Think Downes is suspended for this one

Lukerz

Soucek it is then!

alderz

Cornet and Scamacca should definitely both start. Otherwise I think it doesn’t matter massively

Johnson - Zouma - Ogbonna - Cresswell
Paqueta - Soucek - Lanzini

Still work to do tonight. can't forget they had 14 corners to our none in the first leg., but looking forward to seeing how it pans out COYI .

This lady presenter on BT is annoying me, talking about booing after the last game and then a toxic atmosphere. I have been at the last two games a 4-0 win and a draw against Villa when the players all tried hard. I didn't hear any booing or sense any toxic atmosphere, was she at those games?

MrsGrey

I thought it was widely reported the players were boo'd off after the Villa game?

Woulda been harsh if it was the case, despite the result not being what we wanted or even deserved, the performance was actually pretty good.

PrestonHammer

I see we're still having nosebleeds in the final third.

Literally five minutes in.😂

PrestonHammer

I was going to wait but they've naused up a few too many times for my liking hahaha

OldCastleSwift

Pretty good intensity, this. For us, anyway.

buffybegood

Johnson exposed there, Areola awake at least.

PrestonHammer

So before the game they were going on about it being toxic and they are going about only having 40 thousand in the ground. They moan more than we do in here! Hahaha

buffybegood

Scamacca 😊

Shocking keeping though but nice for the Italian to get back on the scoresheet.

PrestonHammer

Well done Scamacca, now let's see if he can bang in a hat trick.

buffybegood

Scamacca again, but flagged offside and VAR will confirm it. Tidy finish though nonetheless.

PrestonHammer

How was that a foul?

Lukerz

Still need to see way more of Paqueta’s quality

I was at the game until the end and didn't hear any booing, not to say there may have been a little somewhere, but I couldn't hear it.

buffybegood

1-1, or is it? Flagged offside and it's a close one for VAR to check.

buffybegood

VAR confirm it's offside, so we're still up on the night.

OldCastleSwift

One all in VAR offside calls.

Ben Johnson not having a great game again. Confidence looks shot.

PrestonHammer

Is Scamacca playing on the left? If so why?

Moyes likes to convert wingers into strikers. He knows what he's doing.

Not particularly, he's drifted there a few times, but playing centrally imo.
