After his performance on Saturday he wants dropping. Edit: I guess you could play Snoders on the left and but Elmo on the right, move Clucas into his midfield position and leave out Hudd.
Going 3 at the back against suicide isn't wise. Most of their play comes from the wide areas with Arnautovic and Shaqiri meaning there'll be a constant overlap when their fullbacks get forward.
I don't disagree with any of that. What makes you think Phelan got who he wanted or that he was responsible for our transfers?
What a joke that we have to debate what centre mids we can shoehorn in a fullback. Full back/wing back is a specialist role. You could argue it's the most mental, technical and physical demanding position of all. We're ****ed.
Ffs Snodgrass is not a wing back. Nevrr has been never will be. If phelan plays him there it would be madness.
