Pre Match Pre Match - Ipswich (A) - Sat 12:30

[peterhague]

Can't see us winning this one now the Zubimendi deal has fallen apart.

Draw would be a good result for us and I think we can pull it off. I'll say 1-1.

 

[Squiggles]

--------------------------Ali
Trent-----Quansah---VVD--------Tsimikas
----------------Grav------Mac Allister
------Salah - - - - Szoboszlai - - - - - - Diaz
---------------------------Jota

It will be the Sevilla line up.

Elliott, Jones, Nunez and Konate and Robbo will surely get minutes.

We need to everyone up to speed sharpish using the 5 subs. Keep Gakpo fresh with the inevitable Jota injury in October.

He wouldn’t have started

 

[Modo]

Elliot is probably our best presser.

I don't know bout that. He is willing to press and does run a lot but how many balls does he actually win?

 

[peterhague]

He wouldn’t have started

His sheer charisma would have lifted the players and given us a chance to dispatch the Tractor Boys.

As it is, a draw is surely the best that Slot's men can hope for.

Despite playing 900 minutes more, SoBoss only made 2 more successful tackles than Harvs in the premier league last season.

I will put the ball in your court to find the stats

Szobo isn't a great tackler.

But here's where he stands out:

Recoveries: 171


Harvey:

Recoveries: 78

Don't forget that he was on babysitting duty basically the entire season.

3-0 all goals 2nd half. Match thread to be hysterical at HT and full of “I told you so” at FT

Robbo did 60 at the weekend which makes me think he’ll start.

The Boy:

Recoveries: 78

What do you mean by babysitting? Who was babysitting who?

 

[Modo]

What do you mean by babysitting? Who was babysitting who?

Our RB who wants to be a midfielder.

 

[MomoWASright]

Elliott was? I remember it was both.

 

[Modo]

Elliott was? I remember it was both.

No Szobo was babysitting Trent.

 

[MomoWASright]

As was Elliott

You mean covering for the person losing the ball the most.

 

[Modo]

Still Trent?

 

[MomoWASright]

Still Trent?

SoShite

 

[Fabio]

Elliott retained the ball better than szob last season. Do half feel that szobs got a touch of the kuyts about him ("his 2nd touch is a tackle"), but more he has to win back his own wayward passes.

 

[Buddha]

We’ll murder this lot, men against boys.

0-5

 

[dee]

They've just signed a DM. Madness!

 

[Red Bird]

Who? Phillips at £150k per week?

 

[Brizzle]

Hope he starts on Sat. Would upgrade prediction to 0-12

 

[MomoWASright]

Ben Doak, Kaide Gordon, and James Mc Connell have returned to the U21 side. Trey Nyoni will continue to train with the senior side, as he did today. Morton and Bajcetic remain with senior side.

Yeah that was expected

Ben’s done then

No Liverpool manager has won their first game in the league this century.

Nailed on defeat for the sky is falling in brigade to be out in force.

 

[MomoWASright]

Not one inherited a squad like this.

Not a long list

Just saw a headline that said Ed Sheeran now owns a stake in Ipswich. Pin that to the dressing room wall as motivation to batter them.

The fear is, footballers are probably the sort of people who like Ed Sheeran.
