Quinn31 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Changing the back four... interesting - Sam must really rate Jags and Keane over Williams and Holgate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Big surprises. I guess Allardyce has a plan. Or I would guess that, except he sticks with the Gana-Schneiderlin pairing, the wisdom of which quite escapes me. Prematch interview, Allardyce says Rooney sick with cold. As for Jagielka-Keane, he refers to 5 matches in 14 days, need to rotate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Oh.....oh.....oooooooooooh. Didn't expect to see the CB's change. Plus Schneiderlin, Gana and Davies in the middle. Gonna be another park the bus game I think. Mostly expected anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Changes in defence completely unnecessary. Too many central midfield players. Sigurdsson i expect to perform today without Wayne in the side. On a nice note though, it's really good to see yannick back. This whole game is going to be DCL playing against Chelseas back 3 without a sniff. Not Good, almost glad I couldn't go today because the mrs dog decided to eat a box of chocolates and is now in the vets overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemineck Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I’m not Rooney’s biggest fan. Didn’t really want him back. Think he’s had some stinkers. So why am I gutted that he isn’t playing today. Going to have to lie down and have a serious word with myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milesey05 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Really going miss Rooney. Big game for Tom Davies- I'm not a fan so really hoping he puts in a shift today. None of that poodling around the pitch like he has done- especially in the Derby. need siggy attacking and not being a 2nd left back, tough tough ask today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Lennon and Gylfi will have a lot of defending to do today, Lennon has a great engine on him and will cope with the challenge, not sure Gylfi has the same fitness level so he must air on the defensive responsibility and not leave Cuco exposed two on one, think we will get something out of this.

Gylfi ran more than any other player last season. His fitness is one of his few good traits. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
