Next season I might take note of how many games are described as “must win” and see what our record is in “must win” games.

Ravel49

You might not as well 🤷‍♂️
Just see how you feel mate
No pressure

I expect the answer to be around 36 in the league. If we start against Spurs and Palace it could even be 38 must wins 😆

Id say next season our must wins will be against the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, QPR and a few others.

Areola
Johnson - Zouma - Aguerd - Emerson
Lanzini - Rice
Bowen - Fornals - Benrahma
Ings/Scamacca

Assuming they are all ok after the international break. Paqueta, for me, doesn’t currently warrant a spot in the 11.

OldCastleSwift

4-3-1-2

Areola
Coufal (🤞) Zouma Aguerd Emerson
Rice Downes Paqueta
Benrahma
Bowen Scamacca

Let the full backs provide the width, with Downes sitting. We're bound to concede, so will need to score at least twice to win. I'd let Rice and Paqueta join Benrahma in pushing the team forward, and have Bowen as close to Scamacca as possible.

Moyes will never play two up top so it will be ings on his own

Whitehorsehammer

Areola,
Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson.
Rice,Paqueta,Fornals.
Bowen, Scamacca, Cornet.

Pengeman

For a must-win game, Moyes could try 4-2-3-1 and show attacking intent. We need a bit of pace, especially for any over-the-tp balls, and Cornet could provide that. With Ings, Antonio, Paqueta, Lanzini, Mubama, Soucek, Fornals on the bench there should be fresh legs for later stages of the game.

Mohammed Salisu missed both of Ghana games against Angola on Thursday and Monday but Chris Hughton said he was still working towards full fitness after not playing for five weeks (Hughton was promoted to head coach last month)

Salisu made his first appearance since February when he replaced Armel Bella-Kotchap in the 3-3 draw against Spurs.

Bella-Kotchap dislocated a shoulder for the second time this season and isn't expected back for a while

Che Adams missed Scotland's 2-0 win over Spain last night after picking up a calf injury against Cyprus on Saturday

Otherwise Juan Larios (injured since November last year) and Valentino Livramento (since April last year) are both still unavailable

Lukerz

Areola
Coufal - Zouma - Aguerd - Cresswell
Lanzini - Rice
Bowen - Fornals - Benrahma
Ings

Fabianski, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Emerson, Soucek, Paqueta, Cornet, Antonio, Scamacca

Left out: Johnson, Downes

Fully fit squad, need 3 points Sunday. No excuses.

ASLEFshrugged

Moyes says

"Emerson has been sick, Aguerd has a niggly hip and Scamacca has a sore knee, so we'll see where we are"

Selles says

Larios. Livramento and Bella-Kotchap all ruled out, Salisu and Adams "we will see tomorrow how they are".

It’s the shot conversion rate causing most of the problems. We are among the highest for attempts but rubbish at actually scoring.

This does feel like a game where the pressure will be on us & it’s going to be hard if we don’t get the first goal. If we can’t take 3 points I struggle to see where we will pick up the necessary 14+ to stay up.

a must win

Personally I’d be surprised if teams didn’t survive with about 36 points this season, but yeah I do think it’s a pressure game for us. I think we’ll win

Opening the book for the first poster to say “ That’s it we’re down” after seven or eight minutes:
1/2 Yeold
Evens OCS
6/5 Buffey

Interesting that you think I'm that negative 🤔🤔🤔

Slacker

You’re right there’s probably a few between you and OCS but I’ve only got so much time to type .😉

OldCastleSwift

What if I say it now? 🤔

thornburyiron

It’s the battle of the bottom two.

Any bets on JW-P scoring from a free kick given away by Cresswell?
