Ulloa AND Slimani.

At first glance, that line up looks like Shakespeare has thrown all the players names up in the air and selected the first eleven that he picked up.

Fuchs as CB and Amartey as RB

If you're resting Simpson we have no one but Amartey who can play right back.

That has to be the worst possible strike combo we could pick.

Well I wasn't expecting that! An interesting partnership up front and a 'if it all goes belly up' subs bench! That said, it's attacking and positive. I hope Musa and Gray shine.

I think this means that Sheff Utd have also made eight changes.

I'm not sure it would have mattered what team Shakespeare had chosen, you would still have found something negative to say about it. We could win by five and you'd blame Shakespeare that it wasn't 6.

Having said that, we'll probably lose so you'll be able to fill your boots.

Good tactic. Put the two sulky faces up top and hopefully the defenders will be too busy comforting them to notice the hoofs into the box. 4-0 to us I reckon.

It's not far from the team I was expecting. I thought Okazaki would play alongside Slimani, and Simpson would play but not Fuchs.

Musa on the wing by the looks of that. Wish he'd have a chance playing as a striker.

I didn't think we'd see Mendy in a match day squad ever again. Still hope he comes good for us

I think that it is a sensible line up; good enough to win but with a few key players being rested. The front two do fill me with dread however. What with Slimani charging around like a bull with mustard on his cock and Ulloa lumbering about the six yard box trying to keep up it should make for interesting spectacle if nothing else.

Slim and Ulloa to run riot.
4-0 fixes. You heard it here first.

Not sure about Fuchs at center back or having 2 big men up front but they should have enough to win.

Hopefully Gray and Musa are allowed to get forward as much as possible otherwise we will lack any penetration.

I'm looking forward to seeing Mendy, hopefully he is motivated and keen to show what he can do.

1 - 2 Slimani and Gray.

So I presume we are not going to hit balls into the channels?
