Townsend replaces Eriksen. Not the player I'd have removed. Should have slightly better balance now, though. Capoue on next, please.
At least Sherwood agrees with me on that. I just hope Eriksen can do a Ronaldo and seriously bulk up a bit over the next year as at the moment he looks far too lightweight.
Is Bentaleb Sherwoods love child? I cannot understand why he starts or why he is still on. Just another Livermore.
I agree, but it's because of the system. That's what needs to change, not just personnel. Doesn't fix the real issue and removes a threat at set-pieces.
agreed. I'd rather have seen us remove bentaleb and put eriksen behind Ade, with Paulinho and Dembele playing behind him. Townsend on the left obviously. so I'm guessing with no creativity centrally, we're hoping the wingers will cross something in to the box for Ade? I think Everton will suss that, to be honest.
what's the point in him playing on the left? he's not got the pace of some of our wingers and he doesn't defend enough. He's a number 10 FFS, but as usual, we play people out of position.
That's true PNP. An hour of the game gone and yet nothing has changed. It says it all when you have created nothing at all and our £28 million striker stays on the bench!
I've been thinking he has been one of our better players. Iknow he has needed to come back into EDIT ADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
