OldNick Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 I would like to have TP in the middle with Adam and Archer each side. The 2 on the wings can go back and help with the defensive duties. Flynn, Fernandes, Aribo THB Bednarek and KWP and Suga ( I think hes injured) so as Taylor played for the Under 21's I assume we only have Jack or Manning as the other option.

Weston Super Saint Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 17 minutes ago, Jack said: …take off any remaining in form players around the 60-70 minute mark, regardless of situation. Replace with Championship level dross. Concede further goals. Complete capitulation by conceding late goal from undefended set play to edge of box. Praise performance. Ask for more of the same next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 What a way to treat Aribo who has given his all. I hope he proves me wrong but it seems to me RM has fallen for the charm by Pep about playing good football. Dibling and AL together not sure enough endeavour, strength, there for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 7 minutes ago, Ken Tone said: Surely should be taylor ahead of manning for defending today.. I can see the logic in going for a more attacking option if we're playing a back five and need the FBs to get forward. That said Manning is hopelessly out of his depth against anyone in this league, let alone Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Oh goody. yet another change in formation just to shoehorn Stephens back into the side. Not convinced a midfield pair of Downes and Lallana is going to put up much of a fight against City's attack. Seems far too lightweight for my liking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three players completely unproven in this league and one whose legs are well past it. There's potential in TD, FD and MF but it's far too early to say they're decent.

Personally think he should be playing at left back tomorrow! Goes to show we signed some real poor players in the summer. 19 hours ago, Holmes_and_Watson said: Stephens is available, and will be first on RM's list for that left back/3rd centre back position. 🙂 No surprise at all. If Taylor isn't going to put the work into his stubble grooming and being shouty at training, this is what happens. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTL Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 What a total div Russ is 😂 Stephens and Manning are barely L1 standard. And playing Lallana away at City, a game which we’d lose if they had 8 players, instead of the perfectly winnable home game. You know, the game where we had a 2-0 head start and needed to get control of the midfield so he brought on fucking Smallbone. Utterly out of his depth. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
