5:30. Still can't believe Faurlin is playing! Was exhausted after about 60 minutes vs Walsall. Oh well, I can see why we've gone with Granero and Faurlin in midfield, both will control the game and wil be picking out passes from everywhere!

Way too early for my liking.

and Adel cant even make the bench, 2nd game in a row! is he injured?

Our bench looks really strong.

Most balanced team selection Hughes has picked since he has been here. Expect to see a decent performance from us.

Love Cisse and Taraabt but they just don't fit into a defensive team selection.

Zamora will hold onto the ball and Johnson will work well off his flick ons. Faurlin and the Pirate are much more solid in the middle. Park is a wide player and SWP has been on fire all pre-season. Glad Hill has been dropped, Bosingwa much more solid than Onuhoa.

All in all pretty pleased with how we line up. Hoilett / Cisse off the bench from SWP and Johsnon.

2-2 draw for me.

Any streams????

[qprnaas]

Yeah its a pity Taraabt is not even on the bench.. I suppose he's too big of a liability in a game like this

[Norths]

Taarabt on international duty apparently, anyone know if this is true?

You will see Zamora drop deep and Johnson is full of running to stop them playing e, playing out the back

That´s why Cisse is dropped. We need Johnson to run at their defenders in this match. I do also hope that we can be able to keep some form of formation from the start.
