Dummett away from home when we're going to be set up to do what we did at City. Kenedy in games like the ones we had against Brighton and Swansea where we need more going forward from full-back.

 

Came in here thinking exactly this. Otherwise he'll be rotated with Atsu, Murphy and Ritchie further up the pitch.

I wonder if Rafa's starting to think about 3 at the back after his failed flirtation with playing 2 up front. Yedlin and Kenedy certainly seem to fit the bill as wing backs.

 

Makes sense with our central midfield pool being thin too. Pushing the likes of Ritchie, Atsu and Murphy more into the middle to play with Hayden, Diame, Merino whoever is left.

Which would be fine as none of them have pulled up any trees this season.

I also wonder if he is thinking about a 3 at the back / 5 at the back system, utilising Kenedy and Yedlin as wing backs. Again it's an extra formational option that isn't really a possibility with Dummett or Manquillo.

That's what I would like to see.

Mbemba, Lascelles, Dummett as centerbacks and Yedlin and Kenedy as wingbacks.

Am I right in thinking Rafa prefers left-footers on the left and right etc.?

 

Just wondering if he might replace Ritchie sometimes, cos Ritchie has been pretty much ineffectual of late other than work rate.

He just seems to prefer left footers full stop.

 

Atsu, Ritchie, Kenedy and Aarons are all left footed.

 

Murphy doesn't seem to have an out and out favourite foot.

Modern footballers, never sure to look at them or read them.

Definitely looks like someone who's unlocked all of the tattoos on GTA, like.

 

Big fan of that punchline are we, Haydn?  :lol:

Saw it on Twitter during the Chelsea v Norwich game and it's been stuck in my head ever since then :lol: can't not think of it when I see him on photos and the like.
