[rweller86]

I think he might play Cairney, he is not 100% but I think he'll want him to start.

dropping Cairney from the squad?

[@jolslover]

I think he will go with the same lineup that started vs. Wednesday. But I would go Kebano over Sess.

I personally don't think we should see him until after the international break as he's not 100%. We cant play all 3 midfielders if they aren't all fit so a player like Cisse will be a godsend to defend the backs.

Yeah, good shout. I'd be tempted to have Sess at LB though but I am happy with Odoi there too.

Sess has played every match and needs a rest IMO or we'll burn him out for later in the season.

I think we need to try something different.

GK: Button

RB: Fredericks
CB: Kalas
CB: Ream
LB: Odoi

CDM: McDonald
CM: Cisse
CAM: Johansen

RW: Kebano

ST: Fonte

LW: Sessengon

More or less mine but you've switched Aluko for Sess. I think Sess needs to be rested. I also think Aluko playing would be a sign that he is staying around and not leaving. I am excited to see Cisse start again though, it's early but i'm already a fan.

[twang]

Button
Odoi - Kalas - Ream
Fredericks - Cairney - McDonald - Johansen - Sessegnon
Aluko - Fonte

Could be any from Ayite, Aluko, Kebano or Kamara next to Fonte though. Would prefer Ayite but I'm guessing that he won't be fully fit.

We wont change formation to three at the back. The time for that, if it was a thing, was last night.

[Marcel_Gecov]

Ideally I'd like to see

Button
Fredericks - Kalas - Ream - Malone
McDonald - Johansen
Cairney
Aluko - Martin - Ayite

Yawn.

Why would you play Ojo ahead of Aluko or Kebano?

[JoelH5]

I'd like this..

Button

Fredericks - Kalas - Ream - Odoi

- McDonald -

  - Cairney  -  Johansen -

  - Kebano       -      Kamara -

- Fonte -

Button

Fredericks - Kalas - Ream - Odoi

- McDonald -

  - Cairney  -  Johansen -

  - Kebano       -      Kamara -

- Fonte -

I like this. Kamaras strength is running in behind using his pace. Get him with a through ball between the CB and LB/RB and he will be in. Think that's the best way to use him. Not as a lone striker up top.

I agree... obviously  078.gif

The movement and pace up front would be outstanding which would give TC and Johansen the space to pick out passes.

First thought: 'Kamara on the left ahead of Ayite and Sess, are you mad?'

Second thought: 'There could be something in the Fonte controlling it to Cairney, who would have the angle on his left foot to slide Kamara in from the left. The way Henry scored most of his goals'.

Third thought: 'That sort of thing will take time to develop, so I'll put Ayite in there on the left'.

Aluko doesn't get a look in for me, I would also give Sess a rest really want to see Kamara start up front wide with Fonte in the middle
