What do you mean haha? I'm fed up of us accommodating players, playing Barkley or Naismith on the wing. He's a winger and for me he's better than McGeady and Pienaar at the moment as both of them are low on form.

I've not seen anything to suggest our Bry is any more on form than Pienaar. And you just have a soft spot for Oviedo and any team you pick always includes him is all.

I wouldn't pick him if one of Pienaar or McGeady are on form because they are both more attacking, BUT they have both been awful this year so why not try someone else? He had Coleman there against City so Roberto obviously see it as a problem position too. Hopefully he'll buy a decent left winger in Jan or just clone Kev.

Honestly, I don't even have a soft spot for Oviedo that much, if Naismith Barkley Mirallas worked behind Rom I'd have that all day but I don't think you can start Barkley and Naismith, which leaves left wing...

Who would you play there on Monday?

What is it that makes people think Baines can become the new Philip Lahm? I personally see him being awful in that role. Let's not forget, defensively he isn't the best left back in the league! It's only his attacking that puts hm ahead of the others. He doesn't close down enough, isn't that impressive in the tackle and isn't that tall thus not the best header. Lahm has always been a fantastic defender, albeit not the tallest. Lahm is also a natural leader, whereas Baines is not. Less of the Baines for defensive midfield madness!

Mostly that Martinez has said he'd like to see it happen, and people are keen to find a way for Garbutt to play. I think it's the fact that if it worked, it would be dreamy.

Yeah but Martinez also thinks Robles and Kone are footballers, and has a uncontrollable urge to play players such as Osman and Hibbert. Wouldn't go thinking he knows it all just yet like.

Kone is a talented footballer who has had a horrendous time with injuries, he will push Lukaku for a starting place if he stays fit
Robles I will give you is not a great keeper

You never know unless you try. Don't see any reason why not to give it a go. Barry is suspended Monday, and if McCarthy isn't fit why not try Baines there then? Not ideal with Besic beside him mind,

Pienaar has hardly played this year. He's not really had chance to be awful as far as I'm aware.

So last night did nothing for you to suggest than Kone might be a decent player after all?

He got injured like.....and against Leicester he was one of our better players.

Yeah fair point. I don't think he was fit against United, thrown in the deep end.

I'd love Pienaar to be back to his best, is class, just struggling to see it this season and he didn't really help himself last night.
