Always a difficult one do you play Fonte or save him due to lack of options at CB ? Or play him half to get his match fitness back and touch / sharpness on the ball ready for Cardiff. Hope both Hoov & Fonte fit for that game as the next big test. We can't afford another defence mess up like Leicester game. Felt sorry for Hoov that night he was being pulled all over
In the Leicester game Jos clutched his hamstring in virtually the first minute, so he was probably suffering through the rest of the game. Even if pain isn't that bad it must be distracting and affect your game.
I'm sure it has occurred to others, but every time I look at the title of this thread I just sing to myself... Our Claus, in the middle of defence.
Sounds like Hooiveld is out of Tuesday, but Fonte should be fit so Martin-Fonte at the back Tuesday I would say, with jaidi on the bench
