A couple of lessons learnt today…

Hackney became our best and most valuable player while playing in the defensive midfield 2, alongside Howson. So do that! Since he’s come back from injury it seems like the lad has hardly played there!
Granted he hasn’t played there but that doesn’t mean he can’t pass to a red shirt.He’s been directly culpable for at least four goals recently.
 
If the squad was fully fit I’d say our best side would be:

Dieng

Smith, RvdB, Fry, Bangura

O’B, Hackney

Forss, Azaz, Mcgree

ELL

Subs
Glover
Josh
Howson
Greenwood
Lenihan
Barlaser
Silvera
Paddy
Engel
 
Every game you play HH not in the 2 , we're knocking a few million off his price tag.

And so is he .. he should of been flying round like greenwood does ( even if it is often pointless )

He has played like he's 37 since he was moved outta the 2.

We'd be guessing.. and so probably is Carrick right now .

Your 11 looks fine , but half that team have played less than 6 games together..
Some less than I have thumbs .

He can’t fly around, he doesn’t have the stamina, he loses the ball and watches,doesn’t make any effort to get back, it may be owing to his recent injuries but he just doesn’t track back.
 
First half everyone was shocking bar glover. 2nd half not much better. O'brien azaz barlaser stand outs as slightly worse than the rest.

No Jones even in the squad!!!

He starts in place of Forss every time for me, he offers something we don’t have anywhere else and is our only player which frightens most teams
 
I don't get the Forss wide right love in, especially in our strikerless team. He looked good at times playing there last season because we had loads of other great players in the team making runs and playing through balls and he wasn't relied on to create anything. This season we don't have any of those things but we're crying out for a clinical finisher and we've got one out wide trying to create chances for players that aren't.

Guess the debate is ...
Do we put someone like Silvera to help out ayling defensively?
Defensive responsibility is a thing from the front 4, ... Today their was 1.5 trying for the first 40

We saw what Greenwood one side , Silvera the other looked like at the beginning of the season..

Looked like the Alamo on transitions given there's absolutely no pace in the back six .
( Which leads to everyone saying ' the defense is sh*t , )
 
I think he’s been very decent previously for other clubs and he’ll get better for us. Being fair to him he’s played LB for us and got injured for 4-5month and has just come back in.
Maybe so but i dont see how howson isn't picked ahead at present

Sorry, completely forgot about Jones. 🤦‍♂️

Yes he starts on the right and Forss or ELL up top. Engel drops out.
