Not here Thursday? Lost his man on the first goal and gave away possession on the third. Wasted two final balls when he got to the by line and the usual great dribble was a bit head down into traffic. Not the only one to have a poor game but quite happy to have him on as impact sub today.

That's exactly what Mrs Wonder said.

Pleased with the 11.
Milner, Mitoma & JPVH were poor on Thursday. More solidity and power with Veltman, Dunk, Dahoud and Adringa.
The one thing I’d have done different is 5 specialist midfielders instead of playing Welbeck. Hope I’m proved wrong and he scores a brace.

I'm confused why again we have two number 9s (welbeck and fergie) up front. Our success has been built in 4-2-3-1 formation yet for second game it's looking like 4-4-2. Yes I know they all move around during game but can't recall last season us starting with 2 number 9s together

Let them disembark first though, eh?

I am surprised Lallana isn't starting Number 10, with Either Fergie or Welbeck on the bench. However, with Gross and Milner injured, there is only Beleba left on the bench to come on if the midfield needs changing

Then you haven't been paying attention as Welbeck doesn't play as a 9 under RDZ. Drops deep most of the time in a Kane type role

I thought Lallana should as ACM or 10.

Next up you’ll have to check out the Dildo Brewery in Newfoundland.
Also, Ljubljana is a wonderful place - very jealous!
Anyway, excited to see how we react after Thurs. Seagulls!

9 changes from Thursday, yet still a very strong line up

Where the heck is Van Hecke?
This looks like a strong line-up, massively bolstered by Dunk in defence.
I think this will be a match for some of our players to show their talent, especially Buonanotte and Webster who are yet to find their feet in this side.
The weather is great here on the south-coast and hopefully the football is too! In fact, I predict that we will get a clean sheet.

Apologies, that was a bit harsh. Maybe just a temporary grounding.

Without the diving?

Opinionated
If Dunk or Webster go off, Igor, Veltman or Estupinian will replace them and Lamptey will replace them. A very, very fluid defence...the same could happen in midfield.
There are so many players who can slot seamlessly into other positions it's astounding!
