Spicy day for the Met in the capital today, with Arsenal at home to Everton and then Spurs away to Chelsea for the late KO. I thought that wasn’t allowed to happen?
Wimbledon play 352 according to Google. With 3 in the midfield, id expect a similar 3 to midweek. And likely matching up on formation. They play 2 up top so 3 at the back will be used.
We probably won’t match their work rate in midfield so a long afternoon ahead. I would have thought Casey was a must for this type of game and weather, but his lack of a passing game probably doesn’t appeal to the Pep disciples.
Bit of a hybrid. Technically a 3 at the back but with grimmer getting forward were he leaves Taylor and Anders as centre backs and Scowen a holding/screening player.
You got me - I blame the rain and cold, wet, fat fingers.
The stadium isn’t too bad - better than some.
The home end looks odd with the high brick wall behind the stand, but I’m reliably informed that’s done so they could build a second tier continuation of the main stand.
Very interesting. The other side of that brickwork is a residential development. The only permanent stand is the West stand, the others are semi permanent.
Current capacity is 9,000 (average attendance 8,600), but the planning permission is for 20,000 ultimately.
