eek?

[Vexed]

ludo21 11:40 Thu Nov 30 He's scored four goals this season. Something like two the entirety of last season. I'm not getting too excited.

[ludo21]

"Well, he's obviously not in the team for his passing is he. He's there because he has a knack of being in the right place at the right time both defensively and in front of goal... we've got plenty of players who are comfortable on the ball. Obviously it would be better if Soucek could string a pass together but perhaps the reason why he only averages 17 successful passes is that everyone knows that is not his strong point and he is not generally passed to if another option is available... he then concentrates on getting in the right position either defensively or in attack to do what he is good at."

[fraser]

"Time poor old Tomas was given a break! Averages 17 completed passes per game, starts every game. Don't you think poor Tomas is getting a break? Shouldn't be in the starting line up"

[ludo21]

"Vexed - Say what you like about Soucek though, the bloke is hardly ever injured. ... and he scores in every game (for club and country). Time poor old Tomas was given a break!"

[Vexed]

"This is turning into a tricky game, the number of players we have out. Soucek for Alvarez then, eek. Say what you like about Soucek though, the bloke is hardly ever injured."

[fraser]

I don't think Alverez has gone.

[Nutsin]

Another big win in Europe tmw for Moyes Boys. If I’m not mistaken that should put him at 5-1 for November…. Impressive month!

[Mickey Rat]

"Those of you lads who have gone out there look after each other and stay safe, not sure we're too popular with the locals"

[daveyg]

"You mean they are fully on with Moyes out. Mubama,Chesters,Anang and two other u21's have travelled maybe Scarles or Orford .Coventry,Zouma and Johnson too pictures on OS"

[DukeofDevo]

Rossal 2:08 Wed Nov 29 That should get a result

---------------------Fabianski Coufal--------Mavro----------Aguerd---------Emerson -------------------------Alvarez -------------JWP-----------------Paqueta Cornet--------------------------------------------Benny --------------------Moobs If I see Ings or Fornals or fucking Cresswell starting I'm gonna do my nut.

Claret n booze is a fucking shit show presented by know nothing morons.

[fraser]

"Mubama has travelled, apparently someone told them he'd been left out the euro game, they meant Lyon."

[fraser]

"Mubama has travelled, apparently someone told them he'd been left out the euro game, they meant Lyon."

[daveyg]

"According to Claret n Booze, Mubama hasn't traveled either. Moyes wants to give Ings another crack"

[swindon hammer]

Kudus is feeling unwell and hasn’t travelled while Bowen won’t be risked but the club are hopeful he will be back for the Palace game.....

As fraser says we can’t wrap up the group win lose or draw tomorrow. If we win tomorrow then we qualify for the last 32 and then only need a point against Freiburg to win the group and go straight through to the last 16. If we lose or draw tomorrow and Olympiakos beat Frieburg then a loss against Frieburg in the last game will probably knock us out of the tournament so we need to put out a strong side tomorrow and make sure we win.

[fraser]

"Freiburg have a tough game so this gives the opportunity to maybe wrap up the group. We can't wrap up the group, we need at least a point against Freiburg... If we win and they lose tomorrow Freiburg will only need to equal our result against them a one goal win and we will be level on points.. and head to head.. Though not sure how it's settled after that, maybe goal difference and they're ahead at the moment."

[goose]

as per most comments i'd go with strongest possible line up. kill them game as early as possible - then rest key players where possible. Freiburg have a tough game so this gives the opportunity to maybe wrap up the group.

[Fauxstralian]

"My attitude for these games is to go as strong as possible, get the game won and then take players off. Bowen last kicked a ball against Forest on the 12th, could probably do with an hour run out rather than playing Palace after 3 weeks without a game"

[daveyg]

"Ludo Marshall can't play as he doesn't fit in the squad under home grown rules. Not sure if that applies for all the Irish boys,Forbes didn't make the squad injured again I presume. Chesters came off after 69 minutes. He was training with the men this week. May make the bench but I doubt there will be any others,they have a game on Friday too. Robinson who replaced him will be adequate replacement. The bench will therefore include Bowen and several of the over 30 crew."

[onsideman]

"I see they inflicted a first league defeat of the season on the leaders, Partizan Belgrade at the weekend. 4-0 away"

[paul6565]

"This game has to be attacked from the beginning, we require a good solid attacking performance."
