Certainly does...There seems to be some very delusional people about where we currently are as a club.

I agree. That's why I included Ndidi or Skipp and Winks in there to hold the midfield. They need creativity as well which will come in the shape of Buonanotte or El Khannouss. Mavididi and Ricardo just make sense.All out attack is obviously a bit daft
Almost, but not quite, as daft as playing Skipp, Winks and Ndidi in the starting line up
Hopefully will be something in between
Is it that attacking? It's changing a RB for a RB, a LB for a decent LB option whilst still including two defensive midfielders....You might want to see that line up, but I think the chance of us starting with a team that attacking, is fairly minimal.
As is doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results.Daft as a brush.
Of course you would.I’d go with the same lineup as we did against Villa.

Nope, but compared to how we’ve been setting up, having two attacking wingers and an attacking central midfielder is a big step. I agree with BN, in that I think it’ll be Buonanotte and I reckon he’ll probably pick Mavididi instead of Fatawu, but not both of them.Is it that attacking?

It's hardly balls to the wall attack is it.

As for the full backs, it could happen, but he hasn’t shown any inclination to change that position yet, so I just can’t see it happening.
I don’t disagree, but I’m trying to separate what I think/want, with what Cooper seems to have done so far. The full backs have been pretty set, so I hope he’ll do something hing different, but the evidence thus far is that he won’t.Ricardo is an odd one. He's clearly one of our best eleven but Justin is just quicker and more able to tuck into the centre. Right now, that's the call and he'd be daft to change it. I'd have Justin, Ricardo and Kristiansen in my team.
Doing the same thing and expecting different results won't work. We need to win games. I can forgive the loss against Villa but the one against Fulham was completely self inflicted.Nope, but compared to how we’ve been setting up, having two attacking wingers and an attacking central midfielder is a big step.

I’m not disagreeing with your points, I’m just saying that Cooper hasn’t shown a particular motivation to change too much so far, so I suspect he won’t do anything particularly drastic. As I say, what you or I want isn't going to be what makes the difference, though.Doing the same thing and expecting different results won't work. We need to win games.

Like I say, only Ipswich have created fewer opportunities than us..... That's not a pretty stat.
But we are..and we have been since the start of preseason.It will be the same team as Villa - the setup almost worked tbf so Cooper won't see the need for big changes, plus we are also away and Cooper doesn't believe in winning away games.
Ayew will definitely be starting against his old team.
We're only 3 games in so I think it's a bit early to start saying we are just doing the same thing over and over again - I'm sure Buonanette started 2 of those anyway and it was only the Villa game we played Wilf/Winks/Skipp.
I think you're more than likely right. I don't think he'll make many if any changes. However, if he doesn't and we get rolled over again they'll be quite a few folk asking quite a few questions.I’m not disagreeing with your points, I’m just saying that Cooper hasn’t shown a particular motivation to change too much so far, so I suspect he won’t do anything particularly drastic.

Jesus, just **** him and have done with it.It’s been 3 games.
It’s clear some just haven’t taken to Cooper from the start, and now criticising at every opportunity, completely oblivious to the fact we’ve a newly promoted team.
