Had a decent wee debate around Niko during/ after game and it was split on if he should start on Sat? His vision and passing is like no others in the team, however, he has zero pace and if game is played at a decent tempo he's a man down. Do we have enough energy in team to cover him? Thoughts guys? What XI should Murty start with and can we play a high pressing in their faces game when Alves likes to sit so deep?
Team I'd go with:
Fod
Tav Wilson Alves John
McCrorie
Candias Holt Barjonas Windass
Morelos.

Well the game will be played at more than a decent tempo because that's the way they play. i'd prob start him because we’re down to the bare bones but if we had a fully fit squad then not a chance he would start

hoping to see mccrorie get wired right into lego muncher. sick of him swaggering about like he is iniesta

I’d go with that team Scotty but go 4-1-3-2 with windass up top with Morelos

My team would be fod tav Wilson alves john - mccrorie- jack holt atakayi hardy morelos ano jack might not be fit so if not I'd put bates at the back to make a back 3 and ano it would be atakayi's debut but Walter gave young guys debuts in big games so why not play a wild card nothing to lose in this it's a free swing let's take it

McRorie loves a 50/ 50 and one against. Brown will surely wet his appatite

One worry about Jack playing on Saturday (of course I realise that he is probably unfit) is that he could get a red card, provoked by you-know-who

Foderingham
Bates Alves Wilson

Bates? You have to be joking. Did you miss the Kilmarnock game? Boyd looked like a £10m striker against that clown

Brian G, you're truly needing to get a grip mate! I don't think bates is the answer for us longterm, but common calling the young centre half a clown, isn't called for! Have a word with yourself!

Ok supercooper he is a poor player not good enough for the team

Thought Nico did well for 60 mins last night and hiis class and eye for a pass was good. Not sure about Saturday though as we need it to be a battle all over the pitch. Think we should play 3 at back, flood the midfield and battle. Assuming Jack not available my team would be:
Fod
Bates, Alves, Wilson,
Tav, McCorie, John
Candelas, Holt, Barjonas
Morelas

Herrera? What on earth has he done to merit at start in front of Morelos?

Arthur D,
I know where you are from but I think Herrera's first touch is a lot better than Morelos', he holds the ball up better, is better in the air and maybe - just maybe for this game he would score half of the chances that Morelos has missed recently. AND I think Morelos would be in danger of getting sent off if things are not going our way!
