I can’t wait for this. I hope some diet hun cunt runs onto the pitch again but this time Neil sees him coming and beats the living fuck out of him. :guns:
I expect the atmosphere to be pretty incendiary and more than a bit vitriolic. It would be a cracker to attend, I imagine.
I see Scott Brown’s ankle problem hasn’t settled down and he has to visit a specialist so he’s out indefinitely.
I’d like to see Wanyama retained in the side and Mulgrew to stay at centre back too.
Ledley is a doubt with a tight groin. Samaras should remain on the bench.
Also, Lukasz Zaluska should keep his place in goal. And Adam Matthews has been very impressive recently and should get the start at right back. Ledley’s having a scan on his groin today apparently.
I agree with that, particularly with regard Zaluska. Forster managed to stay relatively error free last season but he’s a poor keeper and he’s beginning let errors slip into his game more frequently. Zaluska is a more better keeper, takes crosses well, has good reflexes and can get down low to ball unlike Forster. He also spreads himself much better in one-on-one situations. If Zaluska cuts down his errors he can be a decent keeper, but I don’t think that will happen, he’s still a better option than Forster at this time.
I’d retain Ledley at left back if he’s fit, think I’d rather Loovens returned for Majstorovic though. Matthews should keep his place. Would like to see a midfield of Forrest, Ki, Kayal, McCourt. Little chance of Lennon trusting McCourt away at Tynecastle though. I hope to see Stokes and Hooper up front.
