We're the easy game that they have left, let's piss on them chips and turn that away form around. Hopefully they crumble to the pressure rather than rise to it. we need to keep the same mentality as our last win. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir McGiven Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Well, understandable line-up. I mean Gana has both haters and supporters but as he was consistent in Sam's mind, that makes this line-up understandable. I could criticize this as being defensive again if it wasn't an away game and Siggy wasn't injured but I have nothing to say now. Bolasie deserved a chance this game with his performance last week. Good to see Cenk, Walcott, Coleman, and Baines together as well. How long will Siggy be out by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Disappointed to say the least. Brighton are a better side than Stoke and we've changed Sigurdssen for Gana. No Vlasic in sight either. Booooh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Probably a 4-2-3-1, with Rooney lying deep, Davies getting forward in the middle? I suppose any of Davies, Rooney, and Gana could get forward, but I hope Gana stays back. Let Coleman and Baines get forward, too. Not Gana, please.

barryj Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Well 3 of the back 4 have been around for ages so no excuses there. I think that’ll settle Keane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogs Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Again, only pick I disagree with there is Keane, but maybe Holgate just doesn't look good enough in training. Apart from that, that's our strongest available XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you one of these who believes Klaassen suddenly deserves a starting place? Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 The Ps would pick anyone other than Gana to price a point..... even an injured Siggy! I am starting to think that they don’t rate Gana? Matt and Sev 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gana has played in the majority of defeats. His form is woeful. Anyone should be getting a pick a head of him. Vlasic, Klassen, and Baningime should all have been considered before him. But given an attacking team won last game out comfortably you'd imagine you'd stick with that set up. I can remember first game of the season and Stoke won the midfield battle mostly down to Gana being positionally shite and Fletcher controlled the middle and found players in the space Gana left exposed.

Look, we all know your personal vendetta against Gana. Personally I think you're wrong, I think Gana does a job when he is allowed to play to his strengths, which is sitting in front of the back four and snuffing out danger. But my point is you're being disingenuous saying 'we've changed Sigurdsson for Gana' because you know full well it's not a straight swap. To keep the same shape as v Brighton we'd need someone else to come in and play in the hole with Rooney and Davies behind. The only real option would be Klaassen, which would be madness given how poor he has been. So as much as I can't stand Allardyce, he's made the right decision here.
