It's a gamble but if he hits top form for the run in, it might help us stay in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) 3-4-1-2, maybe? With Jack being the CAM and helping out Nakamba and Drinkwater? Edited January 18, 2020 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a gamble, can't really have him costing us goals and games like he did against City (a game we would have lost either way) again. But at the same time he needs time on the pitch. Just hope his head is screwed on right this time and that he's learned from his mistakes and has the right attitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 About as good a lone up as we can manage I think (with the odd debate). But, where on earth is Engels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It's the team I'd have picked, though it's a bit of a gamble with Drinkwater starting, Conor and Luiz have been incredibly disappointing recently so a fair enough move. I just hope Reina still has it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2020 First time this is a genuine wing back on the left, this should....'should' be better! Think it will really help targett! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just be that Chester has overtaken him as 4th choice. He looked good to me in the games he has played whereas Engels looked a bit slow against Southampton.

If he is fit and available, I cant help but consider this another one of those really strange decisions from deano, engels should be on the bench minimum if he is fit (other strange deano decisions like Taylor over Targett, elmo over guilbert, playing lansbury from the start in the prem etc etc etc) Teams just don't leave their best players out of the squad, if Engels isnt injured these are the major things that make me question deano, not so much results, more about strange decisions for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will stick with 3/5 at the back but we need more from the full backs so I expect Guilbert and Targett will start. I think I would go with this: Reina Konsa Mings Hause Guilbert Drinkwater Targett Luiz Hourihane Trez ElGhazi Grealish Would be good, but there are too many players. Doubt we would get away with it. They use var, nowadays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
