Ramiro Funes Mori

If this means we're playing 4 at the back it's a bit of a nightmare.

 

[Nymzee]

did it look a bad one?

I wouldn't have played him anyway tbh but it's obviously another player down which isn't great is it.

He's not a starter really but now we're pretty short in that position.

 

[Latchford 30goal legend]

Has anyone checked if Bramley Moore has a jinx or a curse on it . FFS who's next nothing but bad news on players at this rate big rom will pull out due to an oversized ego injury

 

[GwladysBlue]

Barry, Jagielka and Williams playing two games in four days...

*shudders.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

If he played Saturday they would target him.

Also ahead of the window it will be a possibility to see if any of our young defenders have it in them to step up.

Losing Coleman was a fatal blow to any last ditch hopes of top 4 this season. We should still have enough for Europa spot so let's see who steps up ahead of a potential defensive overhaul in the Summer.

 

[Abraders]

Gutted. Internationals suck.

if fit mate I'd be going Holgate, Williams and Jagielka as a 3 and Kenny and Baines as full backs.

Not ideal as it's a lack of experience on the right hand side of the defense but it's needs must isn't it. If we were playing 3 at the back I would have selected Holgate instead of Mori anyway tbh but that's not the point, he's a left footed option plus can fill in for Baines.

 

[longers]

Well at least we've reduced our wage bill by about 100k a week with the injuries of Coleman and Funes.

Looking for positives here...

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Say what you want about Mori, but our record was good with him in the team. Get well soon Funes

 

[maccavennie]

He's not a starter really but now we're pretty short in that position.

yep just posted that mate that it's another option down. I should imagine this will open up a big chance for the likes of Antonee Robinson based cover for left back, Kenny right back, Pennington as cb cover.

On a positive note it could be a great chance for another youngster to make an impression and no better games than the rs away and utd away as a test!

Go with that or possibly. Pennington in the three and Holgate as right back

This is something I really wanted to see tbh. I think we have talent in the stable, but our backline has been reliable enough to keep the youngsters out of the team. We might be forced to play our hand here.

 

[irishblue11]

ffs.

We'll do well to find four to play at the back at this rate!

could do edge, I'd probably just edge ( no pun intended ) Holgate for his pace just in case he needs to cover the back.

I say we go and smash 6 past them so we don't need to worry about the defensive side
