The Saturday Surgery

It’s been a breathless week, punctured by a whole set of midweek fixtures that handed us further quandaries as we approach the weekend. Form, fixtures and injury doubts fill our heads with just over an hour to go but there’s time left to sample the views and opinions of your peers – our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open, to grab those nuggets in real-time.

The day’s Dugout Discussion follows around 12.30, with a tortured preamble on its way very soon.

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

      I am doing this as Michu away form isn't great. Felliani is a handful and can score against anyone.

    Call me unlucky but i missed a trick. Cazorla to walcott would have given me chance to do wisdom to enrique or am i finally getting lucky, by not doing that i might be doing better for my team.

      You can play it safe with berba on form or get an off form fletcher who has a double game week. Its up to you if you want to roll the dice or not. I'm keeping Rooney because I'm stubborn.
