Gayle needs to score FFS otherwise whats the point of him?
Strangely I feel we will get a result today. ASM to score in a 1-0.
What on earth are we doing in training to cause all these injuries? Anyone would think we had a shit manager with outdated tactics. I don't remember having a run of injuries like this under Rafa...but I definitely remember going through some shocking runs under Pardew. Hmmm...
Anyway, back to today. At least Willock and Shelvey being out means he can't put Hayden in central defence (well, he could, but that would mean Hendrick starting-perish the thought)
Surely Mrs Doubtfire knows that 5 at the back is killing us but I'm going with what I think is our best 11 as opposed to what I think he'll go with.
.....................................Darlow....... ............................
Manquillo..............Schar.............Fernandez ..........Lewis
Murphy...............Longstaff...........Hayden... ..........ASM
..........................Miggy................... .........
.................................Gayle
That team stinks...Schar would need to concentrate a lot more in a 2 but is still a better player than Clark, Ritchie is a liability at wingback/full back but Lewis would need to step up, Joe Shinton is just fucking garbage and whilst Gayle is a Chimpo striker, he has, at least, an understanding of where he's meant to be in the box, Murphy is a sub-standard winger but there's no-one else, ASM would need to be super-disciplined and Miggy would have to prove the No. 10 role is really his best position. Longstaff would need to revisit his Rafa days if we're to have any creativity and Hayden will need to be the best version of himself.
Other than that, it's a winner.

This Chelsea City game has draw all over it.
Huh? Willock playing after being in a protective boot? Well, whatever, good news for us.
Darlow, Manquillo, Fernandez, Clark, Ritchie, Hayden, Longstaff, Willock, Almiron, Saint-Maximin, Joelinton
4 at the back!!!
I don’t know what Gayle has to do to get a game in that team
When will Bruce wake up and realise Ritchie is an awful wing back and cant defend for toffee Lewis must be thinking will he ever start a game again, Joelinton and Clark start yet again as well Watford will be rubbing their hands at that starting 11.
Got a feeling we might get one of those accidental wins today....
Get in...Longstaff!!
