Parkender
Player Valuation: £950k
Exactly this.
He fits the system brilliantly in games like yesterday and against Newcastle.
But we also have Mirallas and Niasse as well.
Cleverley, much like Lennon, brings that experience and balance that you need to get the best out of the young players.
For as good as Del has been this season, Lennon is coming in and doing an entirely different job and is now getting results.
Cleverley is perfect for that role on the left as he does not have to stay rigidly in that position when attacking. But, when he defends, he tracks backs well and helps out the full backs, and it means we can leave Barkley further up-field where he can do all the damage.
Im having that one. Ged and Niasse might be technically better and more exciting wingers but I think the tactics and team yesterday were spot on. Martinez gets too much grief for being tactically naive but he done well yesterday. I wouldnt necessarily look to start that team at home or against weaker teams
