    So the team basically picks itself doesn't it?

    Krafth on for manq
    Clark in for schar
    Fernandez in to cb I place of hayden
    Hayden moved in to midfield to replace hendrick
    Gayle on for wilson

    Fernandez is probably not fit.

    Agree - and that’s on a good day but I couldnt think of anyone else. Both Muto and Carroll are an even bigger waste of a shirt. Quite like DPPs idea of a Longstaff and Almiron with no outright CF.

    It'll be 4-3-1-2 again, which is fine. Two false 9's is clearly genius. Line up as follows:

    True GK: Doesn't matter.
    Back four: Krafth, Someone, Clark, a left back
    False 4: Hayden
    False 8; Willock
    False 7; Longstaff (either)
    False 10; Almiron
    False 9(i); Max
    False 9 (ii); Fraser or Gayle

    Awesome sauce.

    He's useless in the ball, but he can defend and he's fast, but we're going to be back to hoofball on Monday.

    He’s the best left back we’ve got, as if a good centre half fill in.
    He was immense last week when he came on.

    Lewis is our best left back

    Dummett is decent cover at centre half, better than Lascelles

    He's a decent cb without the ball he's no good at all at left back imo.

    He’s been better the last couple of games, but he’s not big or strong enough to be a full back.

    You confusing full back with centre back?

    You don't need to be big and strong to be a full back

    I'd take Dummett at 50 years old than Lacelles.

    Dummett would be an absolutely cracking player for us if he wasn't always injured.

    Real potential completely **** on by his own body.

    He's **** on the ball though so not ideal to replace schar, but yes he's better than lacelles who's as far as I can tell not any good at anything really.. Dummetts a better defender and faster... I think he tries harder too... Lacelles is better in the air though.. I think although I'm not even sure about that

    Schar's attacking abilities are a lovely bonus but for a team where we're at, we need our defenders to be solid first and foremost. Least that's my opinion, sure some others think different.

    Dummett does the job, he keeps his head on, 100% effort, doesn't just do stupid ****.

    I don't think this injury "crisis" is that bad at CB because one of the the one's we're including in that is Jamal, who is absolutely ****ing useless and therefore better off injured.

    Schar and Clark are my preferred CB pair for the record.
