Indeed.

And you would think today was a better day to go with the strongest team as it is a more "winnable" game.

I'd think today was a better day to go with a more attacking minded team.

Not that I disagree on Lennon, but lets not pretend that teammates arent going to praise teammates regardless of performance or whos most fit for a job, especially young ones talking about a veteran.

Especially a veteran winger playing in front of a young/rookie right back who was in horrible form before this started happening...

Lennon helps defensively and is fast and has a cross on him going forward. No idea why we'd introduce Lookman or Vlasic in this situation, as starters at least. Disappointed they're not on the bench again, but there we go, can't win 'em all.

Wow, a 7-2-1 formation. Don't think I've seen that before.

Good afternoon mein frandel, have you been well over the christmas period?

Good dinnertime Van Orly Frandelino.

Its been a very good festive period and birthday here, lots of la familia, lots of eating and the occasional snowball to drink.

Hope you had a super time also.

Bench is so poor. No Sandro, lookman or vlasic. Only pace is bolasie

Can see a load of changes today and a defeat. I'd take it if it means we win on Friday night.

It's the team that started against Chelsea, but with McCarthy in place of Davies.

There will be some tired legs today.

Bournemouth today, ManU on Monday followed by a trip to Mordor on Friday, and people are fuming about the team selections here ?
I hope we get a scraggy 1-0 win with one of our two shots on target.

Actually on further examination Lennon, despite his good defensive work rate, is pointless. He has scored 0 goals in the league over the past 2 season. A winger who has scored 0. In 1200 minutes.

So yes, thats why we cant score, because we play only 3 players forward, 1 hasnt scored in 2 years and a second has only scored 4. Meanwhile Niasse still rides the bench scoring 1 per 90 minutes.

You may have answered your own question... we will park bus against both those teams, it would have been nice to at least try a bit in this match. Who knows maybe we will but I’m expecting to be dominated in terms of possessions by friggin Bournemouth.

Shocking team selection. WBA showed us exactly the way Allardyce wants it, boring garbage. If he carries on like this he should be out at the end of the season. Hopeless dinosaur as you say mate

THIS is a hopeless dinosaur....

I guess the other teams have better attacking players than us then.

Instead we have 2 young wingers who arent quite there yet a player thats been out for a year and a moody belgian fella.

They offer a lot more going forward than Lennon does. Yes theyre still a bit raw but they will only get better by playing most of the time.
