Just curious, would you argue he's a wing-back rather? I wouldn't. Either way, the biggest gripe I usually have with 3-5-2 is the lack of natural wingers. Some teams like Juve can make use of the system in creating attacking football but let's face it, most teams that use the 3-5-2 system are interested in taking advantage of three centre backs and therefore being extra solid at the back.

I legit don't like 3-5-2 in general. Of course certain teams can pull it off and play some very nice football through it but usually we're talking about five natural defenders on the pitch, in this instance arguably six and in most cases no natural wingers - the players I enjoy watching the most. Don't blame anyone for liking it tho if it works for their teams of course but as a neutral I hate it.

Fabregas for me. Silva close second.

In many aspects a perfect back up player. Reliable, homegrown, considerable experience, can even fill in okay at centre back if asked to. That said it should be a priority to replace him in the first XI.

Can't believe I went to that first ever away game and first NUFC match in almost 15 years. First shot on goal in thr 90th minute bud glad to see Rondon off the mark. He really is miles better than Joselu. Sterry looked useful as well, should provide Yedlin some competition. That's it for the positives. Just want to get this City game over with, regroup during the international break and hopefully get anything resembling a team going. What a fucking shambles.

Whew Lucas Moura is seriously good.

Man Utd's lack of success since Sir Alex just goes to show how fucking good he was at utilizing shit/mediocre players in the ilk of Jones and Herrera.

Shame it’s away to Man City. Not looking forward to it mind.

Our two best players out. Didn't get drubbed. Not going to dwell on it more than that. On to the next.

Mitro is going to score more than all our strikers combined this season isn't he?

I thought it was kind of strange like

Ah makes sense. Thought he was implying women commentators in general.

Is that really so bad...?

Trying to buy tickets to this in the away stand for me and the girlfriend. Do I really need to call the box office and link us together in a 'Travel group' so we can sit together? They aren't picking up the phone at the box office

He actually did spend it quite well.

Is the City Ground a good day out? And just Nottingham in general? Never been but I'm kind of tempted to go, handing in my masters thesis the day before and feel like fucking off immediately afterwards and see this

He'll bounce back.

Fucking idiot.

Love the fact that some people seem to confuse Shaqiri with Daiquiri

Liverpool are frightening.

Every single time the club seems to be on the right track under Ashley it's like he consciously tries to fuck it up. Under Keegan when there was finally a bit of a buzz happening with good attacking football he decides to fuck it up with ample help from Wise and Jimenez. Under Hughton when we had a likeable and capable manager slowly but surely building a decent squad around Carroll he fucking gets rid of them both. And now when we're in absolute pole position to make something of this club - great young captain, decent squad, money in the bank and a world class manager he fucking deliberately ensures to fuck everyone off: the fans, Rafa and the squad. This can't go on. Don't care if it takes abuse like West Ham dished out earlier in spring or anthrax in the mail. Get the fuck out.

Ehh. Rafa has more than just 'turned his nose up' at Mitrovic mainly due to him having attitude problems. I think you might recall Balo having a bit of those.

I'd take Mario Balotelli on a free as it stands. Going to be interesting to see where he winds up but Rafa of course wouldn't touch him with a ten-feet pole.

Who has Yarney played for to give him senior appearances? Oh damn misread. Thought he had 4 cup appearances for Everton. So that's not a single senior game at the age of 21 Average starting age of a Premier League English debutant is now 23, so not really that bad comparatively. Not necessarily talking about PL. Just any senior appearance be it in the FA or League Cup, Championship, League One etc.
