I have a hunch, just a very small one, a feeling in my waters - this one is not going to finish 7-2

We went with a back four against Southampton, Everton and Stockport, so I'm assuming we'll go with that again, but nice that we have a bit of flexibility.

I think we'll need Fornals and Benrahma as the more creative players the better against a team that's likely to sit back and make it difficult for us, plus Fornals works hard, which we'll need.

I don't think we'll lose, because Moyes has made us difficult to beat; it's just whether we'll have enough to break down a stubborn and hard-working defence.

At the moment benrahma for me not creating much , no end product some nice work but nothing to show for it

I think he needs a goal to get him going

And some

I think he needs some movement around him.

He thrived at Brentford having Da Silva, Watkins and Mbeumo buzzing around him. There were hints of that last night with Lanzini in the first half, but obviously conditions put pay to that quite quickly.

I actually think he'd link well with Masuaku on that left flank, but definitely needs technical players around him to the bring the best out of him.

Lukerz

This is going to be a horrendously frustrating game

You're running out of things that rhyme with Jorderz, aren't you.

OutcastLondoner

Can we just stick with Borederz?

I reckon I've got one or two more. And they ain't getting any better.

The way I see it, the words snore, bore, chore, sore and abhor have a certain rhythmic connection which is very telling indeed

However, in the interests of fairness, there is at least one outlier (I’m sure Alderz loves an outlier). The word “score” is also very harmonious yet it probably isn’t one of the first words to spring to mind when thinking about a Jorderz match thread.
