Well, off on hols tomorrow, so no checking the forums due to lack of wifi, waiting for a couple of new signings. Hopefully will be a couple of nice surprises on return, and my first game of the season at home to Norwich.
 
I still want a team of:

Stekelenberg

Cedric
Fonte
Van Dijk
Bertrand

Wanyama
DM
Clasie

Mane
Pelle
Tadic

Clasie playing just infront of the two holding midfielders as a box to box player.

I'm not so sure about Cedric after yesterdays performance. Quite good in attack but really struggling in defense, just taking players out rather than get between them and goal. I though Martina was much more assured in defense, maybe start with him and bring Cedric on as an impact sub if we are loosing.

It's one game. You don't write off a player for one bad game. If it wasn't for Cedric we wouldn't have scored our first. The only thing he and Targett need is more protection from our holding midfielders. You only have to look at last season, when Bertrand and Clyne pushes forward Wanyama or Morgan filled in. That didn't happen yesterday.
 
Most full backs will struggle when confronted with pacey wingers with a lot of space to run into. Instead of looking at individual performances in defense, we should look how we defended as a team. If we continue to play what is effectively a 4-2-4 formation, our back line will always struggle and we should get used to it. This is the formation we played yesteday

Jay and Dušan didn't track back enough either.

Loads of rumours going around that Everton have bid for Evans. His odds going there are 4/5 atm.
