TFF chit chat 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th April

Post by morganb »

FRIDAY 5TH APRIL

Southampton 20:00 Liverpool

The game week continues with a Friday Night Fixture featuring Southampton versus Liverpool. Liverpool lie one point and one place behind City at the top of the table with Bobby Firmino having discovered some form in recent matches. Southampton have been doing enough to keep their head above water since the new manager arrived.

SATURDAY 6TH APRIL

Bournemouth 15:00 Burnley

No early Saturday game this week so straight into the 3 o'clocks, the first of which sees Burnley off to the South Coast to take on Bournemouth. Burnley are still dicing with relegation but fortunately there are three others teams worse than them, and they have McNeil. Bournemouth are comfortable in mid-table so I guess we could say that they are on the beach already...

Huddersfield 15:00 Leicester

Next up, Leicester are the visitors to newly relegated Uddersfield. The change of manager has worked wonders for the Foxes and Tielemans has been quietly going about his business. Uddersfield are down, they just weren't able to match their first season in the Prem or score enough goals.

Newcastle 15:00 Crystal Palace

For all you property programme fans out there it's ‘Castle v Palace next. Newcastle are a point behind Palace and will be hoping for a decent showing today. In midweek, Palace made history by becoming the first team to lose at Spurs new ground. Zaha has been quiet recently.

Man City 17:30 Brighton - FA Cup SEMI-FINAL

Saturday's late game comes to you from Spurs old ground. At Wembley there's an FA Cup semi-final featuring Manchester City against Brighton. It's hokey cokey time! City are likely to be without Aguero for this game but they didn't miss him much against Cardiff. Brighton should give it a good go today as they are probably safe enough in the league.

SUNDAY 7TH APRIL

Everton 14:05 Arsenal

The first of Sunday's two games has Arsenal travelling to Goodison to play Everton. The Gunners have been going about their business in a quiet yet orderly fashion. Everton have been eeking out a few good results too recently so this might be a surprisingly good game.

Watford 16:00 Wolves FA Cup SEMI-FINAL

Well, well, well. We're on our way to Wembley for Watford v Wolves. Again these are a couple of fairly evenly matched sides with Wolves having just recorded a morale boosting win over Manchester United. Watford are just behind Wolves in the League but have scored a few more goals. Pens anyone?

MONDAY 8TH APRIL

Chelsea 20:00 West Ham

Me ol' China - it is a London derby for the MNF. Chelsea welcome West Ham to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea won in midweek and are still challenging for the top 4. Giroud played and scored against Brighton - will Sarri keep the faith? West Ham’S recent results - WLWLWL. Win today?

Worth noting that the poor timing of the sunday games (1:55 apart) means only 1 flange and no semi team news.

"Almost everybody is fit. I try every game to think about the next one but always focus on trying to win. Everybody has to help us not just Benjamin Mendy. He alone cant help us with that challenge."

But what about Sergio Aguero, who limped off against Fulham?

"Aguero is travelling," adds Guardiola.
You put your Aguero in
you take your Aguero out
in, out, in, out
and shake it all about
You do the Aguero hokey cokey
and you turn around
that's what transfers are all about!

Really? I didn't read that as he's playing/fit at all. More cryptic to keep us all on our toes I think but who knows?!

Bench maybe?

Suspect the best you can hope for is that he makes the bench.

Travelling doesn’t necessarily mean he’s in the squad.

Unlikely that an "injured" superstar travels without at least making the bench IMO.

Yeah, I’d expect him on the bench. I largely kept him so would be great if he could make up for missing Cardiff goalfest.

1-1 with 15 minutes to go.

It's funny how the media works isn't it .... if Liverpool fail to score then the race is over - if they do find a winner then 'it's destiny' and 'their name is on the title' .... when neither is necessarily true.

They just toy with the opposition and viewers, giving them leads, giving them equalisers. All just for fun....

It did look dodgy now again. All good for Liverpool in the end but necessarily for my TFF defences.

In case anybody missed this weekend's TFF Preview e-mail, Marcus Rashford has a 75% chance of playing.

Only option here is to drop one of Robertson or TAA and go to three at the back.

Not sure. Is he cup-tied?
