Horrific weather, and the continued prospect of having to play one of either Ayew, Soumare or Vestergaard.

 

You would think after his disastrous game against Norwich and a terrible international break, Vestergaard needs a rest. He surely cant be starting today.

 

I would go:

 

                    Begovic  

Ricardo - Okoli - Faes - Aluko 

                  Winks - James 

      Fatawu   -   Page   -   Mavididi 

                           Daka 

 

Bring Bobby on for Page at about 65 mins, as Bobby has proven to be a decent impact at No10. Thomas can step in for Aluko if he struggles there.  Monga for Mavi. Just keep the slow plodders out of it.

Vesty is better than Faes.

Hard to be interested in this after the high of the international break. 

Can't wait to see Vestegaard duck under crosses and get out of the way of shots again

3-0 home defeat. Horrible performance. Very much what we’ve seen before. Cifuentes finally gets sacked after we wasted another international break. 4 weeks until a new manager is hired.

Just over half an hour before team announced and all energy, all life, all of our deepest souls  are sucked out of us

And bounce off of a man half his size when trying to knock them off the ball.

Skipp, Faes, Daka, Thomas. I don’t need to say anymore.

Probably the best we can put out other than Reid for Skipp.

Ohhhhh, that's bad... guess gutter cleaning in the rain may take the cake for me

[jmono84]

FFS Marti! JJ is a CM, have BCR play in the 10 and have JJ instead of Skipp! Really hoping these guys prove me wrong today

Put Vieties on for Daka 😂

Boring unimaginative selection again...look for Faes to give away an easy penalty or just fall down on a counter attack and let Stoke score. I don't see us scoring anything more than 1. Stoke 3, Leicester 1. We will be down most of the game until Marti wakes up to what's actually happening on the pitch and actually starts making rational choices when its to late. Gearing up for a frustrating watch. The question is will it be really ugly or only slightly ugly looking football?

With that lineup, you could easily switch to 4-3-3 and really attack teams. 

 

Forget the 4-2-3-1

Who do you pick instead of Faes then?
