Gutted no Allan, had we had him in the midfield would feel alot more confident.

It's been far too long... UTFT!!!

Sky have spent most of mnf talking about a RS fullback and nothing about our team who kick off in 15 mins

I don't know why people get so bothered by this still, Sky have kept the same format for 20 years, Andy Gray was playing with computer screens and talking about the weekend fixtures and major talking points long before Neville and Carragher.

Our best 3 attackers back on the pitch together and we have people moaning Josh King isn't starting lol crikey, can't wait for the season to end.

We've got 2 midfielders playing and they've got 4, could be difficult for us to get the ball.

 

[GwladysBlue]

He also has to do better. His tactics have been atrocious for a good few months now.

I've absolutely no clue what's in store here lineup wise. Looks like wing backs again which i think is a mistake against Palace. Holgate? Midfield maybe.

I know many of you have dealt with years of defeats and hopeless seasons thus the pessimist outlook. But while I have not been a Blue fan for long, I have been a Colombian fan for 30 years so I know all about following a team that wins nothing and at times is full of disappointments. My main issue is doing all the crying before nothing has happened. It sucks that Allan got hurt but let's give the team, and Ancelotti a chance before doing all this boohooing. I'm just happy of seeing them play some ball again today and still hopeful we can win.

There is overreaction for every game pre-match. Except, I think, that first match when we literally had everyone fit. There was a match eons ago that the prevailing comment was "With the exception of our keeper I don't have a clue where anyone is playing". It was true actually, the setup was crazy.

Pregame fume is a rite of passage here.

That stat! FFS

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Come on James. Grab this game by the neck

 

[TheBigIguana]

You guys thought Sky doing a Alexander-Arnold segment was tough well we've got a Declan Rice segment in the US right now

 

[riddick]

Carlo said recently we have 8 cup finals left in the season. I'm really annoyed seeing just how poor we seem to come out of the gates. I hope his comments carry over to the team because if we want any shot at making Europe much less CL we need to start performing a lot better than we have.

 

[GwladysBlue]

They’re all holding their nose in the tunnel

 

[arbok]

2-0 for me. James and Richarlison.

We are missing Allan and Doucoure in the middle - that's going to be big.
