Disco Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Be tempted to play Gouffran there as much as it pains me to say. Keep Ayozé and Ritchie wide either side. Diame, Shelvey and Hayden beefing up the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Could be back to the evil trio, Dummett, Anita and Colback. Not a good omen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diame, Shelvey and Hayden beefing up the midfield. Yeah I would go with that, Gouffran has been known to score the odd goal when he's played up front, and Perez is just as likely to score from a wide position rather than as a striker. Riviere is an option as well, but he's not going to score is he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Just hope it doesnt mean we set up defensively. We will and that's why I think we might still nick this. If we don't concede we'll probably get a goal from Perez or Ritchie somewhere down the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gomez Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 On paper, Armstrong would be the most natural replacement for Gayle, with the plus that it would allow Pérez to stay out on the left. But who knows.. this might be when we find out that Goufz is Championship goal machine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Wouldn't mind giving Armstrong a full game actually, be interested to see how he gets on. Can't be any worse than the other options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a defensive coach, that's why he plays 4-2-3-1. Always has been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Jesus people on about gouffran rivière dummett colback and Anita! I though Rafa staying would mean he would be backed well in the market and we would bring good quality in. People expecting us to go up playing the players mentioned there would be in for a shock. Dosent matter how good the manager is if the players aren't up to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
