Not for me either Ell. Don't tamper with our winning formation and certainly not against the top of the table side
Evening London, O'Kane is unlikely to play. That being the case the team changes. Like for like would be Viera in for O'Kane. BUT with Viera and Phillips, it makes it a very inexperience pairing. Berardi has been one of our best players in the last season or 2. True? Ayling has been one of our most consistent players this season. Ayling can play centre back. More likely to keep a clean sheet with a back 5? Berardi and Taylor like to get forward
Got to disagree with you there,took his chance last season and was one of our best players,then got a long ban for biting.Took his chance again this season and again looks like he could be one of our best players.
Evening Ell. All about opinions as they say . Agree the team will have to change with O'Kane missing, also agree it would be an inexperienced midfield pairing but I still think it would be better than switching to o formation we haven't played all season. Ayling has been one of our most consistent performers but at rb not CB, I wouldn't chuck him in there for the first time in god knows how long against a team scoring lots of goals when our centre backs have looked immense. Won four on the spin with 4-2-3-1, players are familiar with it so for me stick with a winning formula.
