Ipswich (H) - Sat 24th Aug | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[SWPISHOME]

Hopefully Erling`s first hatty of the season

If Ipswich defend like they done in the second half against the Dippers then Erling will be rubbing his hands together!

I’d be looking for Rodri to sit this one out as well.

I’d be looking for Rodri to sit this one out as well.

Same team that finished yesterday I would imagine with the likes of Walker, Stones and Rodri getting a run at some stage. I was pleasantly surprised with yesterday's performance and result so would expect us to have this game in the bag by the hour mark.

If Rodri is fit, he should play. Lewis deserves to keep his place. Grealish for Doku, who is a great option as a sub, rather than a starter, as it stands right now.

As above, I’d be tempted to bring rodri on near the end (all being well) and ready to start west ham.

Mostly same team as Chelsea for me. Depends on savinho

What a performance that night

To this day, I can't remember a better single goalkeeping performance over 90 minutes. It was like there was a forcefield around our goalmouth!

They are the weakest link..

never forgive, never forget !!

If you're still upset about a banner from 22 years ago, you need to give your head a wobble. By all means, don't forgive but, for the love of God, forget!

[Irlam Haaland]

Got to go for a win, be surprised if we got beat, stranger things have happened at sea .

 

[Gremlin]

Ipswich will play a 1-9-1 formation

That's more like a Pep formation - you know how he loves midfielders.

 

[BringBackSwales]

That's more like a Pep formation - you know how he loves midfielders.

I don’t think he is suggesting those 9 are midfielders

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

I expect a comfortable win, but they did go for it against the dippers, so we need to be clinical. 3-1 would be OK but hope for more

never forgive, never forget !!

Would love it for 1894 group to organise a banner for the game where they are relegated in whichever ground that's at

 

[dennishasdoneit]

Fond memories of this game:

Watched on the box, what a performance..

 

[Fordyboy46]

I bet Pep changes it big time for this game: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake, Kovacic, Bernardo, Lewis, Foden, Doku, Haaland

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Need to be careful in the first half an hour judging by their performance against the dippers. Last thing we need is to gift them something to hang onto.
Nothing more certain than Liam bagging a goal at our place - hopefully a consolation

 

[makinghistory]

They will be shitting in their pants walking out at the Etihad next to the 4 straight PL Champions 5-0 for me.

 

[makinghistory]

He could well do, Foden could well start depending on how Savio is after his knock yesterday.

I can't see Walker starting but definitely think he'll get minutes.

You could well be correct too, It's all a guessing game, I'd like Rico to keep his place though he deserves it.

Pep didnt at all seem too concerned about Savio.
