Does it even matter who plays anymore? The way we look most matches, all the players have already quit on Roy and his soul crushing system. If Mateta plays, he'll never see the ball, just like all our other strikers. Bats is a better player than Mateta or Benteke, and he can never even get into a game.

If Benteke and Townsend are in the starting 11 today, all my respect for Roy Hodgson is gone. I even contemplate switching TV channel to one of the other PL games...so sick of watching the same dross week in week out with a manager making NO effort to change it to the better. I have basically told myself the same this morning. If it is the same lineup and formation as against West Ham then I am really going to have to consider not watching.

You're all kidding yourselves it's Roy we are talking about it will be; Guatita You just know that..!! It would have taken him what 4 days digesting the West Ham game and in the same period in watching and observing players in training to see how he can maintain his 4-4-2 formation. Then after all that period of evaluation he'll come up with the same team, same tired formation and tactics. Then blame the inevitable end result on everyone else rather than taking any responsibility himself..!! You only need to look at England's return home following losing to Iceland to see quite clearly Roy will never accept any responsibility; Sound familiar..?? COYP Funny enough, Brighton fans are levelling the same type of accusations against Potter.

I'm expecting the same 4-4-2, should imagine the only change might be some straight swaps in defense as I'm not sure who's actually fit. Midfield/Attack will no doubt be: Townsend Luka Macca Eze Would rather see Edited by Arthur Blackpudding (30 Jan 2021 11.17am)

I'm hearing that Benteke is definitely dropped
Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it.. |

I'm slightly saddened by this thread as it shows people still have hope that we might attempt something other than 4-4-2. It's the hope that kills you.

I would expect Hodgson will go back to Ayew, in place of either Benteke or Townsend.

Drop Luka fo Jairo. No to PVA keep mitchell. No to Ayew as Benteke or Mateta will have more impact. Bats may as well go back to Chelsea as he will have one eye on the new mgr there so that he can show him how ineffectual he is too.
Bring back The HF! |

We have played 3 times recently and lost them all. The main reason is Wolves play 3 in midfield and whichever 2 Roy plays get overrun.

Where is Danny Butterfield when we need him? How we could do with a "Butters" special today!
