That bench doesnt scream "game changing" does it?

Kone straight back in. lol

Mirallas out after a game yet again.

Said before, he needed to make an impact when he started. He, and Lennon, didn't.

 

[quasi modo]

Back to the starting 11 that never won in a game in God knows how many weeks.

Don't worry dudes, @maccavennie has this one covered.
Cheers Macca, you're a star.

No probs Kev though I did tell Boberto that I didn't want to see Kone start and Mirallas to be made captain and he was like "sure sure sure" so I think I've been bobcorned a bit by our manager.

Honestly mate its crap.

Honestly mate its crap.

Plan B. Score first, lob the lot on.

 

[maccavennie]

we need a longer bench mate lol

Lennon is that small surely he could have just sat on Kevs lap?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Don't want to make any assertions before seeing how the game pans out but I'm extremely disappointed that McCarthy has just walked back into the team. Barry is clearly never going to be rotated, and Mirallas and Lennon were deemed not even good enough for the bench.

 

[Michaelcoyb]

Gutted Cleverley isnt playing

 

[riddick]

Just screams 'we don't need to improve in January' right here

 

[Sennott Street]

No changes for Stoke. Hopefully we'll be the fresher side with our rotation.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Personally glad that Martinez is doing more rotation, we have a lot of tough games in a short period of time. Hopefully will rest Barry vs Spurs as he's struggled in the past with their energy and pressing anyway.

Disappointed to see no Lennon or Mirallas in the 18.

Not a great bench. On the plus side, unless Stoke have made a lot of changes too, we may have an edge in that a fair number of that 18 didn't play much the other day.

 

[maccavennie]

No changes for Stoke. Hopefully we'll be the fresher side with our rotation.

Let's hope so mate. Don't like slagging off the team before kick off so I'm hopeful the changes made are for the good of the team and we come out firing on all cylinders

2 games in 3 days, yet Lennon and Mirallas have barely played and are not included. Interesting.
