Right back

Injuries are all part of the game but an over the ball s@#@ house tackle isn't

Same statement would indicate that you're a complete fanny, Friend. Injuries are part and parcel of the game, and I would not have it any other way. Should we do ballet instead?

Yes of course, because there's no middle point is there? I mean, there's absolutely no difference between someone getting injured by a mistimed challenge and someone having their leg broken by a reckless, over the top of the ball, studs showing challenge, is there? The fact that Taylor was sent off and has been roundly condemned for the challenge would seem to show that the rules and the professionals who play the game think that it isn't part of the game. Like I said, you're perfectly entitled to think challenges like that are part of a man's game, but I'm also entitled to think that makes you a tit.

Let's agree to disagree, Friend. And no doubt, I'm a bit of a tit, fond if the odd over the top manly challenge or elbow, rather than playing no-touch, non-competitive fannyball where everyone is a winner for just taking part.

Anyway, who do you fancy to replace Seamus? Holgate for me.

Kenny jags Williams mori Baines

Back 5 for the next game and how we should have set up vs the RS if Coleman was for anyway, it's how to beat them

No.

You have insulted me and now I must fight you.


Probably Holgate though, seeing as you asked.

Last time this three cbs played in a back 3 was against Chelsea mate. We'd get absolutely murdered in the Derby if they played together

 

[Barnfred 55]

...makes more sense to me. Kenny would be my choice in a flat back four, nothing like being thrown in at the deep end but that's why these lads are contracted.

I remember Flannagan being thrown in for the RS about the same age and he was their best player.

We've played it since then .... I think

City 4-0?

Think we've played it in a few games. that Chelsea game was a one off, as shown by our defensive record,a one off.

No mate, i was saying that the last time we played Jagielka, Williams and Mori in a back 3 was Chelsea, every other time Holgate has been alongside Williams.

The Chelsea game showed categorically that Jagielka and Williams cannot play in a back 3 together

It was a one off in terms of showing that that back 3 cannot play against a team with movement or pace mate, Holgate provides the necessary pace and is a must in a back 3

 

[messymascot]

If Schneiderlin is fit back 4 with Holgate at right back. If he isn't fit 5 at the back with both Holgate at RCB and Kenny at RWB. I don't want Lennon anywhere near RWB and Davies would be wasted out there.

Oh right, ha. Well there's a chasm of difference between Chelsea and the RS so I'll take my chances ha we're also a different prospect now anyway I suppose

Didn't have Davies or schnerderlin in the midfield ahead of them then.
