Very surprised to see Brown and Ki. At least this means they're confident in Wes's fitness these days
Disappointed in that line up. Would have liked to have seen, cabral, watmore, klarsson and mavrias given a run out. Thought Alonso was playing too? West ham are being tonked by forest lol!
The one player definitely would not have played was Brown! Should definitely have been protected for this one. Our most important player.
Alonso cant play, his work permit hasnt come through in time. I would have thought Celustka would be playing CB, but according to the radio, its Brown and Ki at centre half, Celustka right back, Gardner in midfield. Thought Mavrias, Cabral and Karlsson would have had a look out. Happy about Whatmore though.
When they have come out, radio have reported it setting up like this -----------Mannone ---Celuska-----Ki-----Brown Johnson-----------------Dossena ---Larrson--Gardner--Colback -------------------Ji -----------Altidore
Ki will play as a deep midfielder, so only two defenders really. Bold! You know Barca play like this......
On the sheet yes but he'll just pick up ball from there and go forward, leaving Cel and Wes as back 2, I think? It's how he was playing before Catts came back into team really.
As am I! Can't believe we dont have any cb's on the bench ha! Ki surely won't play the full 90. We need him for Tuesday
He's playing centre half (not as a deep midfielder) and apparently it was his fault for their goal according to Gary Bennett, though not 100% sure of that. Edit: Benno has corrected himself, was Ji at fault for their goal.
