Annoying that he hasn’t given Perez up top another go since the Stoke game. Given how sharp we looked that day and how utterly fucking shite Gayle and Joselu are it’s pretty poor tbh, especially given that we actually have decent options for the three AM spots.
Hopefully Slimani can make the spot his own but I do feel Rafa has missed a trick the last few weeks.
Good half anyway, Kennedy so much better than anyone else we have in the final third. If Slimani is a similar level of upgrade up front I’ll be confident we can stay up.
Charnley: How about it, Luan? Will you sign for us?
Luan: Ewh, no!
Charnley: Oh. Well can I have my shirts back at least?
Security: OK, you heard the man. Why don’t you take it outside?
We’ve a week between this and the Swansea game. If any of the squad is in dire need of a rest then this is a good game to give it to them but I hope we put out a strong team personally.
