    Against Norwich I would like to see Rosenior come in at left wing back to counter Snodgrass who is only a danger when he cuts inside.Playing against a natural right footer could lower his potential to get in dangerous crosses/shots. Figgy is a little slow and we can,t afford to give Snodgrass free kicks close to goal.
    Any thoughts?

    You are wrong. From January on it's 10 yellows.

    Seems as though Dudgeon is never going to come back, might be worth getting another LB in to push Figgy who has been very poor IMO. Failing that we could play Brady there as Fergie was planning on doing.

    I think Figueroa's been **** for ages now. Way too casual, often caught napping and his distribution tends to be a useless hit-and-hope type hoof.

    However, his best game was probably Norwich at home where Snodgrass was a second half substitute and couldn't beat Figueroa once, he just kept whining at the ref.

    Good thinking. Rossy would be a good choice to neutralize Snodgrass who is always a threat with his crosses and free kicks. Also Figgy's judgement has been poor for sometime and he looks tired as an ever present and his Honduran travel. Good time to rest him and Rossy deserves another start.

    Pretty sure in the Fulham game he was most peoples man of the match on here after huddlestone..... I do agree that he has looked slightly off the pace lately but a slightly off the pace Figueroa is still miles better than Liam Rosenior.

    If so, that's a massive typo from DH...

    I feel much more comfortable with Rosenior there as well to be honest. I would like to see Figueroa dropped because he's been making a few too many mistakes, a rest might do him the world of good.
