Watching Pep Lijnders presser cos I'm bored.

Always struck by what a good bloke he seems - a real enthusiast.

which is far better than a rail enthusiast

Good to get used to him for when he takes over from Klopp

This is a thought that often gives me succour when I'm contemplating the end of the Klopp era.   Although I'm aware other great coaches have failed at the main job

[honourablegeorge]

Yeah, just think he'll be given a shot based on how highly he's thought of and FSG's habit of promoting from within.

[PaulMcC186]

His short spell at NEC might go against Lijnders. He got sacked after not getting them promoted.

 

[growler]

I think you play the squad who needs minutes then add in the kids around it. Gomez Tsimi konate jones ox, origi, minamino will likely play. Gordon will. Need a mini Trent and fab - not sure they are in youth teams.

And he's the cheap option. 

[Smith]

Anticipation running high for this one.

I hope for a Minamino worldie and a convincing win, 1-4. Minamino 2, Jones, Origi.

I’m with you on the anticipation stakes, but for a different reason.

The young lad Gordon had a big splash as our next megastar in some of today’s papers.

Apparently he can sprint, cross, shoot, dribble and outshine the rising sun before killing Dirty Harry in the style of James Bond.

The actual quote from the youth team coach when he first saw him play was, “Wow”, but I know what he meant.

You can’t beat understated hype, which is why I’m looking forward to seeing Flash Gordon’s first team debut tonight.

It's a shame we're not playing Bruges as he'd be up against Ming.

[Stevie H]

Norwich need a morale-boosting win of any kind so they may go pretty full strength?

Yeah, we'll probably bin Salah's contract and give this lad a shot based on how highly he's thought of and FSG's habit of promoting from within.

’Course. He’ll hit the ground with a bang.

So they'll put out a s*** team?

To be fair, they have lads like Pukki who are well capable of banging in goals, so we'll need a decent side if they go strong. They're kind of at a nothing to lose stage too.

When I say full strength I mean both fullbacks and Pukki yeah. 

[Gethin]

Team guess based on nothing

Kelleher

? Gomez Phillips Tsimikas

Jones Keita Ox

Minamino Origi Gordon

Although who the f*** plays the 6 role unless Fab or Hendo plays is anyone's guess

[Gethin]

 

 

Close then

[Stanley Leisure]

Quite like that side. Excited to see the new lads. 

[stressederic]

Looks like they're heavily changed.

[Gethin]

Really surprising that

 

[Jarg Armani]

Good team! Nice to see Adrian nowhere near, I was still half frightened he’d get games this season and get us knocked out the cups again.

[surf]

Keita, Jones, Oxlade... Any of them likely to play a holding role, or is it a full on gung ho midfield?

[PaulMcC186]

I reckon Keita will be the deepest midfielder.

[pipnasty]

What's the point of Norwich?

[Bootle Buck]

COYR!
