I like Field too.
He lost his place because Varane ( on his day..which comes and goes) is better defensively and Madsen on his day is better attacking.


I wonder if he has now found his place in this team...especially if we hearing Norrington-Davies might be recalled in Jan
 
Doesn’t hurt to have another player good in the air in the team especially against dross like last night whose Plan A, B and C was to kick it in the air and eventually win a second ball to put a cross in.
 
Not often you think a late-ish sub is MOTM but Smyth is definitely it.

At the other extreme can someone please explain what's happened to Kone? His sub performance was ludicrously slow and littered with errors.
Could not agree more
He looks too slow and in the wrong league but we know he can do better

I think he is carrying an injury. He came on last night and smashed defenders around but never looked like making a chance. A bit like Frey. Which begs the question. Why not Frey?

Whether players are selected is down to the manager and as we have seen many times a player who has been first choice for several different managers suddenly finds himself a bit part player with the latest manager. Or, as with Frey, not even that.

Not exactly sure what Field did wrong and no evidence of any poor decision making by him in the 3 games he has started but I doubt he will ever be restored to being a regular starter.
