[CTID Hants]

Phil in the centre behind Julian

[sheblue]

Glad Rico and Josko are starting, along with Rodri our best three players against Arsenal.

[Mase]

Fuck is that team? I’d have started Susoho

[Nick]

Good team

Why the moaning ?

Two under performing egos dropped regardless of how it pans out.

They were both absolutely wank

That's about it, harsh but true

[Harry Dowd scored]

Some fans just cannot deal with the truth.

Blinkered !

Hallelujah !!..Phil playing in the role hes supposed to play in.

[carl_feedthegoat]

I’d play Haaland. He's had pelters from the media, especially Keane and Micah. I’d play him and remind him what they’ve said right before kick off - see what he’s made of.

He needs to change his fucking attitude then - right now all he does is wait for the ball in the penalty area and pretty much little else.

Not the same player as last season , last season his touch was good and his overall play was exceptional - this season hes become a lazy bastard and has the touch of a rapist.

still better than alvarez

As a goal scorer yes , as a footballer ? Haaland isn't even on the same hymn sheet as Alvarez.

I’ll buy that for a dollar

[sheblue]

I reckon we will be more fluid with that team. Plus villa missing a few so I am gaining confidence.

agreed. Alvarez has got some decent returns on the biggest world stages, his touch and craft are much better than alot give him credit for. Haaland is like Steve Claridge. How many would Jamie Vardy in his prime netted for us? probabably more then Haaland

Haaland definitely, KDB no, let him win the game for us then switch him out asap. Tonight is a must win game as is every following game to the end of the season. Pep has one eye on his next fixture and is will tinker

[john@staustell]

Tbh it did cross my mind when Alvarez wasn't brought on, on Sunday, that he would start against Villa.

Pep says people are rested as we have a game 12.30 Saturday

[johnny crossan]

Weird line up, think Pep's thrown in the towel.

Kev played the full game Sunday (another big one) in his main position and did fuck all

Foden was rightly subbed but was playing wide
