Who should replace Gueye in midfield vs. Chelsea?

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Davies has looked calm and assured whenever he's played

Stick him in there and give him a chance

Didn't West Ham play a 16 year old against Arsenal last season and he played a blinder?

For me, the best thing to do would be for Koeman to pick Davies and basically say to him "There's no pressure, just go out there and play your natural game and enjoy the occasion"

Feel bad saying it but I'd be putting Cleverley in there and just hope and pray our attackers can score at least two goals. Him alongside Barry, with an on-form defence behind them should be enough to stop Chelsea scoring more than one or two... so pretty much depends if our midfielders (can see Mirallas being dropped as he's absolutely crap this season) can support Lukaku well or not.

I can't honestly see Cleverley doing much other than hide in this game.

I'd honestly play Lennon, as he'll track back, work hard and protect the defence

 

[Blue Cheese]

Would like to see Davies but it will be Cleverly.

I'd go

Stek/Robles (Depending on who is fit)
Coleman, Jags, Williams, Oviedo
Barry, Davies
Lennon, Barkley, Bolasie
Lukaku

 

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

Lennon should be given a game soon though, surely?

I mean, both Mirallas and Deulofeu have been atrocious in virtually every game they've played in, and we've only got Bolasie as a winger aside from those two and Lennon.

whenver hes been playing he has done nothing but hiding. All he does is take up space on the field so the opponent has to play around him.

This... Davies, in a perfect roy of the rovers world, should... do I have to add the 3 letter 'b' word?? - nah.

So it's Cleverly all day long

Where's the McGeady option?

Nothing would confuse Chelsea more. Wherever he is, bring him back just for this one game.

If we are going to lose, we may as well have a good laugh while we're at it.

This.

I do not think it will matter.

I thought Kev was fine at the weekend tbf, and against West Brom too, even getting a goal

Hiya Mickey, I can no longer buy into the potential promise of Kevin. He has had several years to establish himself as a bone=fide first teamer and has never done so. Blighted by inconsistency with the odd flash of genius. Osman-ish!
Others might disagree of course, but we need better.
If he was a top 4 player, a top 4 club would have been in for him!
