Just read Fox reported to Scotland training camp with a groin injury ....anything to do with his performance yesterday?
Well yeah Walcott aswell. I heard they were experimenting with Podolski on both wings so Im sure they would put him on our weaker side
He got clattered in the second half and took a while to get up, I remember. Could have something to do with that. I'd put Clyne/Richardson on the left, wouldn't wana throw Shaw in against Arsenal tbh.
Would rather Clyne switch to the left and Richardson on the right. Richardson is better at crossing and needs to be on the right for that. Clyne is good at making piercing offensive runs and looking to pass more than to cross.
They said Fox had a groin strain, he'll probably be fine for arsenal, its about 12 days to recover is'nt it?
If we didn't think Shaw was up to it, we'd probably have paid the few extra quid for Buttner. Shaw is very much in the first team plans this season. If Fox is crocked, play Shaw. He has the talent and he'll only learn to use it by getting game time like JWP has.
Its a bit less fatal playing a youngster in a 3 man midfield though, means schneiderlin and Davis can cover for him if he doesn't cope. If Shaw isn't quite up to it we bleed goals
