I can’t see Dasilva and MVE playing as orthodox full backs
I can’t see Dasilva and MVE playing as orthodox full backsI still think Robins will try wider AMs or even a 4231 at some point. I get a feeling he’s got another formation he wants to try once everyone’s in. Possibly not all the time but as an option when chasing or against certain teams at home.

But u flip flopped already saying u got it wrong he's not a wing back???You are what you do, Eccles was mostly a RWB as he couldn’t get in at CM starting out as a young player. It’s not unusually for young midfielders to play out wide at first.
Saka has only played at AM when we’ve had no other options, and we just signed an AM who got on ahead of him yesterday.
Id be willing to bet Sakamoto plays wingback more than AM this season.

I've been a massive fan of MR, but I think he got the big decisions wrong tonight.Each time he’s played AM he’s showed intelligent movement, good technique and worked hard on and off the ball. Quite how a half asleep Palmer still comes on for him I don’t know.
Maybe thats the difference between a manager who can get us to the brink and a manager who can take us beyond that. That’s a tough call for King to makeI've been a massive fan of MR, but I think he got the big decisions wrong tonight.

Agree, but the same could be argued for Ayari, although I suspect we contractually have to give him game time to have secured the deal. If he's AM we have Saka Palmer, O'Hare when fit and Allen already. I think Ayari was planned as more of a Gus replacement but can't be trusted positionally.As for Saka, he’s going to be one of those players that gets better every time he doesn’t play with some of our simple fans. He’ll get another chance but just not sure where he plays. Too lightweight and ineffective at AM and never getting past Van Ewijk at RWB
Ayari played well last night but looked to be fading fitness wise after an hour, subbing him was correct, in fairness to Robins he wasn’t to know Palmer was to be as ineffective as he was, personally I’d have taken him off after 10 minutes.Agree, but the same could be argued for Ayari, although I suspect we contractually have to give him game time to have secured the deal.

I’m getting a bit bored of Robins again saying he didn’t have a chance to bring Saka on. We lack creativity in midfield and he is the only who can beat his man and get the ball into the box for the strikers. Then we’ve got people moaning the strikers aren’t doing anything. They’ve got nobody that’s passing or crossing the ball to them with any accuracy in dangerous positions.
The game was crying out for an extra body in midfield last night, we had 2 isolated strikers and we couldn't get out of our half for most of the second half, leaving 2 upfront was a fucking disaster that cost us 2 points and the chance of our first away win of the season.I’m getting a bit bored of Robins again saying he didn’t have a chance to bring Saka on.

The same reason why Southgate brought on Maguire at half timeAnd why bring a jet lagged Palmer on when Sakamoto was ready and available?
Did you see Eccles with the ball at his feet jestering to the strikers to make a move?I’m getting a bit bored of Robins again saying he didn’t have a chance to bring Saka on.

Well never know while he's not playing.Did you see Eccles with the ball at his feet jestering to the strikers to make a move?
There was no movement from any of the 3 strikers used last night, which is why another body in midfield that was capable of running from deep was what was required.
Wright had his worst game for us last night, Godden was poor by his own standards, and Simms is just pointless.
It just seemed a perfect opportunity to bring him on with Ayari flagging and Palmer, not renowned for his stamina, had travelled halfway across the world and back having played 90mins in between. Even then it looked like we needed another body in midfield and should have gone 1 up top. Two perfect opportunities to bring him on in the one game and he didn't.I’m getting a bit bored of Robins again saying he didn’t have a chance to bring Saka on.

It’s easy at the time tooIt’s easy in hindsight isn’t it
Bringing on Palmer at Wembley was also a masterstroke.It’s easy in hindsight isn’t it, at the time I could see the logic in bringing Palmer on Robins wasn’t to know the inept all round performance he would get from him I’m certain behind closed doors he’ll let Palmer know how unacceptable it was.
As for not using Sako again easy in hindsight. Looking back I’d think bringing on Thomas or Kitching or even both just putting bodies in the gaps that were appearing in midfield might have been better but that’s just an opinion again easy after the event.
He had no other options..McGuire? Palmer was poor the other night, but we were already in trouble by then with the insistence of keeping the 2 strikers onBringing on Palmer at Wembley was also a masterstroke.
I’ve read some funny things on this forum but this has to be the best. Why would you even write that let alone think it? “Bringing on Palmer at Wembley was also a master stroke”. The passive aggressive quotes on this site are worse than sex addicts given the red pill. Unbelievable.Bringing on Palmer at Wembley was also a masterstroke.

You’ll find there were no tears just a slice of banter, mixed with a little bit of irony and someone biting it. Thanks for being the first one to eat an enigma sarnie. Not heard the word blimey since 1987….. think it was someone from London can’t remember now.Blimey - no need to cry about peoples comments
