And then instead of playing a centre-half at left-back, CL puts in a right-back at left-back!

And then the young lad of a right-back, who CL brought in to replace the right-back who was playing at left-back, got a bit of runaround from the Watford winger. So the young right-back swapped over with the right-back who was playing at left-back and became a young right-back playing at left-back and the right-back who had been playing at left-back became a right-back again.*

I am beginning to wonder if there are too many buttons for CL to press.




* it may be that only people who were at the match will understand this. And perhaps not even some of them!

Understood! And agreed! Square peg...round hole...Square peg...round hole...Square peg...round hole... repeat until it fits...

I'm really worried about this. i think MA made a similar mistake.

Now if the dressing room side with nils. which they may well do, we are in trouble.

Now Levien will have a hard time getting anyone to play out of posistion, because they know if they don't play like they were born there, they might get critisised.

Not only was he out of posistion, and playing reasonably well considering. but he has been far from our worst player.

How can the other players except that?

Would you respect your boss in a similar situation?

And if this was just a tactical dicision to give someone else a chance, it would not have gone public. The only reason a manager would make a statement like that to the press is to make a point. And i think CL is a fool for it.

Momo would have deserved it

Williams would have deserved it

Hammond may have deserved it

But Nils didn't!
