Did he ever play a game for us in the league?

Lets be honest, Dummett won't do better than us with or without Rafa.

Took us till gameweek 33 to reach 28 points in our relegation season. Didn't think it was that far that in to the season.

I was weirdly quite comfortable with the game until injury time. Nothing like Burnley/Palace.

Another Doumbia

Take it everyone for Bournemouth win rather than a draw?

Ok this isn't more winnable than Brighton or Burnley, however at least we can sit back and play counter which suits us. It will play more as an away game.

Thought he would have retired by now.

Id like to see a front 4 of Murphy, Merino, Kenedy and Slimani.

It's KARL. Fucking KARL. Not Karlo you cunt. he isn't Buffon's younger brother.

Fuck me man why no Murphy

Lejeune is decent.

Doesn't sound like Slimani will make it, but at least he's back for the Man U clash. Wouldn't want him risked anyway. I'm just hoping Merino, Kenedy, Murphy and Gayle all start.

End of the day we've got WBA, Huddersfield, Stoke and Swansea below us in the table with a game in hand and better goal difference. If we don't stay up then we don't deserve to.

Riviere.

Bit worrying looking at the fixtures, I'd say Huddersfield and Southampton have equally as difficult fixtures but the rest have easier ones. It's all on paper obviously but games like Palace away are games you need to be picking up points. We're going to have to beat one of the big sides.

Typical Dummett that. He could have easily drove in to the box but instead tried a fucking curling cross from 10 yards further back because he knew he couldn't do anything else.

Murphy has to start this time.

I got laughed at when i said slimani last night

Ross county one? Harchester United.

Ngog for 4.2m according to Caulkin.

The Sturridge one was a massive kick in the nuts wasn't it. West Brom ffs.

I know Mitrovic hasn't shown anything to suggest he's going to score a bagful of goals, but he has to play now. I'd be tempted to play Perez off him as they seem to work quite well together.

Marcos Llorente at Real who is also a DM and not Llorente at Spurs. This can only be happening because the injury is not going to allow Merino to get back to full performance anytime soon, and Rafa isn't happy with the options we currently have. Who knows at this point ... we're just such a disgusting club. I know exactly. FWIW I'd rather have Fernando at this stage. No striker is critical.
