xLiaaamx Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Urgh, Howay then. Kenedy, Murphy, Atsu and Perez into the lineup. Go at them with some pace for once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Darlow; Yedlin, Lascelles, Clark, Dummett; Murphy, Merino, Shelvey, Atsu; Perez, Joselu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I hate the phrase “must win” for a game in January, but a good result here could be absolutely vital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Dismal draw or another terrible defeat, probably the former. We won't win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Not a clue any more. Confidence could be rock bottom when we haven't signed anyone else by kick off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 We need to win this. If we do then we are on the right track for survival, possibly only another 3-4 wins needed afterwards. I think this will be a tight game, hopefully we can just edge. I believe we can create chances against them, but can we put them away? Bournemouth, Swansea, and to a lesser extent Brighton were all good examples of where we lacked the finishing touch to win games that we should have won at home. Hopefully we can have more of a West Ham, Stoke, or Crystal Palace type of game and result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Why the negativity? We were on a decent run before todays game which was a write off to most anyway. The players don't look void of confidence either, other than maybe Gayle but he won't be starting anyway. Let's brighten up and be a bit more positive man, this wallowing attitude spreads to the pitch and won't get us anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Merino, Diame central, Kenedy, Murphy wide. Atsu behind Ayoze. 2-0 win. Aye, want to see all of them starting (and think they will) bar maybe Merino if he's not fit. Shelvey was good today so he should play again Dummett should come in at left back too.

Kanji Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I just really really dislike him and find his current contribution to be fairly useless on the main. Much rather just use Merino and hopefully one day sell Shelvey. Waste of talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Whoever wins 1-0, it's going to be a boring pile of mishit passes and limited skill. 1-0 to us hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much rather just use Merino and hopefully one day sell Shelvey. Waste of talent. But if Merino is unfit, which is he is - then Shelvey is clearly the best option we have. I'd argue that fact even if Merino was fit. I've said it a million times and am sick of the sound of my own voice, but he's one of few with genuine quality (visible today) and to want him out is madness in our current situation/position.

xLiaaamx Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 in reality, just play Murphy, Atsu and Perez. I think those three together are our best hope of hurting teams both with runnning off the ball and on it. Don't care who else plays really. Diame's doing well lately so him. Shelvey and Merino can both pick a pass if someone makes a run. But in reality, if the three I mentioned start, I'll be reasonably confident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Merino and Shelvey on the pitch might actually sometimes allow us to look like a football team. It shouldn't be one or the other. They aren't even similar in the role they play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
