Absolutley-BUT JPVH cannot play as the rightsided CB in a back 3. The pairing of Igor and him in the middle worked very well. Dunk should never have been brought back in when he was.
What message does that send to the team? Nobody has a divine right to be picked ahead of players in form.
Any updates on any of these?
Unless I've missed something the club have been very coy about the extent /nature of their injuries/ possible return dates.

De Zerbi had no plan B - tippy tappy, work it up the pitch and pass it into the goal. This worked well and drew lots of praise untiil teams worked us out.
Huerzeler is in danger of also having no plan B- high line, lose the the ball upfield and slow defenders get sliced apart.
Its all very well...
Not entirely sure it was offside. Yes his foot is beyond the villa defender BUT what is not clear and is not shown on VAR is the position of the ball when it was passed across. If it is ahead or level with Gross's foot then he is not offside.
I have observed Igor several times this season and he has a disastous and disturbing history of going missing at left back. Definitely needs some coaching on positional sense.
In black and white terms you are right but I still feel that is harsh and ignores all the other good stuff he did.
Can't think of anyone else who put in a shift like he did - maybe JPVH but lets give the youngster some encouragement.
How do you make that out?
1. He was simply the last person under pressure in a stint of tippy tappy nonsense when the ball should have been released a lot earlier.
2. Do you mean the cross that de bruyne headed in ? A bit of a worldy, I'd say.
3. Or was it when Igor went missing - again- as...
Have been a revelation this season - honestly thought we were on a par with them until the 6-1 thrashing . Theyve had the same number of games to play as us and have had very few injuries . BHA have OT to lok at the medical team and or the training schedule.
And their crowd/ home support puts...
