I don't think we'll beat them 9-0.
Of course we have a strong bench as with the depth of squad we have, would be nice to see a change of attitude of going and win these games early instead of trying to win them from the bench, we have the quality to do so, and yet we don't see itBarring injuries John,we could bring on, Griff,elyounoussi.Christie,Turnbull,Soro?
So we play him for 4-5 games whatever then say " big man, we need you to know the lingo before you kick a baw again" comprehendeBy getting his communications skills up to speed, and possibly needs to rebuild his confidence after the week he has had. I am not dismissing at all but surely the language barrier has to be a problem as I am yet to see him move his lips
Yes or get duffy to learn his lingoSo we play him for 4-5 games whatever then say " big man, we need you to know the lingo before you kick a baw again" comprehende
John i get your point about him not commanding his box and admit that needs to develope between him and defenders but the only way to achieve that is more games together. Heard the backroom staff are encouraging him to bulk up also. Give the guy a chance is what I'm saying.So we play him for 4-5 games whatever then say " big man, we need you to know the lingo before you kick a baw again" comprehende
I do believe he will come good and don't have him at fault for goals against him. He looks like a man who is lacking in a bit of confidence at the moment and the defence has hardly helped him out at the moment. I have been saying for such a long time now that the triangle of keeper and 2 CB's is the most important on the pitch. We haven't as of yet played that way which is also maybe unfair on a keeper that is not Comfortable with a 3 either. I want him to succeed and think he will in timeJohn i get your point about him not commanding his box and admit that needs to develope between him and defenders but the only way to achieve that is more games together.

Controversial TET!Griffiths
Rogic
Laxalt Cal Christie Frimpong
Taylor Ajer Duffy Brown
Bain
Theres a controversial 4411
Brown at right back since he no dictating play so well but still has presence and bite
And back 4 to stay vigilant as back four letting other 6 push forward with cal playing deep playmaker right in centre of park. no out wide
christie playing dynamic box to box
and frimpong concentrating on forward only with big bad brown supporting him and directing him behind
Can see the sence in it tet but you and I know there is not much of a chance of that happening. I must admit I am struggling to find a place for brown in any formation that would still make us look strong. Never entered my head as a right back mindGriffiths

Don’t think he could really play as the modern right back is expected to nowadaysim sure he was always a right mid so standard right back might suit him now he older and we need a strong back line
I can't see El ham being available either and only a couple of weeks ago we were all giving out about our left side of the park, now we are short on the right. Agreed that duffers can only play in a 4 as he needs someone to bail him out for his lack of paceid like to see duffy in a back four and id like see Taylor playing left back without the constant winger starting position
I assume el hamed injured though
Im think more flatter back 4 rather than overlappingDon’t think he could really play as the modern right back is expected to nowadays
Only problem tet is would brown and Taylor get nose bleeds if they had to make a forward pass?Im think more flatter back 4 rather than overlapping
think we need that more than extra attacking wingbacks to steady the balance in team and create space for our clever players to exploit rather than hordes on their defensive line and running wrong way
let christie frimpong and Laxalt run at defenders
with Rogic picking holes and Griffiths lurking about box for the runners beating man and hitting low drives to his left peg
