CJ 0 Posted November 19, 2011 It is the right selection in my opinion. I still really worry though when you look at the bench, only Drury there as cover and if one of backs gets injured I really struggle to see a solid back four formation. No sign of any of other backs on bench and instead we have three forwards there. To me that suggests manager thinks that if anything we will be chasing the game late on!Competition is so important within a team and we have no one really keeping the back four on their game. They know barring injury they will be on all game, whereas forwards and midfield can see players on bench who could take their place.I hope I am wrong but best result I can see is draw, likely to ship another three goals again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
