Ruiz on the bench! Oh Eck!

Where is Amore? Hughes at CB worries me greatly.

No Dejegah, Duff starts and Kasami starts? Never would of guessed this.

Very different line up from Jol today: (Note: Dejagah, Amorebieta and Kaca not fit)

With the bench being: Stockdale; Senderos; Briggs; Karagounis; Ruiz; Rodallega; Bent.

Happy with seeing Ruiz being dropped, best thing for the team at the moment. Kasami getting his chance is very good. Sad to see Duff and Hughes in, rather have Mesca and Senderos. Glad to see Jol changing it around, as needed, and hopefully it will work.

No wingers on the bench (don't say Hugo he's not a winger) and Ruiz isn't either

Taarabt can play wing... somewhat. Damien Duff? Ruiz has played right wing before, that was his main position for Twente. But I agree, no full on wingers such as Dejagah and Kacaniklic.

Oh heck,season only started & we have injuries to key players.

DJinNJ · August 17, 2013, 02:37:43 PM

I've checked multiple sites and I'm seeing Mikael Mandron instead of Mannone on the bench. Surely they'll have a keeper though...

Ordar · August 17, 2013, 02:41:43 PM

Well I think we can safely say that no-one would have predicted that team!

Anyone got a stream?

Some in another thread. I tried it but kept trying to get adverts off and porn pop ups made me. Come off the site. Bit suspect if the missus walks in.

Hopefully this surprises Di Canio as much as it did me :026:

Jol is a mind reader. How many asked for dropping Ruiz

Azeedo · August 17, 2013, 03:08:22 PM

Ruiz Bench = no possession

Azeedo · August 17, 2013, 03:12:03 PM

Boateng is Efing monster what a player

Aaron · August 17, 2013, 03:13:53 PM

Boateng and Taarabt are making me happy.

..Kya.ffc.. · August 17, 2013, 03:15:01 PM

I would not have guessed that line up even if I had 10 attempts.

Ordar · August 17, 2013, 03:15:05 PM

I think we've started well

Walsh · August 17, 2013, 03:15:28 PM

we're starting to look good in possession and not going backwards 24/7.

MisfitKid · August 17, 2013, 03:15:47 PM

Thank you NBC with the nice feed.

Kasami's problem is that he is too slow for the Premier League. .
