Target Schar Kelly Trips 

 

I'd be surprised if its anything else.

Will he be starting though?

 

Burn undroppable at present. Botman clearly our best defender all things being fair and equal (™️Ange).

 

Personally I think he’ll probably go Schar and Burn, but I don’t think it’s cut and dried.

 

I think Schar is still automatic RCB. But I think Botman has proven he can cover on that side when needed. 

 

But I think Botman will go back to being phased back in now and be a rotation option. If Burn wasn't playing so well then he'd be straight back in as starting LCB I'd have thought. 

 

Nice to have options again finally.

Schar in defensive mid, anyone?

Nope It's been tried a couple of times and it was an unmitigated disaster. The caveat being that it was under worse managers so probably dumped there without instruction.

No, no and no again. 

Never get this weird obsession of some on here about playing a half competent footballing defender in midfield. Never works, and certainly isn't needed against Bromley.

The Coloccini role.
