Yes '64 exactly that team.
Forshaw was far better than Saiz against Ipswich and deserves to start

Quite right I had forgotten ..Pontus to start for Beradi

I’ll allow one mistake, don’t let it happen again.

I think Saturday is important as we are top (just) a home game on the back of a much needed victory AND getting some key players back (Douglas/Forshaw/Roofe and Hernandez). So a win would be fantastic to keep it going and steady the ship a bit

Harrison doing the presser with Bielsa so looks like he’ll be starting

I almost think their mindset is "we sugned him so dont want to spend 50 grand on a bench warmer" whether or not he is the best man for the job

If its true Bielsa personally intervened to get him here then i imagine he wont drop him often.

Respect and all for Pep.

Just as long as it doesnt lead to the sidelining of our own Jack i dont mind.

No way were paying him 50 grand, doubt Bielsa is just playing him for the sake of it, fully fit squad he’s on the bench

Don't think they'll be happy unless they win . It should start to create a little buffer between them and outside top 6. Their home form lately hasn't been that good in terms of results so to follow up Wednesdays win with another keeps that confidence level high.

According to Bielsa

Roofe & Pontus will start

Pearce possibly at LB with Alioski moving forward into his usual role

Forshaw could start

Berardi out as is Douglas who is set to play in the U23's on Monday.

Rumours circulating that Klich may miss the game due to his wife giving birth

Unfortunately Douglas is not ready to start today so hopefully Tom Pearce will be given an opportunity after his 30 minutes seasonal debut v Ipswich

Please not Dallas

I hope not Dezzy

Why would Bielsa start Harrison after his poor performance v Ipswich ? surely Marcelo wasn't impressed

You wouldn’t think so would you, doesn’t warrant a start, but you would think whoever does the presser plays? Is Douglas back? If he is you would imagine Harrison would be in the bench

Agreed.
Or if not that, Alioski at LB with Clarke in front of him.
But not Dallas.

Didn't MB say Alio was playing up field today which wouldn't leave any room for Harrison, unless he thinks Harrison can play the Saiz role.
