We finished 16th last season. We’ve sold a very important defender. We have no full backs. We haven’t addressed our lack of goals issue. For all the will in the world top 10 seems very optimistic.

Well they have to have been working on it as with Burn injured (another player out of position) we don’t have anyone else to play left back. We know Potter likes his players to be flexible and adaptable, and there’s nothing to say that given long enough March couldn’t be a LB, but it’s a...

Fabulous, lucky we’re so well stocked in defence…

It mind sound trivial but just because you can play LWB it doesn’t mean you can play LB. Different skill set, different mindset, different job altogether, as a wing back you’re always supported by a centre back which leaves 2 free centre backs, as a LB if you get beaten the opponent is in, you...

March could play there, but it’s not his natural or favoured position, he’s transitioned from a winger to a wing back, full back is different altogether. He could probably get away with playing LB for Liverpool for example as they have Fabinho who can seamlessly drop into defence, whilst...

Whatever we do it’s going to be a bit weak IMO. Back 4 and we have no full backs, back 3 with March and Veltman as wing backs and we’ll have no defenders on the bench, not ideal.

I’m not sure we actually have any traditional full backs in our squad, injured or otherwise. It does make predicting the defence easy for Saturday though, we only have 4 actual first team defenders in the squad plus Solly March who is definitely not a LB.

Out of interest, which other strikers should he be picking?

Sorted, thanks.

I’m going solo, can anyone recommend anywhere to park?

You didn’t say anything directly to me regarding your trolling, and you’ll have to forgive me, I don’t read every single one of your ramblings. So putting that to one side, obviously there’s a chance the next striker might also be utterly incompetent in front of goal, especially given that we’re...

They’re in for Abraham aren’t they?

:lol: so predictable. I suspect our injuries feel worse as we’re so thin in certain areas, such as using a system with wing backs but only have one for each side thus resorting a back 5 of centre backs.

Go on then, seeing as you operate on a higher level of footballing IQ than the rest of us, tell us which formation or system Potter is supposed to use to get his woeful strikers to put the ball between the posts. Ps. No, there’s no truth to your trolling. The stats, and there’s loads of them ...

Not that I’m overly suspicious, but I bet you’ve checked to see Webster and Welbeck were out for 5 weeks before you picked 6 weeks as your cut off. I haven’t checked, but it just strikes me as a remarkably CJ thing to do.

This nonsense simply doesn’t justify my efforts of a proper reply. Trolling, that’s all it is.

Such as? I respect the club’s stance on wage and transfer structure but teams don’t accidentally sell quality players for cheap all that often, I’m not saying we’re looking in the bargain bin but we seem to want £40m players for £20m.

Soooo. This leaves us with 4 centre backs as our only recognised first team defenders to play Burnley. Dunk, Webster, Duffy and Veltman plus a LWB in March. At least Potter won’t have too much of a headache over which defenders to pick :lol:

I was under the impression that Moder and Mwepu had both played a reasonable amount of football as defensive midfielders though I might be wrong. I don’t think Bissouma came to us a DM either, it’s a position he’s grown into. I agree we’ll need a no nonsense DM if we’re playing a back 4 with...

If we are trying to trim the squad to accommodate and afford new signings surely IF we were to sell Bissouma there would be no sense in signing another central midfielder, especially a DM seeing as Mwepu and Moder can play there, and so can Groß and Alzate if need. This is a very strange...
