Watford game and Conte rumblings.

start both of them and play 11 instead of 10?

 

Ask StanDman, he might be able to suggest someone that can be dropped.

 

Bloody good idea, there is definitely a good player lurking inside Batters. Here's a suggestion on how we might line up for cup against Everton

Courtois
Rudiger Christensen Kenedy
Bakayoko Fabregas
Zappa Willian Musonda
Morata Batters

 

Luis was my concern against Watford and mainly because he lacked positional discipline. That was the the reason we shipped one goal at least. He just left one marker for another inside our box. He didn't hand the first guy over just ran towards the next nearest attacker to the ball. Cahill was behind him, but Cahill (ermmm the captain) saw the man in front of him being track backed and marked then left free a couple of seconds before the ball was crossed in to the now open attacker. Luis was trying to be a one man defence/midfield. He left left space open all over the pitch trying to close the ball down on his own. We all saw it, now who in the team is going to smack the back of his head? He was just awful, absolutely loopy.

Courtois is a sweeper keeper and again one who tends to do it without telling anyone else. I can not see leadership at the back. I can not see direction at the back, just guys suggestion to each other what might be a good idea and the others sometimes agreeing to it. Cahill isn't a leader. Luis could be and maybe that responsibility might shackle his excesses. We need someone back there just to organise and I would suggest the keeper regardless who it is, whether the keeper wants to or not.
