    BOOM

    straight in with that one <laugh>

    That’s a good line up and formation

    Good enough to win...let’s hope more than just Lamela turns up for the whole match

    What's obvious both from Poch using THE BASTARD DIAMOND and the last few lineups from Steptonho is that both setups require a deeper striker, with Dybala being the obvious candidate given he even recorded a farewell video before image rights caused a problem

    The issue is that Lucas simply isn't a reasonable option in that role, as has been proven multiple times this season

    The obvious solutions are as follows
    1.) We sign Piatek* as an out-and-out striker and move Son into the deeper role
    2.) We sign Bruno Fernandes* and play him in the deeper role with Son up top
    3.) We play Parrott in the deeper role with Son up top

    * - This is for the sake of having a name there so people know what I'm getting at

    Any system we are supposed to be playing goes out the window if Aurier's in the team. It shouldn't take Watford 10 seconds to work out that there's going to be a ****ing great big hole on our right flank and/or where our midfield (Winks on his own?) are supposed to be.

    After that happens, we're going to be in trouble... lots of it...<wah>

    I'm off to make sure that there's plenty of room behind the sofa.

    What a strange team selection. It'll be hard to criticise individual players, if this doesn't work.

    Well, maybe one of them if there's a gaping hole on our right flank where a RB should be...

    Tanganga should be right back and Dave should be centre back but obviously Jose thinks Aurier as right back and Tanganga in the middle is the answer

    But why is the manager picking Aurier when he knows Aurier will be a liability

    And someone should be left-back.

    Moura gets the ball and starts to run. Moura is fouled. Some things don't change.

    Hits Cathcarts arm, but I don't think that's a handball, even if Oliver saw it first time.

    We're passing the ball around nicely enough and largely pinning them back, but we still haven't created any good chances.

    How was that not handball?

    how were them arms next to his body?

    shouldn’t VAR be checking anyway?
