Wingers today?


I'd have Wilson left - he knows the position and is a goal threat and gives a quick breakaway threat.

On the right I'd have Diarra.
It will be same team if Alderete is fit.
Their combination for the second and third goals.at Everton was a joy to watch. Rigg running forward with the ball, Diarra sprinting ahead of him. Rigg playing ideally weighted passes just before Diarra could stray offside and Diarra crossing with his first touch.

For the second goal Diarra had 4 Sunderland players in the box waiting. How often do we see that? Not very is the answer.
Yes, we were saying they seemed to have a very good understanding Rigg and Diarra.

Absolutely zero chance of Wilson on the left. He's the Brobbey sub, and he's not a winger. Personally I'd be tempted to start Rigg on the RW but he'll probably go with Hume and keep it tight for 65 minutes.

Got the impression RLB does not expect Alderete to play. A fully fit O’Nien is a better bet.

Anyone expecting Hume to be left out is not listening to RLB.

We basically know that Isidor will be on the bench, and Hume will start be pretty much said it in the press conference.
 
It’ll be Hume right, to deal with Cucerella. Rigg was good in partnership with Diarra last weekend, so I expect to see them come on together.

Angulo left, but it’s largely irrelevant as he won’t do anything anyway.
 
Really no need to change it apart from the obvious if Talbi and Alderete are both out.

As it's been proven over the season as a whole, the lads coming on can/have changed games.
 
It’s strange how so many fans desperately don’t want Hume starting there but the man that counts and knows a lot more than all of us does. I guess it’s because fans look at the wide players 90% on final ball, creativity etc while Le Bris is factoring in things like defensive shape and how effective we were in keeping that Everton lad Ndyie sp quiet etc

Shown a lot of faith in hume has rlb and to a lesser extent o9...became better players because of it and their endeavour and improvements have been rewarded. Personally feel we have better but cant complain at the job they've done. Starters and finishers is an rlb cliche
