Laca and pepe could only start in bench according to Sami Mokbel. That's mean we'll probably see Mkhi Nelson Auba
You don't rate Holding?AMN isn't a proper RB, so that wont do. We're weak at LB and we haven't got a CB worth a **** apart from Sokratis. Oh, and Xhaka is still horse sh!t and Özil is still here. Apart from that, we're alright.
Can’t argue with any of that, but I know the youngsters had your juices flowing, big fella.AMN isn't a proper RB, so that wont do. We're weak at LB and we haven't got a CB worth a **** apart from Sokratis. Oh, and Xhaka is still horse sh!t and Özil is still here. Apart from that, we're alright.
I can't expect much from him. I know he should have recovered fine, but I until I see him at the same level he was at (whatever that was--he was inconsistent but his ceiling looked quite high), I can't rely on him. If he nails down one of the CB slots and looks the part, it'd have to be a bonus at this stage. We'd be expecting him to have improved by sitting on his arse for 10 months...You don't rate Holding?
As you’ve mentioned him, as I recall @Rex Banner said something about people being myopic who thought that bad defending was solely down to defenders.Not sure that's what @Rex Banner said, just that having a winger to stretch the play will mean the team won't end up inviting so much pressure.
Watched enough of that stuff last last season. And here we are again. The players we’ve bought will not cure this ****. I don’t care if I am in the minority.

In any team game it’s never totally one player’s fault. Keeper mistakes are partly because defenders let the opposition get shots off.
Forwards who can’t score goals can say they weren’t given enough chances.
At the end of the day players who are poor and let the team down need to be replaced. Mustafi will not be improved by a winger however myopic that might appear. Kos looks to be finished, Holding is still injured and Sokratis will still make stupid challenges in some games. This team is crying out for a proper CB, let’s hope one comes in the next few days or we’re stuck with more of the same.

Gundeouzi has 0 position sense, you can tell he was an AM before. He ruins our whole defensive shape the way he runs around every single player that has the ball.
