FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted November 23, 2019 Amadeus on the bench seems a bit odd but I guess Tettey and Trybull is a pairing we know can do a good job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted November 23, 2019 Well played, manager, team solid but with a bit of flair. Buendia hasn’t been pulling his weight lately 👍🏻 Good to see Zimbo back 👍🏻👍🏻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CirclePoint 200 Posted November 23, 2019 Would like to see Vrancic on the field. I always feel he brings that something extra during a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,131 Posted November 23, 2019 Is Leitner injured? I was hoping to see him next to Tettey or Amadou, but not even on the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 23, 2019 Disappointed not to see Vrancic and Amadou in partnership. And I know Buendia hasn't shown too much but the stats say he is our leading tackler, creates the most chances. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,605 Posted November 23, 2019 Positive to see Zimmerman back and McLean further forward. Confused about Amadou still only on the bench- is Trybull really better than him? Also does the continued absence of Leitner suggest there was something to those post Brighton rumours or is he injured now? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,379 Posted November 23, 2019 As above, McLean is actually reasonably capable at this level but but when he plays as one of the deeper midfielders, his tendency to charge forward and join the attack leaves us far too open. I'm actually quite optimistic about this lineup. We have bench options and look like we've acknowledged playing with one centre midfielder doesn't work at PL level. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flying Dutchman 744 Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) I feel like Emi has the 'fine, I'll prove you wrong' attribute, coming off the bench and making his point. I remain a huge fan of him, and he is incredibly creative - the stats back that up, but theres been an element of petulance and error about him recently. Dropping him could be a masterstroke, make him aware his place isn't a given and encourage him to show why he may believe DF is wrong to drop him. I'm thinking Joe Cole under José Mourinho at Chelsea in that first season. Edited November 23, 2019 by Flying Dutchman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clint 221 Posted November 23, 2019 Not convinced by this for a number of reasons but fingers crossed. What does Idah have to do to get on the bench ahead of Dennis? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzar 1,702 Posted November 23, 2019 Looks like McLean in the 10 role. Can't really argue with dropping Buendia on form. Perhaps Trybull offers a better blend of gall winning and passing than Amadou? Who knows? Just desperate for a performance and win. A big game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ramrod 258 Posted November 23, 2019 I'm disappointed for Emi but perhaps DF is trying to take pressure off him. I'm also disappointed not to see Amadou in with Tettey. I can't believe Trybull is better. Maybe it's because he's the CH sub and he'll come on later. I haven't rated McLean but I like his attitude so am prepared to give him time.

wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted November 23, 2019 1 minute ago, Havefaith said: I utterly despair at the whining stupidity of some people. Amadou was crocked. So he's probably not as fit, so he doesn't start. Also, as he has yet to flippin start in midfield, it would be less certain in terms of pairings. Totally sensible to have him on the bench as a great option later in the game. You can resume your whining stupidity now. I see you're on a friend making initiative again. Could you be more specific as to who you are insulting, or is it everybody that isn't you . 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
