Yes mate I had this team and formation suggested in an earlier post on this thread. I had Ba over Embleton though, because realistically he hasn't done alot to be a starter imo
Yeah I thought Ba or Matete would have started ahead of Embleton. I used to play this formation with the team I coached and you need energy in the middle 2 to make it really work hence why i though Ba or Matete.
I'm a big Matete fan, with Ba and Mitchu signing alot of fans have forgotten what he offers to us. I'd defo have him over Embleton in today's lineup
Embleton played better for Hull than he does for us tbh. I want him to do well but him and Neil never put in a full shift imo.
Same here, he offers a lot to the team and I dont think he has let us down any time he's played this season. Ba will be some player though, watched him a lot for the French youth team (U18's & U19s) and he's a stand out for them alongside some quality players.
As soon as he came on against Sheff Utd he won a tackle and laid it on for Gooch to score. I'd love to see him involved more
I love stuff like that. Just very simple reminders that football clubs are full of ordinary people who affect that atmosphere. Also that players are people too. I'm sure McClean will get a bad reception today which isn't totally surprising. But Power and Wyke are decent lads who did their best for us and moved on. They clearly have plenty of relationships within the club and are well thought of. It's the instinct of a lot of fans to automatically boo ex players but those lads don't deserve it. Hopefully Wyke gets a good reception after his last year.
Surprised to see Embleton in there. I just dont think it is his position at all. He needs to play as a 10. I wouldnt be surprised to see Alese told to go in and make it a 3 in the middle with Cirkin back in a 4. I really cant imagine a midfield 2 being the answer today with no Evans.
