You're happy to lose our best player because we have plenty of mediocre run-up-and-down-a lot-and-do-****-all ****e to replace him with?
You'd have a point if i picked Grosicki in central midfield. And yeah fair enough, Meyler and Clucas aren't known for their tackling.
If he's our best player then things are worse than I thought. Interesting that I'm being criticised for picking 'run up and down a lot' midfielders and also criticised for picking midfielders who can't tackle.
No, 3 across the midfield with another in as absenced role in front of them. I don't have any wingers.
So you have Grosicki central midfield... Who's only offering is a short sprint to the byline and kicking the ball to the enemy or out for a goal kick.
We're not going to be anywhere near the top of the league with a centre back pairing of Dawson and Huddlestone, particularly as Dawson won't even be available for half the games. We're also not going to have all those players, we'll lose at least two. All a bit academic, as the current squad isn't going to be the one we end up with, it would just be nice if we started resolving that issue sooner, rather than later.
I've already said - on the left of a midfield 3. You seem to think of formations being like table football, where each player has a rigid position that he sticks in. What would you have made of Ajax in the 70s?
So he's playing left side central midfield? What do you think he offers to that position? Have you done your coaching badges?
No, he's playing left of a midfield 3. I've never done a day of coaching in my life. I look forward to you asking the same question every single time someone posts a suggested line-up ahead of every single game this season.
