Team selection

Post by Four four two »

Ok. So to get this straight we have :

One winger playing at left back and the other winger on the bench.

We have two centre forwards stuck out on the wings replacing our actual wingers.

We still have Johnson on his own in the middle.

The midfield including Cisse stays the same even though Kyprianou is on the bench.

We drop two defenders but NOT Ling who , ball watching, seemed to me to be the main reason why the goals were shipped.

Mmm. This is a concern but this 'unusual philosophy of playing players out of position' has to work at some point... surely ?!!

Up the O's !

And Cisse still starts.

Almost like Ross is trying to get the boot.

His body language in the interviews says it all … 'departure lounge'!

His body language may say something, but he has the authority to play any players and formation that he wants. He can play an actual new team

Summed it up perfectly.

Only thing I’d disagree with is exchanging Cisse for Hector, and I love Hector, given how young the defence is.

This is what's so frustrating with Ross and the reason why we're not doing better .

I'd be gobsmacked if he gets a new contract . Along with two or three other's in our defence he's unfortunately not good enough .

Fair enough but I still don't believe he's getting the best out of our players .
