    Gordon

    Lustig Oconnell/Toure Sviatchenko Tierney

    Brown Bitton McGregor

    Roberts Griffiths Forrest

    Rogic, Dembele, Izzy all great attacking options if need be

    I think we will overcome them eventually - I predict 1:0

    I'd go with that as well... Hopefully Erik's back.

    Transfermarkt saying Erik is due back on August 1st but he's meant to be out for a month.

    I'm surprised how many ST holders haven't picked up their seats.

    Possibly Dev, i was thinking Rogic just slightly infront of the 2. I'm no totally against it though at all as I rate the wee man, despite today. Just noticed him (and Armstrong) getting bullied far too much for my liking, and Bitton and Rogic to an extent, are far more imposing when on song. Rogic has that extra bit of guile and can be a match winner, on that perfect pitch of ours..

    I'm torn..

    He did mention it, and after rewinding it I can deffo see his point. Haven't noticed his other digs mate but I've found him very good in our game's and a good pundit..

    Can't believe there's so many tickets not taken up by season ticket holders,maybe they where holding out for today's scoreline?

    Anyway,it just picked up 3 cracking seats in 439 right near the front!

    I think this game should be selling out with its importance.

    Yeah he always has at least one or two things to say negatively about us but he is much better than he was, his analysis and general knowledge of the game is decent though and he speaks well.

    generally though he is a lot more positive and less controversial.

    id go-

    GORDON
    LUSTIG SVIATCHENKO/TOURE/O'CONNEL TIERNEY
    BITON
    ROBERTS BROWN ROGIC FORREST
    GRIFF

    I'd say we need to match them up in the wide areas again- they were most dangerous down our flanks so we nullify it. We use out own pace and trickery down the wings.

    Biton sits brown and rogic play further up. we are a 5 in the middle without the ball and break into 4-3-3 in attack with shooders and paddy joining griff in attack.

    We need to be solid but flexible and quick in attack.

    Bring Bitton in for Armstrong and Rogic for Dembele, control the midfield and get plenty of passing and movement in behind Griffiths.

    Don't know if season ticket holders just forgot to buy tickets? Only had about 5 days to buy them and I only remembered yesterday evening to get them. Still think we'll have about 50k there given today's game and the magnitude of it.

    It was a bit silly putting them on general sale today, I bet a lot of ST holders were waiting to see what today's score was.

    Possibly aye. Although it gave me the chance to snap up some pretty good seats, so no complaints here :icon_mrgreen::smiley-laughing002:
