keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 21, 2020 Hernandez is perhaps the likely replacement for Buendia. He is frustrating but is due a good game and Sessignon will need marking. But if Todd goes to the left and Onel to the right then I think we will be more balanced than an outright midfield player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted January 21, 2020 That hurts us. Trybull in and Kenny up top or onel or rupp to start in front 4 instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, with Grant at CB obviously. As it's turned out Duda's arrival could be enormously providential. Different player styles, but he looks like he could be just as influential as Emi - even more if can score. If they can gel together we'll have an awesome midfield! I might be tempted to put Rupp alongside Tettey. Rupp needs to get up to speed ASAP, & Spurs is as near to a free hit as we're likely to get soon.  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drop McClean for Trybull orRupp in my book he’s prone to losing his man when in a holding position. To be honest he’s not really the best in any position but can be played in all positions in that midfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really?  I’ve not bern so impressed by TT this season, but think Kenny has put in a number of decent shifts - it’s interesting how people see it differently! Given no Emi, I’d have Amadou or Rupp next to Tettey and have Todd-Duda-Kenny in the ‘3’. I think we definitely need to try to be more ‘stodgy’/harder to play against.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about Trybull in that holding position really. Isn't as good a passer as some of the others and often dribbled past too easily. Rupp, no idea! Haven't seen enough of him yet.

Indy 3,283 Posted January 21, 2020 I suppose we do, I’m not saying I’d be unhappy with McClean playing he’s done well enough to keep his place. Hernandez should start with Cantwell switching over, pace will be good against Spurs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All the Germans 1,075 Posted January 21, 2020 I'd be shocked if it wasn't Krul, Aarons, Zimmerman, Hanley, Byram Tettey*, McClean Cantwell, Duda, Hernandez Pukki * Assuming he's fit. If not, I'd go for Amadou / Rupp. I have a new found appreciation for Trybull, but he's not physical / mobile enough to be played as the 'main' defensive midfielder, as McClean is more forward thinking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,499 Posted January 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Nono said: Surely the cup game is the free hit? Yes, but that gives him 2 games to get up to speed. I'm not saying the Spurs game is unimportant(!), but if getting Rupp up to speed meant the difference between, say losing to Spurs & winning at Newcastle as opposed to drawing both then it'd be worth it. He may be rubbish, but I don't think he'd have come in unless Farke & Webber thought he was an upgrade.  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I wouldn't start with Hernandez as he's too risky. Granted he does unpredictable things but a large proportion of those cause us problems. The week before last we didn't have Duda so for me, given that Duda looks capable, losing Emi is not such a big blow. Trybull all day long for me as it's not a game to go gung-ho in Krul, Aarons, Zimmerman, Hanley, Byram Tettey, Trybull Cantwell, Duda, Vrancic Pukki Edited January 21, 2020 by Making Plans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
