And we're back!

"I think [...] we are going to play very well. With all the respect I have for unpredictability in football, and all the respect I have for our opponents, I think we will play well and get a good result. The players are enthusiastic and confident. They know they are playing more than okay, individually and collectively, and the results have to come. We are positive. I don’t think we are going to start the game under any kind of pressure, we just want to play."

So say we all.

Welcome back, Branislav Ivanovic.  Kenedy is apparently our nominal left back today.  Or perhaps we're going three at the back?  Either way, it's certainly interesting.  Do us proud, kid!

This makes 19 different starting lineups in the 20 competitive matches we've played this season.
