I know how it works but at times we are just not very good at it against opponents who have worked us out and use it to exploit our frailties when confidence levels dip and can't execute it effectively to the point where we get ourselves in trouble. I'm not advocating that we adopt route one Pulis style, just at periods in games to relieve self induced pressure, to use our opponents tactics in smothering us as their Achilles heel.

Playing pretty intricate football is great to watch, getting beat by it or struggling against the likes of Rotherham with it isn't. My concern is that Carrick continued it against Chelsea when it was doing far more damage to us than Chelsea themselves, it's a concern when the Manager can't or won't switch things around during games. 

I agree with that 😀 But it is what it is right now. I think Carrick is also learning, but he has his way how we want us to play and as a new coach he probably is a bit stubborn

No kids on the bench anymore though! That's why I said yesterday I don't think we can complain about injuries going forward. We're nearly there.

Who is gloves on the bench haha

That lineup has since been deleted.. what is going on haha

Hoping it's just precautionary with McGree, because Silvera's obviously played far less football.

Gloves is gone. Ffs another player to replace in the summer

Is that Greenwood up top?

Most likely....

Silvera is probably on the bench because he didn’t play on Friday like McGree did. With the traveling and playing on Friday I never thought McGree would make it. Also surprised that Silvera has. 

My kid is playing while boro are playing so I’ll be left out in the cold. Luckily I can restart the boro match when I get home. So no texting @Downsouth😉

Hope not. Hopefully 4-3-3 with Greenwood Forss Azaz. Have my doubts though.

Barring an injury to Howson, I'm not sure he will, except for rotation purposes.

Can't see us blowing £5-6m on him if Carrick doesn't rate him in front of Howson or Barlasser

Which is a shame as I REALLY rate him
