Agree with the first 9 and wouldn't normally like 1 up top at home but Maybe 5 in midfield is the way to go?
Agreed against Leeds. It’s very hard to get the ball off them. We will need to shore up the midfield.
It’s got to be worth starting with either Aneke or Bonne. We’ve seen Hemed ...he’s miles off the pace. And Leko will give the ball away too easily against Leeds ...Bielsa must be lucking his lips at the thought of his players swarming all over him.
Might as well have 6 in midfield and not play anyone up front. Not the politically correct thing to do, but I don't think Bowyer cares about that kind of thing. We are awash with midfielders but have no forwards who can score. Seems like simple common sense to me.
An expensive and not very enjoyable trip yesterday. Highlights - Bonne came on and looked ok, Aneke was fairly imposing too. I'd start them both in the next game. - The last 5 mins, some top saves stopped us from getting a consolation and we looked like the team we'd been just two weeks ago. - Gallagher, he kept possession, held up the ball and tackled well. - Idiots fighting on a narrow bridge gave my something entertaining to watch, it bottlenecked the only exit over the canal causing further chaos. - A delayed train meant I got back into London at 7:30 rather than 9. Lows - There's a clear lack of belief since Taylor got injured, we need to sort it out. If Williams gets injured it'll be worse. - Leko has no end product, he is quick and I can't fault his effort but we have other options, why not try them? - Fullbacks gave possession away very cheaply, especially Purrington. - We were lucky not to be a couple down at halftime, I don't think we managed a genuine shot until the second half.
