Gouffran in CM, I wonder what qualities McClaren sees in him to put him there I recall him playing there during pre-season

All due respect to Northampton but this is the kind of game I'd want to see the likes of Lascelles and Darlow and other 'fringe' players given a chance. Not because I want us to take this cup lightly, but really, they should have enough about them to get a result against a League 2 side at home. If not in games like this, when do they get a chance to show what they can do? Only first-choice players I'd want to see in the team I think are Mitrovic and maybe Thauvin to get their match fitness up.

Worked his balls off yesterday and seems to have a great, professional attitude as well as technical ability. Basically all the tools to be a top player imo.

My only worry is that if it happens confidence will be very low going into those games and affect performances.

hbarecall is back

Selling him would be a big mistake imo.

Maybe Aarons shagged his missus.

Who's the bint?

Leicester look good going forward

We rarely do imo. Obviously this is going back past McClaren but so often we just look like 11 disparate players meandering around doing their own thing hoping something clicks rather than a cohesive unit with any sort of game plan.

I read something a few days ago where McClaren talked about Obertan and he seemed to like the defensive job he supposedly did on Southampton's left-back. There was other things said too but I remember that specifically. Plus he got the assist which gives him an easy 'excuse' as it were Here it is http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-mcclaren-reveals-reasons-fielding-9827720

People will obviously say it's just knee-jerk reactions but I do genuinely think that defensively he is quite overrated by the majority of our fanbase.

Really wish we had tried to get Tuchel in.

There must be some consumer law we can use to get a refund on this guy citing faulty goods,

Am I being whooshed? Have no idea what's going on tbh

Yeah, Senegal flag ones I think

McClaren going all-out for a Dutch XI Wish Obertan would shoot himself tbh

afaik the pitch at SJP is 115 yards long so that's got to be about 90 yards he covered

Watching us defend is terrifying

HERE HE COMES

scrappy as fuck ugh

Obertan back to being shit
