[Khalekan]

Actually, I am looking forward to the game now......

See how this line up shapes up.

[DualityNSNO]

Be great to see Niasse finally play, hopefully before the 85th minute.

 

[RomanReigns]

good result for us so far in the norwich sunderland game

keeps norwich on 31 points with 4 games left which means that even if they somehow beat arsenal and man utd in their next two games and win their last two games the most points they can get now is 43 points.

with our superior goal difference a win today should definitely see us safe for next season

 

[dublinbluenose]

No Niasse again ha ha ha

Gibson and Osman was terrible 3 years ago ffs

But they didn't have Besic enforcing for them then

WEIRD MANAGER, JUST WEIRD

 

[LocalNative]

Niasse must be bad if Kone starts today after his shambolic performance midweek.

 

[blue to the bone]

Just out of curiosity. With Barry , mcarthy , besic and cleverly out. Who would lads have played in centre midfield today .

Didn't mean to put besic there apologies

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

No Niasse again ha ha ha

And the funny thing is, that with Lukaku on the bench we probably won't see Niasse get any game time again.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Brave line up that from Martinez. If it doesn't work he's going to get some grief.

Lukaku and Barkley on at 65 mins looks pretty likely though.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

But they didn't have Besic enforcing for them then

Problem for Besic is that he's going to have to have the work rate of two men today.

 

[strummer]

Changes had to be made and im happy with the 2 wingers picked. Besic gibson and osman can't really do any worse than barkley barry and mcarthy so I think it's worth a try. Kone ahead of niasse is worrying though

 

[DanEFC92]

Niasse is Ali Dia

 

[malmic]

Rather then rest players Martinez should take the rest but hopefully we will be safe after the 90 minutes
