Surprised to see santos start, thought it would be gibbs, except from that the team is what I expected to see.

We're not really that physical anymore...

But where is Park??

To be fair, Santos looks more of a unit than Gibbs. I think he can look after himself.

Why would you play Gibbs against a physical team? Lets field Van Basten, Van Persie, Robben, Ramsey, Diaby, Ledley King and Hargreaves while we're at it.

What I meant is that a trip to Ewood Park is not the ideal place to make your debut when you have been playing in foreign leagues your entire career. Look how Kossy got on there last season.

I see what you mean, but that team could well beat blackburn 10-0

Get your silly predictions out of the way, there is no way that Blackburn team is going to score less than 3 against your weak defence.

Park should go to Ewood Park...

Considering Gibbs injury record, Santos might as well start instead of (risk) replacing him early

It took me forever to think of a right back with a history of injuries.
