I'd be keeping Struijk at CB

The pivot of Klich and Shack worked well against Villa after Struijk had gone off

He did well against Villa but that was the only time. I agree. His tackling can be a little dodgy.

Can't help feeling KP should have been pulled as soon as he went down on Monday.
This is all down to relying on a constant crock & not covering KP's position in either window especially as we missed out on Ben White who could play DM role.

Good luck to Pascal, he'll need it

Bielsa out. Hockaday in.

Struijk in midfield is horrendous.

He will.

Llorente can play DM but of course that plan hasn't worked out.

I really can't understand the Masters thinking, it weakens us at centre back...midfield and right back, just hope its not a mauling.

Midfield is crucial in this encounter. Play well and the back 4 have the protection they need. Have a mare and Arsenal could steam right through the makeshift midfield and end their unbeaten run against a hot and cold Leeds United. Here's to hoping our attacking options play a blinder.
If you don't know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere.

Meslier missing an option with no Phillips, could do with a midfielder in there

He worries me in there, feel more than comfortable with him at centre back. Weakened three positions here!
