Think we’ll do ok today. Reasonable record against the big boys under Moyes (1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss). We suit sitting deep and compact and then breaking away on the counter.
Possibly Alderz, but I'm not convinced. When Arnautovic and Lanzini are back, I reckon Chicha is back on bench.
I suppose a lot will depend on who our manager is in the summer, but I have a feeling he'll off regardless
I said this back on the Hernandez asking to leave thread.
He's in the best form since he joined the club and is dropped as soon as Lanzini is fit.
I can only assume (hope) it's entirely tactical as we're looking at Lanzini and Arnie on the break as our main hope of scoring, but I guess we'll see in the coming games.
People will inevitably over-dramatise Hernandez being dropped, if true. This game doesn’t suit him, we need to play on the break and we will hardly touch the ball in their box.
I’m sure Moyes will have sat down with him and explained his reasoning, and, though Hernandez will be gutted, I’m sure he’ll know it’s nothing to do with his form and more to do with the opposition we have.

Please let me be wrong about him ;pray

Antonio dropped too. ;hmm
Team is:
Adrian
Collins - Ogbonna - Cresswell
Zabaleta- Noble - Kouyate - Mario - Evra
Lanzini
Arnautovic

Hernandez will be back in for the next game.
If Lanzini and Arnie play a blinder today, you reckon either will be dropped?
I could possibly see Lanzini playing behind Arnie and Hernandez at Mario's expense, but would that be fair?
I guess on the positive side it's good to have those options.
Barring a blinder from several players, I should have said.
Lanzini and Arnie will always play when fit. I’d expect Mario to drop out for Hernandez, though, in games to come.
Keep it tight the way they attack we need as many bodies in MF as possible..
Maybe a case for Antonio playing, possibly even to man-mark Salah.
Think we're on a hiding to nothing this afternoon ;sofa
35 year old Evra who hasnt played in month comes in against Salah
Also this game was made for Antonio to start up front with Arnie
