There's not two defensive midfielders though 3 last week, 2 this week. Count. Who are the two defensive midfielders? Unless Anita isn't playing on the wing as per the team sheet then there's only Hayden. And Anita. He's a DM, not a winger. He's about as much a winger as Colback's a striker. I agree that Anita shouldn't be playing and get your point that he'll offer nothing, but we're not setup playing a formation with 2 defensive midfielders. This was my point given that people are saying the formation is setup negative. It's not, we just have a s*** player on the wing that we don't want there (because Ritchie had a knock). We have a player on the wing that can't do anything going forward, that's the point Guess Janmaat is supposed to have the freedom to attack with Anita covering up. Why not just play Anita right back then? Anita as a right winger is pretty bad in terms of team selection. And play Janmaat at RW you mean? Could work I guess.

Shouldn't be on the bench if he can't play though, at least 45 minutes.

We're a goal down against Huddersfield, there's no reason we can't win this still. Just hoy Ritchie and Perez on.

Oh ffs

Get Ritchie on

Who's playing as a striker in the 4-4-2? Diame I'd guess.

Wouldn't call Shelvey "sitting" like, as he doesn't give a f*** about defending. I wouldn't either, and didn't. Isn't Anita playing on the wing? That just makes it worse. He's a f***ing sitting midfielder. Obviously he's not a winger. Not sure he's meant to play as a sitting mid today though. Can't say as I can't watch the fucking game.

So the Rafalution will not be televised then.

No Looks like we'll need the starting 11 to do the biz then, doesn't seem to be any game changers on the bench. Ayoze possibly. Ritchie

No

Odds on Leicester to be relegated?

YES

Please no Colback, please no Colback

Yep.

:lol: That article. He said the exact same thing ahead of one or two of our seasons, IIRC.

Insane if he's dropped instead of Colback.

f***, I read the Colback without a bib part on the last page and just assumed he was out. Need to read posts more carefully.

I'd be very pleased with that. Let's batter them.

Aye, he does look unfit and it's a problem. Also he's absolutely gash at winning the ball back. His "Hollywood" passes are quality most of the time. When it comes to passing he's superior in our squad.

Think Rafa may replace Perez with Diame but I'd rather see the latter alongside Hayden. Anyway, I'm sure we'll win this.

Well aye, 2-2 against Tours, guess they expected a win.

Yep, agree with this.
