What a selection headache Garry is going to have come the Chelsea game.

Some big players are definitely going to be disappointed, I guess a lot of it depends on the formation ?

Very kind of you but I'm not sure I'm ready for a place on the bench.

No Dyer or Bartley in the squad ?

The lynch mob will be after you Shandy

Pretty much the team I would go with as well.

Barring no injuries, I think it picks itself apart from Tabanou v Taylor and Shelvey v Montero/Routledge which will depend on whether we play 451 or the diamond.

I think Taylor will be first choice until Tabanou settles in to the club a bit more.

Chelsea beat us 9-2 over the 2 matches home and away last season and I am sure Garry will be looking to keep it tight at the back this time around.

I would expect the diamond again with a similar game plan to the Arsenal away match last season.

Fabianski

Naughton Williams Fernandez Taylor

Shelvey Cork Ki

Siggy Ayew

Gomis

I'd have to go with this as well, however you have to imagine how many sides in the league would leave Montero out of their starting XI.

Hope we don't see too much of the diamond next season. We phased it out towards the end of the last campaign and were much more fun to watch as a result.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Don't seem to have used it at all in pre-season. We'll have to see what Garry uses against Depor, but I expect to see the wingers out there against Chelsea.

As per the OP, interesting choices Monk has to make. I think he will want a solid,disciplined team out there and think Jeff might sit it out and be produced later on in the game. Siggy ? funny one....he has been quiet by his own standards for a while but then he can (and frequently does ) deliver. I cant see him being used out wide if going with 2 wide men with Ayew being selected on left as most think or if Ayew is behind a front man then again where would he fit ?
Cant just pick the 'best' players and squeeze them in it dont work like that ,as im sure GM knows !

It's going to take a good manager to keep everyone happy.

It feels mad leaving JJS and Routs out.

I think we will see the diamond, but only against the top teams home and away and in other games that are considered relatively more tricky.

In the vast majority of home games we should be going 4231 as Jeff on one wing and Ayew on the other with Gylfi behind Gomis should be more than enough to trouble most teams in the division.

Couldn't agree more.
