Team news: Romero ruled out for rest of season through injury after he was forced off in our defeat at Sunderland. Bentancur and Bissouma are available once again. Vicario remains out. Maddison is not yet ready to return to action. RDZ yet to decide who will replace Romero as our captain for 6 games

  1. Is it crazy that I prefer our chances with Danso in for the remaining matches? Armband to Porro then Gray.

  2. The captaincy should award from trial by combat. The one with the most fight will previal , the other…

  3. I can’t believe we might end the season with the Bentancur, Bissouma, Maddison midfield

    Archie Gray for Captain. 

    Danso in for centre back. 

    Don’t play bentancur or any other “recently returned”.  Give our younger players a chance instead.

    The fact he didn’t immediately give it to Van De Ven means he knows what he’s doing with the players

  6. Hope Bissouma can regain some of his Brighton form if he plays

    Don’t leg bentacur on the pitch at Villa next week, not unless he has a swat team to guard him from you know who.

    As for captain? Whomever it is. Hope they do post match interviews.

    Gray is still a kid. Should not have the arm band… YET. Should either be Porro, Pombo (has been in this fight before with Everton, has experience), or VDV.

  8. In other news, Romero should be fit and fresh for Argentina’s world cup campaign.

    We need stability and confidence in what we do for 6 games to have a chance. He’s arguably the best we have at those two things now.

    I don’t want Archie to have the armband yet, tbh. He will wear it for England one day but now is not the time. He simply doesn’t need that mantle on him in this scrap.

    Speaks to his quality that he hasn’t lost his head being as young as he is going from young footballer of the year and European champion to 2 points adrift of relegation and on his fourth manager in 2 years
