I'd be OK with that.

He's just a horrible human being.

Hope it's Perez on the left and Sissoko on the right then.

People always moan about people moaning. Stop moaning.

I'd definitely start Aarons. Would like to see Gini at CM but I'm pretty sure it'll be Anita-Colback.

Nah, we've actually got some talent attacking-wise and should score. Unfortunately we'll concede a couple as well.

I'll never understand wearing a shirt and holding up a shirt in the photos. One or the other FFS. Dislike the lad already TBH. I'd have it if he held it showing his name on the back.

What a dick.

Congratulations, Next I want you to learn your Times Table

Potential future legend. I love him already.

My team too. On paper yes. In reality f*** no, one of our biggest problems of recent times has always been the lack of protection the defence has received and this side provides absolutely no protection. We'd have to revert to a 433 and swap De Jong for a decent holding player (which of course we don't have) for it to stand a chance. I agree.

Though he hasn't played there in any of the pre-season games? Might be wrong...

Mbemba for Williamson and I'd be OK with that. Just don't let "Gabby" anywhere near the pitch.

We'll sign 1 or 2 more.

I've only seen him make easy passes and running around like a headless chicken chasing the ball. On the plus side he scores goals.

He is, but at the same time he's definitely good enough to be in contention for a place in our starting XI.

I wouldn't. Aarons gives us something special.

There's no place for him really unless you drop De Jong or go with your idea of playing him alongside Wijnaldum and whether you like that or not McClaren won't do it. I'm with Kaka tbh, if playing him on the wing means no Aarons or Perez i would rather see him sold. Yep, I agree.

Ditto

Could work.

Care to elaborate? Two #9s who don't contribute a great deal to overall play in a 442 is aids. Not necessarily but aye against a good team like Soton we probably need one of the attackers to help out more.

Care to elaborate?

Would be interesting if we started with both Mitro and Cisse up front in a 442.

Sissoko for Anita and that's probably the best players, but there's no balance to the team. IMO we're in need of a strong, skilful sitting CM. A good Tiote, if you will.
