Worst thing about Europa we’re always playing Sundays these days.

Tbh I can’t tell you what we’re gonna get in this game. I wouldn’t bank on us to win it.

On paper we should walk it, yet this season well...........

Cardiff have a chance of staying up and are fighting for it. They work hard and are useful in the air.

No predictions from me.

Kepa

Azpi  Christensen  Luiz  Emerson

Jorgi

Kante       RLC

Cho       Higuain       Hazard

I think the above is our most balanced lineup

Usual lineup with kova the other midfielder and willian in for Pedro.

 

Cardiff win.

That would be a good lineup but I'm afraid we will probably see Rudiger instead of Christensen, Kovacic instead of RLC, and Willian/Pedro instead of CHO

The only thing we'll get from this game is another headache ....and probably another manager change

I expect nothing less, however that's our strongest 11 imo.

Higuain better score !

Another game against a team who will shamelessly park the bus for 90 minutes and banking on a mistake or 2 from us. If we don't score a couple before half time, it will turn out to be another one of those familiar outcomes. We should play the Europa league team for this game, I bet Cardiff aren't going to be prepared for that.

Hopefully we get an early goal, we must be due one of Luiz's long range passes to Pedro.

Otherwise yes it could be tricky.

There's nothing wrong with parking the bus, thats football. If Cardiff do it and get a result that's our problem. We need to put the right players on the pitch to get around it.

Would anyone be surprised if we lost this? I know I wouldn’t.

I won't be watching unless we change the line-up. If it's the same as Everton, Sarri can go f**k himself!

At least 'real football' will be back.

I've no interest in the International Football. Just hope we have no injured players after the international games.

I swear you lot live in the dark, listening to Radiohead on repeat with the only light source your screens as you post your happy thoughts on here. 

We’re going to win because I’m going and I have my voice back!

Without our best defender?

This is our best line up. We really lack creativity in our defence though, and its something we should look to sort out at the end of the season, apart from Luiz, we don't really have any of our full back that can create chances for us which is one the reason why we struggle against teams that sit back and pack the bus. Gone are those days when you can rely on Azpilicueta to give a good cross that can result in a goal.

Are you joking? The bloke is more defensively naive than Luiz. On par with Zouma.

Christensen has been shakey for ages though, he's gotten better in recent games but I wouldn't put him above Rudiger.
