Scary thing i read elsewhere (cant be arsed to check it). We havnt won when Rodwell has started a game.
Time for a change then! It looks like Sam is sorting his head out, on evidence of the last 3 games. That said, he might start and revert to being absolutely ****ing gash again. A goal would sort him out, he's getting into positions but needs to bag one for his confidence.
To be fair to him he does look the most likely to score from midfield. By 'most likely' I obviously mean only.
--------------------Pickford------------------ Yedlin------Kone-------Kaboul----Pva ---------------Kirchoff--Mvila------------- ----------------------Rodwell----------------- Borini--------------Defoe----------Khazri
Mannone, Yedlin, Kone, Kaboul, van Aanholt, Rodwell, Kirchhoff, M'Vila, Borini, N'Doye, Khazri Substitutes: Pickford, Jones, Larsson, O’Shea, Defoe, Toivonen, Mandron.
Don't mind it myself, as long N'Doye's not on the wing I don't have a problem. To me, that lineup says that Sam is expecting to be pegged back and need a big presence up front to hold it up. Can't say I disagree given the opposition!
Looks like it's N'Doye down the Middle and Borini out wide. Get to see N'doye in his proper position. I agree with this for away games. Been crying out for someone to collect and retain further up the pitch. Long ball to Defoe just wasn't working and hasn't for a while.
