Team news Sunday

[rubberface]

Watched the second half of the Derby back this morning and Diarra wasn’t great like. Positionally in defence he was all over the shop.

Him to drop out for me. Can’t drop Rigg after his last 2 performances.

Spot on mate. I'm only going off what i have witnessed for weeks now, he simply goes missing for large parts of the game. The price tag is irrelevant.

Lose lose situation tomorrow, we won't get credit if we win. Cos all the sttention will be on spurs, and if we lose the adoration will be on de zerbi.

Meh, so what mate. 3 points in the bag and a push for Europe..it will be bouncing if we win.

 

[Placid Casual 31]

I certainly wouldn't take Rigg out of the team at the minute, he's got a bit fight about him and tracks back. I hope he stays in the team for the remaining games of the season.

 

[Barney Mackem 13]

I simply do not get the lack of appreciation for the player that Diarra is and the potential he has, on here.

The vast majority on here do not go to games mate.
Its an Internet messagboard mainly made up of WUM and trolls.

Most dont understand the game.

 

[Rokeroar]

………………….Roeffs…………….
Geertruida.Mukiele.Alderete.Reinildo
……….Diarra..Xhaka..Sadiki….
Rigg…………..Brobbey………..LeFee

This would probs be my team too. Or maybe put Talbi on left and take Diarra out for Le Fee

The midfield is set up so he can just make runs into the box and get a few goals from midfield that’s what he’s there for not to do all the donkey work regardless of how he plays he always gets in positions to score

When has he got into the box apart from Bournemouth away once since AFCON? He has done nothing.

 

[woodlebert]

I think this is because his output is shots, goals and assists

So if he’s not scoring he’s quiet. Players like Xhaka and Sadiki are always working because their job is winning the ball and setting up play

If Diarra was constantly delivering he’d be getting 40 goals and assists a season

Hope that makes sense

Chest against the mags ? The two goals he’s got regardless of how he’s playing he always pops up with chances he Not there to win tackles and dictate the play he’s there to arrive in the box and get goals from midfield, he’s had 32 touches in the oppositions box that’s a lot for a midfielder

....he isn't delivering anything of note to the team.

The chest was from a corner man ..he's offering jack shit offensively.

 

[Tin Man]

Hume will start.

 

[stan the man]

Hume will start.

Le Bris picking the team..... Xhaka, Hume........ then some other players

Burnley?

Pretty sure loads of our recent goals have come from direct involvement from him. He makes stuff happen

Even if he wasn’t delivering, that’s the nature of his role. If he isn’t scoring or assisting, he seems quiet

 

[Southern Monkey]

A few weeks ago people thought Rigg wasn’t getting a game and should go out on loan. To now say he’s an attacking right side player in a game we need to take it to the opposition is a huge change. We are so narrow with Rigg right and Le fee left, it’s ok away from home perhaps but tomorrow we need to play on the front foot.

Nah, sorry like but he isn't deserving of a starting place at the moment imo....especially for Rigg, as some are suggesting. Mental.

 

[jaraarrow]

@columbo will know the team tomorrow

Le Bris wont change the way we set up or play 'on the front foot'. We aren't going to come out and try and blitz teams away, it simply isn't Le Bris's way.

Agree with this. Particularly if “front foot” means a loose defensive structure

De Zerbi loves to generate a fast counter so if we press them in a messy fashion they will cut through us

Yeah, exactly this. Le Bris wont be changing any style of play or set up...nor should he.

 

[Whitburnmakem]

"He's not playing out wide, Sadiki is".......i'm not comparing anyone. I'm saying Rigg deserves to keep his place as he has been very good past 2 games and Diarra....i didn't even notice him on the pitch tbh.

What ya on about man Jesus

Watched the second half of the Derby back this morning and Diarra wasn’t great like. Positionally in defence he was all over the shop.

Him to drop out for me. Can’t drop Rigg after his last 2 performances.

He’s playing practically as a second striker man look how high he is when we press he’s not there to be defensive he’s there to break into the box

Nah, sorry like but he isn't deserving of a starting place at the moment imo....especially for Rigg, as some are suggesting. Mental.

Rigg has done absolutly nothing for 2 seasons man zero goals zero assists he’s had one good game now he’s the second coming of Ryan giggs diarra although can drift in and out of games always looks like he could score

Nah, sorry like but he isn't deserving of a starting place at the moment imo....especially for Rigg, as some are suggesting. Mental.

So you think someone who always looks like scoring doesn’t deserve a game ahead of someone because they have had 2 good games in two seasons
