I agree with the Anita bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I really do want Anita back there, but I think we forget how many headers Debuchy wins in a match from his right back position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 i'd have Anita in there. Keep the rest the same. I wouldn't. No one really deserves to be dropped after wins against Chelsea and Spurs, but imo the same starting eleven is more suited to counter attacking than breaking teams down like we'll have to do against Norwich if we wanna make it easier to win. At half-time we could drop Anita at CM, take Tiote off... play HBA, Cisse whatever. I'd wait for it to stutter before changing. We make too many changes and concede 2 in the first half and we'll be back to square one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnonel Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Anita is not our answer to RB, he is our answer to CM. Anita at RB makes as much sense as Sissoko at RM. Lets start playing players in their natural/best positions, and if no deputy exists, we a) have a problem or b) should be grooming a replacement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 We have 3 promising young LBs, and 1 experienced at his peak RB. No depth for him, naturally...classic stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no natural depth but we have depth.... just like Man Utd really when Rafael is out they play CBs at RB. I'm pretty confident who ever replaces him will do a good job.

Tiresias Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Wonder if we'll see mapou moved to rb and Colo in at cb if he's back, wouldn't be keen on this, dispute a working partnership, just play Anita there imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Colo and Williamson are usually a steady partnership. I don't think it would be seen as pushing Mapou out of his position I think it will be seen as it simply is, Mapou is the next best option at right back after Debuchy.

I don't think its too bad a situation tbh. 4 fullbacks, yes 3 are young but 1 has played nearly 150 top level games. Whether or not you rate these players is another matter, but the club has 2 fullbacks and then two pushing them so long as they're fit. Unless you're Man City you don't have 4 of close quality and experience, even Chelsea throw in Bertrand when Cole is out and he's a very ordinary footballer.

ponsaelius Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'd rather have one of the others given a chance in the team than play a pointless jack of all trades like Perch. Perch was rubbish at fullback anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'd have been satisfied with Perch filling in, I know that. Such a pointless sale. Has he been first choice for Wigan? Can only assume the player wanted to leave cos he was a very useful squad member, especially with Raylor () out for the season again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perch was rubbish at fullback anyway. Once his initial rubbish-ness subsided, he never really let us down imo. Useful at FB and CB; put a shift in at CM as well. I can remember him winning every single header against Lacina Traore - who was a giraffe's neck taller - away to Metalist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 DM > CB > Fullback in terms of his best positions. And in DM his lack of ability exacerbated our poor season despite individually him not doing much particularly wrong. Not arsed he's gone in the slightest personally.
