Monday Night Football on Sky

Another 'weekend' where we're the last team to play.

Can potentially drop 3 places to 17th if Fulham beat Wolves by 2 goals or more at home, Burnley beat Arsenal at home and Leeds get anything away to Brighton. So we'll probably be 15th.

Sunderland in 4th at the moment after a brilliant start to the season. Moyes will no doubt get a rough reception, hopefully being a Monday night dampens their crowd a bit and I think it will.

Judging by Moyes' press conference then I wouldn't be surprised if Beto and Barry are both on the bench here. I don't think it's Ndiaye in his mind up top either. Wouldn't be surprised if Charly is up front.

I would go:
Pickford
Coleman Tarkowski Keane Mykolenko
Garner Gana
Ndiaye Alcaraz Grealish
Beto

I’d be popping Ndiaye back up front where he’s played a lot of his career before us, rather than bother with either of our so called strikers. We’ve tried and failed in combinations 9 games in so far. Time to try something different.

I know we’d lose Ndiayes qualities on the wing, but right now those qualities are completely lost on a real lack of quality up front in the middle.

Play Dibling right side and Ndiaye up front. Beto benched.

We'll win this. 2 nil.

Can't see anything other than a comfortable win for us here.

I think we can win this by just being solid and boring, let them tire themselves against us and pick them off.

Save the introduction of Alcaraz into the line up, shifting Grealish centrally or moving Ndiaye up front for a game where the onus is on us to be creative and win

Wonder if this could spark a relegation thread

Think the headloss could be an all timer.

These are better than us and it will be difficult for me to swallow tbh, but I will try and maintain some cool.

We’ll finish above these.

Love to see us grind a boring 1-0. .

But pissed to play 4 mnf in the first 12 ( Utd to come next)

Bloody joke isn’t it? I wonder how many MNF’s in a season, we should only have to play one maximum, I hate it especially with our record.

I wonder how many of the sky six get shitty Monday games compared to the likes of us. I'd imagine it's the likes of us who get these slots because they want City, Arsenal, Liverpool etc on the prime weekend spots.

most of the punters predictions are saying a win for us here - i wish i could agree with them
we are due a win and an away win tho they could be right and sunderland due a poor result
one nil to the toffees

FM26 had us winning 4-0, Dibling, Barry x 2 and Ndiaye apparently, so this will be a piece of piss…

Monday night football is pretty much always a shite game. No reason this game couldn't have been played last night
