Got no probs with that team.

Oh, I know the Osman fume will begin. Probably has while I type this actually.

Nice legible teamsheet as always

 

[Buckers]

Got a good feeling about this tonight.

Sorry to jinx it boys.

 

[neil999]

Have Barkley and doofthaloof started together before?

 

[ToffeeTownMilto]

Why play Osman on the wing (who isn't a winger) in favor of Mirallas or McGeady? (who's looked impressive)

Could be a long night...

 

[Ring master]

Surprised about the teamsheet, neither negatively, nor positively, concerning both Barkley and Deulofeu. Don't think they have started together yet, and always thought this was one of Roberto's game plans. Surprised we haven't seen McGeady/Mirallas over Barkley tbh. Especially away

 

[Jayhow15]

That Yanga-Mbiwa is awesome by the way !

 

[coollino]

At least Ben Arfa is on the bench, think he is too fat to play the whole game.

 

[quasi modo]

I thought McGeady deserved another start he did well on Saturday, Osman though.

Gunna add I'm a little excited to see both Barkley and Deulofeu though. Osman playing a Pienaar role? And wow, what a bench...

I think the logic is Osmans experience will help with the 2 youngsters playing, also could Barkley play from the left? Or Osman could be playing more centrally allowing Baines up the left bit,A N aL ySI s

Martinez really chopping and changing that front 3 behind Lukaku.. not sure if that's a good thing in the short term.

Even if Mirallas was crud last week he still got 2 assists.. McGeady should of been starting here too! Deulofeu, Ossie and Barkley need to be very, very good to beat these tonight!

[GwladysBlue]

Osman is the new Neville, just no getting rid of him!
