Nah its a good choice, even though we've kept 3 clean sheets the back 4 still need to get to know each others game and changing the system up front could have a detrimental effect on the defensive side.
Plus this looks like a good game for Benteke, Coutinho and Firmino to get to know each other and score a few goals.
Maybe sub Ings on in the 2nd half to make it 5-0.
Just would like to not have the pressure of going to half time 0 - 0
So Robbie Savage has just admitted to messing about in training and deliberately falling out with the manager in order to get a move from Birmingham to Blackburn.
Thoughts on that?
Personally I have no problem with players wanting to leave but him admitting to that makes me look like an even bigger ****. There is a way to go about things but that is crossing a line.
I don't know the full story but if he was told that he isn't for sale by Birmingham city, he either hands in a transfer request and lose money or piss around and don't lose money.
No issue with it what so ever, probably the reason why so many players who are handing in transfer requests and what not train with the reserves/youths.
Can will play box to box not like hell be sat in Lucas lap. Midfield is fine IMO.
Against a team that sits in, do we need two box to box midfielders? Milner will be doing the same job as Can while Lucas sits back and cycles the ball as well as defend against the counter. Couldn't we have Coutinho play in one of the midfield 3 positions in place of either Can or Lucas and bring in Ibe/Origi/Ings to play out wide? Just maybe gives us a little more width and creativity in the attacking third which I think we'll need. I think Coutinho plays best coming in from the left but we probably don't need the extra midfield player in a game where we will more then likely have the majority of possession. We also run the risk of being really narrow with both Coutinho and Firmino coming central instead of maintaining that width which they are both prone to do. Clyne will provide some width on the right but Gomez isn't great going forward so the game could get a little really compact.
