How's that going to cheer them up?

 

Let's get these beat, and then they'll go away and complain somewhere else instead.

Aye, wasn't good enough etc. I remember how depressed and hateful I was under Ashley, the self entitlement since is staggering

Hall is such a good player, they have to find a way to get him into the team even if defensively he’s not there yet. I think Kelly is a really good player so I don’t mind him playing LB but I feel like we haven’t figured out how to get the best out of Hall which is ridiculous when he’s basically our second best passer

I was. He was a liability defensively last week. Better team will punish us

 

Aye he was poor last week, I said immediately after the game that Howe would start Kelly going forward. Some of his decision making with his passing was very poor considering the circumstances. 

 

His time will come but he has a lot to learn at fullback.

Kelly makes sense in an away game against a team we've been struggling against that has a front 4 of strong and fast players. Hopefully he doesn't get an automatic place in the team now when we get to the games where Halls attacking qualities, passing, technique etc are more important.

I think with Krafth and Burn at CB there's a fair logic for having Kelly, who's something of a LB/CB hybrid, at LB to give us more defensive solidarity.

 

I do also think there's a good chance that this is the long term plan, Kelly being first choice LB.

 

It's worth noting that if we do want to play with Hall and Livramento as attacking full backs then it will require some adjustment to the way our midfield plays.

 

The three at the back when in possession setup allows Bruno more freedom to get forward than he'd have otherwise, for instance.

I think it would be better for him to be given a spell of games, if he's just going to play the odd game here and there and get some minutes at the end, it's not easy to get into any sort of rhythm. But, for the team as a whole, maybe it's just a risk short term.
