Williams is f*cking paper thin. He's good but it's pissing me off.

Williams injured? That's a big blow. We could have done with his marauding runs on the counter tonight!

[Royal Ginger]

Ledge on the bench! Love it!

[@sonkimarsson]

I don't think I have a clue what formation we're playing in here.....

[Pepe the Horseman]

Will probably be trying that shitting diamond

[Royal Ginger]

I'm guessing 4-4-2 with Obita on the left, in the middle and Drenthe on the right?

[Royal Ginger]

Will probably be trying that shitting diamond

Scratch what i said, that's probably right.

------Le Fondre---Pogrebnyak------
Obita---Guthrie--McAnuff--Drenthe
Bridge---Pearce---Gorkss---Gunter
--------------McCarthy--------------

I reckon.

[Royal Ginger]

Would love to see Leigertwood get a run out today, even if it's just a token injury time cameo.

------Le Fondre---Pogrebnyak------
Obita---Guthrie--McAnuff--Drenthe
Bridge---Pearce---Gorkss---Gunter
--------------McCarthy--------------

I reckon.

Correct except Gorkss plays on the left of central defence. And I'd expect Jobi to play left of central midfield.

I think a few people are underestimating Harte's defensive intelligence when saying McCleary against him is a no brainer. McCleary has had the pace to beat most fullbacks he's up against and yet he hasn't done it much recently. Sometimes it doesn't matter how fast the full back is if they defend intelligently. Griffin was a master of that for example.

Oh actually Obita might go central as he played there competently early on.
