Matchday Surgery January 12

The Saturday Surgery

764 Comments
Share

With ninety minutes to go before the gate drops down on our Gameweek decision making, there’s likely to be plenty still deliberating the day’s dilemmas. The first of two back-to-back double Gameweeks hands us the potential of strong returns, although we find ourselves somewhat at the mercy of Rafa Benitez: an unenviable position when considering, wildcards, transfers and the captaincy. Our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to offer a crumb of comfort for those seeking real-time feedback for their theories and musings.

The day’s Dugout Discussion follows at 12.30 ahead of Tottenham’s trip to Loftus Road for the early kick-off. The pre-match preamble is looking purposeful on the touchline.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    In case it helps anyone with a last minute decision, Villa, Sunderland and WBA seem to have most injury worries affecting defences this week:

    Villa minus Herd, Baker, Dunne and Vlaar don't really have a fit 2nd CB

    S'land are missing 3 of their first choice back 4.

    WBA are missing first choice CB and both first choice DMs

    Cuellar > Azpil DONE

    Clyne dropped to the bench. Defence is now Jaask, Azpil, Cameron, Nasty

    Feels good for now, hopefully that remains in a few hours.

    Good luck everybody!

      Lambert for the double, but you could also argue it's a single since he probably won't get much if anything against Chelsea bar 2.

      So it's Lambert vs Villa OR Berbatov vs Wigan...

      I'd still go w/Lambs

    capitano choice

    A RVP - will score, maybe assist, bonus

    B Mata will play 120 mins maybe an assist or two

    C) BA - entirely unknown quantity

    I'm leaning towards RVP
