I always prefer our side when we start either Sandro or Capoue in the middle, as our defence looks really easy to get at otherwise. Paulinho and Bentaleb will both put in the effort and cover the ground, but neither has the positional sense to get in front of our back four and break up play. We might get away with it this evening, hopefully, but I'd prefer not to see it becoming a regular thing, as it did under Sherwood.
Anyone got any links? Wiziwig only has two low-quality ones which haven't started yet and may well never start...
I've exhausted all my sources. If it isn't on this one, I think we might be out of luck http://www.wiz1.net/channel9
Sandro would be the first name on my team sheet but MP has yet to lose so the 110% battlers who give their heart and soul every match are currently surplus to requirements. Don't worry, it won't last long.
The Fail are saying we aren't taking the match seriously as Ade, Eriksen, Lennon, Kaboul, Capoue and Vorm haven't traveled to Cyprus. They do know we have like-for-like replacements in Soldado, Holtby, Lamela, Vertonghen, Sandro and Lloris, right?
Some implying that we're playing too strong a team, but if I was poch, a new manager at a bigger club, without European experience, I really wouldn't want to be embarrassed. I think he's done well to leave a few at home and still put out a decent team, while also reintegrating some of the wc boys
How the **** did we get that ludicrous Celtic friendly live, but not this? Bad miss by Soldado on the rebound from a Kane shot which was saved by the keeper, apparently. Start as you mean to go on, Roberto...
Paulinho puts one wide. Finishing needs to improve all round, clearly. Good that we're creating chances, though.
