He will hardly play Torreira in this game seeing how if he gets a yellow he will be suspended for the victims game

Agree must start if he gets booked so be it,no way i can see us getting anything against liverpool.

Ideally he can get through the next couple of games and get booked against Fulham at home and gets the suspension against Blackpool.

Going to be tough because Murray will cause us all sorts of problems in the air will need yet again another 2 or 3 goals to get anything out of the Brighton game.

I'd be leaving him on the bench and only using him if absolutely necessary - I'm not saying that cos I think that we can do the victims if torreira is playing, but more that I fear that we will take a big hiding if he aint playing :worried: :worried: :worried:

I'd play jenks right back and push maitland-niles into his proper midfield position instead of torreira, or maybe just play ramsey in there

This will be a tricky little game. They are a niggly side who pick up more points at home than they really should. They have made it difficult for the big sides that have gone there and haven’t lost by more than one at home since March.

I want a clean sheet and a narrow win. To be repeated a few days later as we celebrate Invincibles Day. :barscarf:

Dont fancy us today 2-1 defeat Shane Duffy witj header for one of the goals!
Our defence is awful and its not thus far being addressed!
Think we need a “Bouldy out” thread!

Can't complain about the line up. That's as close to full strength as we can get.

Agreed as long as it is reverting to a back 4 and not a back 3 with xhaka - if ever there is a recipe for disaster, it is playing xhaka in the middle of the defence :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

An absolute must win game after today's results! Hopefully we do it with minimal fuss!
