Hmmm...back to 4 at the back, with any luck. If Shelvey is fit then I'd like to see Rafa start him and see how far he gets rather than start with Hayden and bring him on when we're inevitably losing. Don't know where Lascelles' head is at the moment but he's been shocking ever since signing that new contract and I'd bench him. If Shelvey isn't fit I'd rather Longstaff got a shot before Hayden.

I reckon he will play with the wingbacks again and make a lot of changes. We really do need 3 points today but wont be easy

Will Benitez go for it , bearing in mind games to come , or sit back have 25% possession and hope for a goal from a free kick .
Judging by the Shiite below us .. If get another 15-18 points, it may well be enough .
So just write off the next few (excluding Cardiff ) and hope to pick up the points v the Shiite below us .
The strategy worked v Watford at home .. They couldn't buy a goal , finishing was all over the place maybe the same again.
I’d go for Zippity’s first line up. I think Fernandez/Schar is our best CB partnership. As for Lascelles head it’s probably still pointing the wrong way after putting the cross back into the path of Lovren.
Atsu Perez and Rondon up front .. Gawd
Shelvey is fit but Hayden is preferred and Lascelles is in AGAIN ahead of Schar. We have to feckn win today.
