Cooper injured? Ayling and Berardi at CB? I have a bad feeling, we need White in the back line even more so now
Is that Today Today, or Today Tomorrow, or Today yesterday..................Today happens every day you know.
We have a stand in DM meaning we lose our best CB and best DM. We have attacking midfielders at LB and RB and a RB playing at CB and Berardi who either plays a blinder or is a red card waiting to happen, we won’t keep a clean sheet so we need to score a few
Well, we haven't lost our best DM / CM, White will do a great job, Berardi is a mean machine, but Ayling is the worry when he gets too far forward and can't get back in time.
If we don't score at least 3 with a clean sheet, then we want our heads cutting off. 3-0 or more, but suspect udders will grab one, from Aylings side.
Actually shows poor planning to go through the season with only two recognised centre backs and I’ll say it again, our much vaunted U23s that are supposed to supplement the first team are clearly not ready to step up. I hope the decision to have a small squad doesn’t come to bite us now.
I just don’t get moving the divisions best CB into a DM role. It’s smells of Bielsa trying to remain loyal to Dallas and Ayling. Like you say, what is the point of the U23s trying if none get the chance through injury
Bielsa pre match... Cooper felt his calf and Bielsa didn’t want to risk him, it doesn’t sound long term. Asked on White Bielsa said they think he is best suited to replace Phillips after seeing him in training, admitted White has never played that role before
You're going to have to make your mind up Ristac, you either take notice of stats, or you don't, you can't use'em when it suits you...... So what those stats are saying is, we did better when Phillips played, so, correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't a team made up of 11 players plus subs. I'm trying to workout how Phillips manages to do it all on his lonesome when he goes awol a few times, and is the reason, or part of the reason we've conceded quite a few goals this season...............That 30 mill ball through his 30 mill legs which led to a 30 mill goal was a corker.......
Going to say it now in the hope of having to eat humble pie but ridiculous to have not one defender playing in their proper position. Best defence in the league so far as well. Not confident about this at all.
