2017/18 Ramiro Funes Mori

Nice to have him back. First choice with Keane going into the new season you’d think, unless we buy any other CBs.

Think people are easily forgetting Holgate when saying Mori is the best centre half at the club. I thought Holgate was superb until Allardyce bizarrely decided to drop him from the team after the Liverpool shenanigans.

Would love to see a Mori/Holgate partnership. A left footed centre half and a right footed centre half playing in their preferred areas of the pitch is always a preference for me as well.

Not sure if Holgate is still injured? But I guess we wouldn’t get to see that partnership anyway. Jags and Keane seem certain starters and to be fair, since they’ve had a run of games together we’ve looked solid and are keeping clean sheets so can’t really complain too much.

Yes, it is odd but we now have competition in defence, Jags, Keane, Mason and Funes are all viable options. Is it a coincidence that Jags and Keane are both playing better since Sam came in? everyone looked shell shocked under RK.

..he provides us with a bit more attacking threat from set pieces because he attacks the ball well in the air.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, a couple of starts and he will enemy number one again.

In defence aswell, was nice to see someone defend on the front foot and with a bit of aggression

Keane/jags/mori/holgate +1 other maybe?

Bin Williams tomorrow

If we make no defensive signings I’d try him with Holgate.

Spot on.

To be fair a CBs job is a lot easier when there are more men behind the ball and you play deep.

If we do try to play more “entertaining” football, then players like Jags and Keane will be found out a bit more.

Just hope masons progress isn't forgotten about and he gets another run at ch

 

[Blue Juice]

It's nice having a left foot too

 

[Albro]

Cannot believe people want to have him sold. Quality player.

A player you actually like. Nice one

 

[Sweeneytoad]

He's a red card/penalty waiting to happen but I love the man.

 

[Albro]

I think a lot of the dislike for him came from his red against Liverpool. People haven't let go.
