**** me, he's dropped a defensive mid for an extra attacker!

Alright, it's still not Fatawu and Mavididi in the same team, but it's more positive at least.

 

[Miles Away]

Good to see Vesty overcome that ankle knock.

Winks, Fatawu, Vestergaard, Ricardo all on the sidelines. Big players for us last season.

He is a bit shit at this level as his lack of pace would be a huge liability and he doesn't get the chance to stand with his foot on the ball for 20 seconds before picking a pass either.

He should have never have been given a 3-year contract and it's not something we can use to knock Cooper as it was all sorted before him.

Not a bad line up though but I'd have been tempted to stick with Winks in midfield as these are a very high energy/pressing team and Wilf's ability on the ball may get exposed under pressure.

Have we been better, defensively, without him?

I would say we've been worse.

 

[Brown Nose]

The right team. Good balance.

Winks hasn't done enough.

Still think Bournemouth will have too much for us.

What a ****.

According to this, the reason we can't play them both is an attempt to retain the 'box' midfield.

No offence, Stevie boy, but that is complete horseshit

Methinks that Semenyo geezer will destroy us down the left

I wouldn't say Okoli or Faes have done anything to say they should be dropped for him

Gone to just the two “defensive midfielders” and still the usuals moaning. It’s genuinely hilarious.

Didn't you have both wingers in your preferred team....

Weird intit?

Utter horse shit.

It's genuinely laughable. He must be trolling, surely?

I get what you're saying.

I suppose my question was, are we defensively better or worse without him as a unit? I don't think there's much in it but I think we look have looked slightly worse since his injury. It is a tough one as I agree that Faes and Okoli haven't done much wrong individually but we just don't look as strong at the back as a defensive unit without Vestergaard.

Cooper all over

**** the kids and put DCR and Soumare on the bench, and Ayew starts

****

 

[Miles Away]

Top bombing.

Blokes a retread at best.

He’s basically preferring Kristiansen as his attacking threat over Fatawu….

 

[homer]

Despite all things, we really should beat these ****ers

 

[Miles Away]

Anyway. Come on City!! 3 points needed.
