I think Mario being in the stands adds a bit of bite to this game. Not overly surprised by the line-up, though I hoped Markovic would start too. Hope he comes on and grabs the winner. Small matter of Johnson to contend with Liverpool minds for 50 mins before kick-off...
I feel that our midfield could be overrun with Allen the weak link, but then, not sure if young Can or Markovic is ready for such a game so early in the season. This game has come too early.
