Go back as near as possible to last season's winning team and make the new players earn their places by putting in good showings as subs.

Ah yes let's attempt to get relegated by playing last years team and leave out all the really good players when a fair few of them have already proven they should be starting. The fact you'd drop Seri, MLM and Bryan straight off is amusing but playing Odoi is suicide, as well as the fact that Ream isn't fit enough to play. Oh and Sess at left back, we saw how well that went against Palace so sure let's revert to that. You've also not included our best holding midfielder in your team so how's he supposed to get back in the team when he shouldn't even be out of it. Just because a team can win in one league, doesn't mean it's fit for purpose in a better league

None of our multi million pound players have as yet proved their worth, except Mitrovic who was with us last season.

Jocanovic has said it will take time for the new players to settle and blend and we are hearing of communication and home sickness problems with the new keepers, we are at risk of more of the same against Burnley. Fielding this expensive but unsettled team against Burnley could well result in another defeat leaving us rock bottom of the table.


Of the new big money signings Seri is the one who has shown real class and could prove to be worth the price we paid for him but he operates almost entirely in the middle third and is not going to make the runs into the box and score the goals that Johansen does. We need johansen's runs on Sunday.
