Ha ha Cookie Burns, I had mine in April.

Cool man sadly the quiff has long gone.;)

Palmer over Grealish? LOL.

Well no, not directly because I'd have palmer on the right and it would be foden primarily off the left so if you want to simplify it to a 1 for 1 then no it would be foden for grealish.

If you bothered to read what I posted and watched us struggle to score against sheffield united and saw what Fulham did to Arsenal last weekend, even if you didn't agree with it, you'd see the reasoning is sound and nothing to laugh at. But keep up the quality input.

More bloody arrogance just like those predicting 0-4 at Sheffield Utd. Let us be clear. There will be no easy fixtures this season. If we win 2-1 on Saturday, I will be happy.

Me too although it could have just as easily have been a 0-4 particularly if haaland had sunk the pen!

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol
Rodri
Kovacic
Foden
Bernardo
Palmer
Haaland

Would love us to throw doku straight in but I think its unrealistic, especially as he hasn't even had a training session under pep yet. Fulham manager will be missing for this game too as he serves a ban already.

We've just seen how they can sit in and defend the area before threatening on the break against arsenal so i'd like Palmer to start to offer a better goal threat cutting in than grealish. Foden has to play if he's fit.

l “so i'd like Palmer to start to offer a better goal threat cutting in than grealish.”

But he doesn’t!!!

Pretty surprised to see Palhinha in the starting lineup for Fulham tonight versus Spurs. I'm not complaining, though.

That makes it even more stupid if you were suggesting we play Bernardo in the centre. Foden is going to play more centrally this season. Bernardo, Foden and Grealish walk into our strongest 11 so to suggest we drop Jack to accommodate Palmer is hilarious.

Yeah real stupid to suggest central midfielder come winger Bernardo silva, The guy who has won us multiple top of the table clashes almost single handedly from centre midfield over the last few seasons could play centre midfield...

Have you broke the news to Doku that he isnt going to get a game unless one of those 3 are injured? We don't have a defined strongest 11, the team changes regularly based on a multitude of things including the opposition and their likely setups and how we want to play. Rico lewis isnt getting in ahead of walker in a "strongest 11" either yet pep played him ahead of him multiple times last season...

I stated we could need more direct goal threat from the wings than what both grealish and bernardo offered last game if we and they perform similarly to pur last games. mahrez was the best option for that, with him no longer here, Palmer is now the best option with that particular attribute.

Prepare to be disappointed then as Palmer will not be starting. Grealish, Foden and Bernardo will all start. Foden will also operate more centrally this season with Bernie off the right. That’s fairly obvious.

Haaland gets his shooting boots on 4-0

Maybe they think he's of somewhere.?:-)
