    He should be used as a substitute when needing to see out a game we are winning.

    So you're saying he's retired?

    No but he's on the way there now. He still has something to give and still has good patches of forms but he's not as good as before and we do have to prepare for life after him.

    I was suggesting we're so bad we'd never be winning a game so he'd never be needed to "see out a game we are winning".

    Injured. Those Chadwell Heath pitches are notorious.

    I'm sure, like me, some of you were at Wembley 1980...... have the faith ( although to be honest I fear a thumping)
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    A thumping would be merciful, a massacre is what I expect
  • stevesteve
    I think we might just win this .....And no i have not been drinking ,Also not on pills .A win would be Typical of us ,And just as the two Daves might be putting there hand in there pockets ,A win would mean they can take it out again
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Steve you may not currently be on pills but I suspect they’re on the cards soon.

    Can’t say I have much optimism today. Had we beat Newcastle, this would be slightly more relaxed.

    I would image this may suit us better, though. We will play on the counter for this game, whereas Newcastle we had 60% possession. Let’s get a fair amount of pace in the side & make sure when we do counter we do it in numbers.

    Masuaku, Haller in I would imagine. I would quite like to see Anderson given a go but predict it will be Antonio & Bowen out wide.

    Playing Schemmel would have been even more controversial as he was still at Metz, joined January 2001

    We did play on 19 September 2000, it was a Tuesday, away at Walsall in the League Cup and it was an 8pm ko. It was an odd game

    We started with Hislop in goal, five defenders - Pearce, Ferdinand, Stimac, Winterburn, Potts - and five midfielders - Carrick, Lomas, Keller, Cole, Sinclair.

    Di Canio and Kanoute stayed at home with Craig Forrest and four kids on the bench (Adam Newton, Omer Riza, Shaun Byrne, Jermaine Defoe).

    It was a pretty dull affair, raining buckets during the first half, the only things of note were a couple of streakers (or it may have been the same bloke twice) and the chicken balti pies (invented in Walsall, 1997). Winterburn did manage to get the ball in the net but it was disallowed for handball and Walsall goalkeeper Jimmy Walker (joined us 2004) played a blinder.

    Defoe replaced Keller in the 77th minute for his first team debut and scored in the 84th.

    So in 5 games across women, U23 and u18 we have already lost 5 London Derbys before todays game

    Feeling even more confident
  • yoyoyoyo
    I s'pose we beat Charlton at least

    Three at the back by the looks of it:

    Fab
    Diop Oggy Cresswell (sigh)
    Fredericks Soucek Fornals Rice Masuaku
    Bowen Antonio

    Or possibly a 4-4-1-1

    Fab
    Fredericks Diop Oggy Cresswell (sigh)

    Cullen not even on the bench, which seems harsh, given his performance the other night.

    Haller can probably count himself unlikely, too. Maybe one more chance for the players that failed against Newcastle.
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    Masuaku in for Noble. Wonder if it's a back 3 or he'll be a winger. Glad to see at least one change.
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    What must Haller do to start..and Fornals starting....not impressed IMO, but let;'s be proved wrong, I mean Moyes is a PL manager..and I'm not.
  • HammerdublinHammerdublin
    Lanzini should have started instead of Fornals.

    Twitter suggesting it's three at the back to match Arsenal’s formation.

    But it's not 3-5-2 as we only have one striker (well, converted winger) on the pitch. An opportunity to go with two strikers and Moyes doesn't take it. Bet Haller's not happy; he scored a few in pre-season and got another couple in the week. I'd have started him alongside Antonio.
