Shelvey as captain, man

Playing someone who is even worse than Mitrovic in front of goal is a mean feat, but he's achieved it

WTF? Probably about right although maybe up to an 8 if we lost. This thread is always ridiculously pessimistic. I remember loads of people were at 8 or 9s before the last game of last season, when looking at the fixtures and what needed to happen a 2 or 3 would have been more appropriate can't see where that level of optimism comes from if mcclaren stays in charge Well a 6 or 7 implies that we will probably get relegated but it is possible that Norwich and Sunderland could be worse than us, I'd call that realistic not optomistic

He is for a team like Arsenal

Welbeck is shit

Hate Ramsey

Yeah, great reflexes. Blob would still be on his way down if it was him. Looked impossible to get down so quick

What a fucking save

Sanchez has been shit lately

Denmark's fault marra Bit of a difference between "a few weeks" and 11 months which was actually the case

Should be captain based solely on the fact he has a bit of courage and looks like he actually wants to win most of the time

Pellegrini as coach

442 with Perez and Doumbia up front. 2 of Sissoko/Wijnaldum/Townsend if available on the wing, Tiote if available and Shelvey centre mid.

And his reputation fucked

He's been poor this season, no point in saying otherwise but should always be ahead of the likes of Riviere and Gouffran in the pecking order

That would be pretty funny

McClaren will walk into the press conference happy as Adam Johnson in a playground if we get a 0-0 here

If we're going to play like this at least put someone with a bit of pace up front

It's like our team is two different teams, one where the mildly talented players and the shit players don't communicate in any way

Playing for a 0-0 from the start against Stoke ffs

After being utterly humiliated due to his lack of any strength

Gouffran is so bad. Hope he has to go off

Not doing much but we rarely have the ball tbf

Imbula's a beast
