    Morato should be nowhere near the full back position. Savona is an iItalian international full back for God's sake. Play him. As for Zinchenko, happy he is not playing. No offence to the Ukrainian but I don't want him anywhere near the defence. Put him in Midfield (the number 10 position he might be useful). when he is feeling better.

    I hope Neco is made of steel because we absolutely need him. Unless we are 3-5-2 tomorrow with N'Doye and Bakwa as wing backs which they have played before. I would be okay with that.

    Chicago: left back in the changing rooms

    I don't know why you want Zinchenko at 10 when we already have at least three players for whom it's a natural position. He plays the 6 for his country, that makes far more sense assuming Ange continues with the double pivot. And even if he doesn't, Zinchenko as the deep midfielder pushing Anderson a little further up makes a lot more sense.

    Russ talks sense. I mean, it's only when compared to chic...but it's a start.

    Sigh. My main point was I don’t want him anywhere near the defence. He cannot run and he generally cannot tackle. He is a very good passer of the ball mind you. MGW and Anderson can play 6, 8 and 10. They are better options but if you are going to play Zinchenko play him away from the back line.

    Anyway m’lud I am done.

    Chicago: Tactical masterclass.

    You've got to go all the way back to West ham for the original counter rabbit.

    One of our group has added a ticket to the ticket exchange just now if anyone needs one.

    Watched the Morgan Press conference. Thought he spoke very well. I would assume if they are trotting him out there he is going to play.

    Turns out the Danes are set piece specialists. I wouldn't be against three tall blokes at the back with a 3-5-2 formation.

    I think jesus and Morgan play. I am actually optimistic that we get the ball rolling again. I wish i was there but I will have to watch through the long lens of the television, (Okay computer because I am at work_,

    I think Shady may actually have a winning match thread. Jesus to score and we win 2-0 or 2-1 (as we cannot seem to keep a clean sheet at the moment but tonight would be lovely).

    Chicago: Reflective.

    I kind of agree ... but I'm not sure who they are. I guess Morato -- Milenkovic -- Murillo? Though the last game Morato played over on the right was the Leicester game which I am still scarred by. Cunha perhaps? Isn't he a right-sided CB?

    Not in the europa squad.

    If we play a back 3, Abbott and Savona are the best options for the right of the three.

    The problem with switching to a three is also that it kind of goes against the, presumably, last two weeks that Ange has been drilling them how to play with a four. They've barely got that straight in their heads yet.

    Ange doesn't do tactics and formation changes to counter the opposition does he?

    He just plays his way and that's it.
