Team vs Forest


Pissed off with that missed chance but we go again Friday. Think the O’Nien experiment needs to end. Not good enough at all.

But as for the team, providing no injuries (Alderete & Reinildo) and with Angulo & Traore expected back…

Roefs
Mukiele Ballard Alderete Reinildo
Xhaka
Diarra Sadiki
Talbi Brobbey Le Fee

Subs: Hume, Cirkin, Ellborg, Geertruida, Rigg, Angulo, Traore, Mayenda & Isidor

2 points off 6th and we play first! Let’s do this!​
So…you hate O9 so much, he doesn’t even make the bench?…Righto.
 
Yeah, he probably is. I just don't think it's as clearcut a difference as many are making out.

Was people screaming for him to start in midfield in Xhakas absence, and when he finally played he was shite.
Key difference is he’s a defender first. I trust him in defence.

O nien isn't an experiment, he's come in when we've had injuries and done well, you are doing him a disservice there. Rigg deserves to keep his place in the team.
 
Might be a consequence of future transfer. RLBs comments this week didn’t strike me as a player we are going to make permanent.
Why would the player even want to come even if we were going to make it permanent, he’s been given little opportunity. Mukiele is clearly the better RB but seeing O’Nien start ahead of him must make him question his sanity.
 
Liverpool wanted him on loan until the end of the season because they had no other RB option. He's largely been poor.
He’s not been given a chance to build any sort of form, he’s just been thrown in when needed in to multiple vacancies. He was brilliant against Newcastle. I feel he’s not been given an opportunity for a run of games.
 
Said the other day that it was about getting Nordi’s attacking threat given Geerty isn’t much of a threat. After today I’d quite like to see Mukiele playing centre half to stop him f***ing off up top:lol:
Even if Nordi would stay playing RB I’d still try Gerty at CB, where’s he’s played before he joined us.
 
For me out best team is:

Roefs
Nordi Ballard Aldrete Reinaldo
Sadiki Xhaka
Rigg Le Fee Talbi
Brobbey

Le Fee is better than Diarra who is mostly ineffective. It also means Talbi loses his slot on the left which also makes us weaker.

I guess the main issue is Talbi and Rigg aren't great in those positions defensively but they need to learn.

I get why they want to play Diarra but think he'd be better used as a sub at this stage of the season and if he starts producing then start him.

No idea why Geetruida isn't first choice defensive back up.

He was half decent in the derby,but has been in a coma most of his time here.Remember Reggie sees these players in training everyday.
 
I'm not sure I understand you. The through ball for the goal was for Isidor. For him to be central hes our biggest creative outlet, you then have to have runners beyond him.
The through ball for the diarra chance was diarra. A chance made entirely because we had a midfield runner, and not a role we have anyone else who can play

Fair point on not playing ahead of O’Nien.
For some reason there has been a reluctance from RLB to play him though.
