I get king for iborra as far as rotation is concerned but gray being dropped is baffling.

 

Still 3 points please.

SO he is useful as a squad player then?  Which is the opposite of what you said?  If he was starting I might be a little concerned but off the bench he's not the worst option of all time?  I just hope we win.X

Lmao he is starting you dweeb

[Gerard]

We play twice a week until the start of January, did some of you honestly believe he was going to flog the same players?

[TheUltimateWinner]

To be fair to Puel most teams have rotated tonight.

 

Its just a shame that after our usual starting eleven the quality drops quite far off.

[Beechey]

Everyone is complaining about King, but who else do we have other than Iborra right now? Nobody. We are threadbare in midfield and rotation is necessary.

Erm..........  Shall I tell him or does someone else want to? X

[lcfcsnow]

I've worked it out. With Iborra we can afford more attacking options as he knows what he's doing on the pitch. He can't play 3 games in a week so we've had to bring King back, Chilwell has pushed into midfield and Okazaki is back both to offer more protection for King being overrun.

I have a feeling Slim is not being included because he is all but sold in January. Now really thinking Kelechi is not fancied by Puel. 

Not too down about the team, doesnt look the sexiest at first glance, but hey ho, could be good. Little disturbed as i'm finally admitting to myself Iheanacho might not be happening for us as we'd hoped when we signed him

[Strokes]

I see he has picked the forums favourite scapegoat, I hope kingy scores and shoves it down your throats.

You said you'd be concerned if he was starting, but off the bench he's a good option, but he IS starting, rendering what you said a load of shite mate ?

[Gerard]

Interesting that Ulloa is on the bench and Slimani and Iheanacho aren't. I wonder if we'll be selling both in January?

[Bluetintedspecs]

Guess there's a few on here auditioning for Priscilla Queen of the Desert.Feckin drama Queens

That Leo isnt starting? Or that he's just burned you with insult of the century?

You'd rather we play the same team that's played the last god knows how many games twice a week?

[Stevosevic]

Iheanacho and Slimani not even on the bench these days is a bit weird....

I think you have had what the young folk call "a mare" here mate.  I was quite clearly talking about Ulloa if you actually read the thread rather than just comment without even putting in that much effort.  Great put down though and I haven;t heard the word dweeb since about 1997 so that was quite a nice walk down memory lane.  X

[Aus Fox]

Some of the overreacting on here is embarrassing to say the least. King is the third beat midfielder we have fit and available. 

We currently have two first choice midfielders putting shifts in week in week out and now we have a ridiculous amount of games in a short space of time and we rest one, it's quite simple.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Wild get a rest on Saturday. A tricky away game and Shinji's work rate is what's required. 

Let's be positive!!

Ulloa is on the bench mate.

That's about as likely to occur as Kasper running the length of the park and slipping one neatly into the corner with Forster frozen to the spot thinking WTF.

[adam]

Bizarre team and bench selection. Surely no one can be that knackered that they need a rest already. Nailed on defeat with that midfield
