Pace on the wings

Some shopping definitely needs to be done in January if Harry won't trust some of the younger wingers when Bale and/or Lennon aren't fit.

Walker did a frankly stunning job running the right flank by himself last night without ever getting caught out because of his runs forward, but we can't expect him to do that every time Lennon is injured. I know Modric performs far better when he's running the centre of midfield, but if Harry's going to deploy him on the right he needs to be told to stay there and not go wandering. He's pacy and tricky enough that he would have something decent to contribute on the wings if we're in trouble with injuries

Flying without wings?

I agree with the team in principle but Townsend couldn't do anything on the right against PAOK - as soon as Harry switched him to the left he worked wonders.

Also, Defoe's injured, no? I say we play...

Walker--Kaboul--Gallas--Rose
Kranjcar--Livermore--Sandro--Bale
---------------Modric
------------------Ade

i say we play 4-3-3 with sandro, parker and modric making up the midfield three. They did reasonably well against chelsea.

Friedel
Walker Gallas Kaboul BAE
Sandro parker modric
Giovani Ade Bale

King will most likely not play as he played midweek. Gio and Bale can swap flanks with modric playing centrally behind threading through the passes. Lots of creativity in that team whilst maintaing a solid defensive approach with parker and sandro

why would we play Gio. total waste of space, carp against Shamrock and everytime i see him.

would rather play Rose or Townsend. Gio will be off in the Window anyway

Think we should look at Blackburn's Hoilet & Samba in January. Possible bid for Cahill if Samba not to our taste.

We definitely need cover for Lennon & Bale, Townsend is certainly worth giving a run out.
