Sigurdsson or Dempsey?

Falque

I think we need to put more crosses in to get the best out of Dempsey, not likely to happen.. maybe if we start Ade.

Falque's a good shout, he had more about him against Maribor than most of them did all game.

Long term I would like to see Sigs given more time. I think there's quality there but both of them are having to do too much work.

Dempsey for me. Wouldn't do his confidence much good after the missed penalty if he was dropped. Perhaps he'd try and work harder to atone for it?

I'm not sure it's his work rate that's the problem, he having to do too much in the midfield.

Interesting to note we've got a 100% record with Dembele in the side, he is the key to making it all work IMO.

I like Dempsey too, I just think Sigs has more potential

Bale's

Not necessarily working harder as in tracking back and running around, but working harder when he has the ball and when he's in front of goal too. Making sure he's more clinical.

First and foremost at home if either play it should be 4411 and not 433!!! I want the wingers on the correct side, getting ball in front of them and attacking the oppo FBs. I want both of our FBs collecting the ball off the keeper and not sitting on the halfway line. This way we won't end up larruping balls upfield.

Assuming you mean if Defoe OR Ade play....,

If Ade is the striker then I'd prefer Siggy. I think he has showed more promise than Dempsey, but has been unlucky in that an attacking midfielder like him needs a good front-man in front of him and space to make late-runs. We currently have neither.

If JD is the striker then Dempsey is Hobson's choice - pure default

Dempsey looks to be absolutely good. Siggy has had some flashes.

I would give falque a go over both tbh
