Don’t think Cherif and BTA are unstoppable at all? I expect Awoniyi will get a start soon enough. And I assume BTA is only playing because of whatever is going on which the frenchies

I think he genuinely sees Cherif as his best striker. BTA like Sakamoto is there because he’s prioritising defensive ability over attacking in the wingers IMO. I’m hoping he stops doing that but I’m not holding my breath.

I don’t know, without the red card I think Awoniyi would have been the clear 1st choice for the foreseeable.

Thank god you aren’t in charge

Probably our strongest squad on paper mate but alright

the only strikers to score are Simms and Cherif???? Surely you need one or both in the squad every week? or as Dave O'Day sez, I ain't got a clue!!

There we go Grendel corrected for you

How is Simms a better striker on paper than Awoniyi? Or KKH better than MVE? Do you know what “on paper” means?

Yeah that's fair, "on paper" probably the wrong phrase to use.

KKH over MVE purely because MVE hasn't been good. And Simms/ Awoniyi / Cherif is a toss up, all have shown promise but also have had bad moments.

 

[Offhegoes]

5-3-2. Forget the wingers. Frank played this after a few weeks in the job, and it started our rise up the league.
2 DMs (Onekya & Yirrenkyi, Eccles as cover) then a more creative player (Torp or Hamer, maybe Rudoni)

 

[Graham64]

We are all just hoping these new lads are better than what we have. If it doesn’t work, then Lampard would be vindicated and attention would turn to our poor recruitment.

Poor recruitment which I assume Lampard would have had the final say on

 

[Para1140]

If we go down so be it but please lets beat these fckers

So you're starting Latibeaudiere? In the PL?

 

[David O'Day]

So you're starting Latibeaudiere? In the PL?

the fact that Rudi is only "maybe" is also a concern

Be interested to see if an Onyeka / Yirenyki midfield pairing would stop allowing the opposition acres of space outside the box.

Inability to stop / get out to / block / anticipate the pull back is infuriating.

What I’d go with if Bobby is out.

Simms / Cherif a toss up.

I'd go for that.

Think those are the instructions, 2 banks of 5.

 

[wingy]

There is no way they are worse, I just cant see it. We need to get these players on the pitch and let them form some sort of understanding. And in CM an Onyeka type would offer so much more than Grimes as Grimes simply can't Grimes at this level.

Fear factor seems to be playing a part think he attempted an effort on goal on Saturday but ell it contrast that with his goal at Swansea last year.

 

[Sick Boy]

Hope so I’m just not sure. Cherif BTA Grimes Rudi seem undroppable. The back line seems settled. Maybe Saka for a RW. Maybe a Yirenkyi for Onyeka but again I can see why he’d stick with those. All depends on training this week I guess. I’m hoping the wingers and a CM can give him something to think about.

Pretty sure Cherif has only been starting since Newcastle.

Based on? Goals!
