This lad can also play RB yeah?

Not permanently, just while we have no actual fit RB.

 

[DaChunk]

Looks exciting. 30mil considering his age and the england tax could be some great business.

 

[pancakes]

Difficult debut. Was up against probably the best in the league in that position while he was in an unfamiliar one himself and did OK. Bodes well for us I think.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Tempted to keep him at RB for the Southampton game to go up against Redmond. Gives Seamus another week for recovery.

I'd keep him in to, he is the future and not Kenny. Of course not permanently at RB but may as well play him seeing he is here fit and ready. Adds a little more height and pace to our defence.

To be honest I’m quite happy to have an extra defender in the next couple of away games . And let digne keep going down the left and let James have freedom

the bigger issue is the midfield 3, which didn’t quite work on Saturday , and I think have Doucoure on the right to cover for James, we are losing his ability to drive forward And get into dangerous positions, which is one of the strongest parts of his game.

It won’t happen but I would like to see Delph play the holding role, and move Allan to the right and Doucoure Left . Allan & Delph can be more defensive. While Doucoure can attack down the left channel with Digne and probably iwobi.

The way James plays balls from the right. to have another powerful player making runs into the box could be huge for us.

I think the same midfield 3 would be better next week. Gomes and Allan were returning from injuries.

I've thought about it and decided I'd like to keep the same midfield 3, considering we are making a change on the left already and probably at right back.

Gomes was shocking v Liverpool and offers nothing defensively and this puts Huge pressure on Allan and effects Doucoure all round game imo

I dont see a long term future for Gomes

Well thankfully Ancelotti does

Agreed, that's why he keeps picking Gomes, in the hope they can learn from him.

What puts pressure on Gomes all round game is Gomes not being very good.

I think he will do better next week against lesser opposition than Liverpool and after a further week of training.

Carlo has lots of options to rotate in if he likes.

Sigurdsson is the obvious one.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Once Kenny and/or Seamus get back healthy I think he is going to get a shot at replacing Mina. Pace next to Keane is useful and Yerry is up and down. I had my doubts but his first outing in blue was pretty good so I'm intrigued.
