[Billyni]

Meslier
Ayling
Llorente
Struijk
Dallas
Koch
Klitch
Rodrigo
Rapha
James
Harrison

Just my guess
Bielsa likes Rodrigo in the 10
Dallas L/B

I’d go with that.
Bring Gelhard on for a run the last 15/20
Send Roberts to the run the bath last 5.

I can see it now well be 1 nil down and hell bring in Roberts to even the game out

Yeah you know things are bad when you’re right

Really won't miss their marauding yobs who pop up all over English service stations & train stations on match-days giving it large - good riddance hopefully to them.

It’s a game that we expect to win, so what can possibly go wrong

and I put Koch on Saint-Maximin for 90 minutes as he is their only threat

I'm not sure that St Maximin would like having Koch put on him for 90 minutes (or maybe he would?)

I fear this game may get physical with both sides keen for a must have win. It was the reverse fixture that put Bamford out, hopefully we don't have a repeat of that.

Yup I suspect it could descend to that. They have some big lumps playing for them too.

Think the key for us is to get the first goal then they have to attack which should make more space to exploit.

Think you are correct. they have nothing to lose. I will say that we can put a team that does not shy away from physical play. Strujik and Hedlje are big boys that can get physical. Dallas, James, Raph and Harrison are pretty durable and Klich does not shy away from contact.

Unfortunately, Rodrigo and Roberts seem to disappear when things get rough. I"m sure they will end up playing.

I love MB but do struggle to understand some very basic human nature traits on the way a game develops. If I was an opposing coach I'd always have thugs playing against us since it really takes us out of our game with certain lineups.

Indeed although as you say we now have some pretty big units fit and available. Koch is pretty tall and good in contact too. Dam James and Harrison also get stuck in.

I don’t think this is a game for either of the Rs to start and hopefully MB won’t think they are fully match fit.

Would be nice to repeat last season’s home result and would help with our GD (thanks for that Citeh)
