fred and Matic is a midfield you can get at.
