I am not a great advocate of March but last night I thought that he was one that could walk off at half time with his head held up. If only he could do it in the final 1/3rd of the pitch.

March was one of our better players in the first half but his inability to make more than the very occasional decent cross is hurting us imo. I hope Ali J starts against Spurs, he has looked pretty effective in his cameos so far. Whether he can offer the defensive cover March does is an unknown.

This I would love to see with AJ and Izzy on the wings. Gross centre midfield with Bissouma .......
Back four as last night. Sort of a 4 4 1 1

Exactly, nobody will know if he's on the bench for 70 minutes

Based on last night AJ is ready to start with Solly coming on as a sub.
Sky commentators liked the look of him especially his flick which hit the post.

I like March but think he could prove more effective from the bench for a couple of games.

I forgot about that - and I was there.
If only he could keep his head held up when crossing a ball.

Absurd suggestion. He will be good but not yet ready to replace a player who has been one of our best this season.

I agree its not a good suggestion particularly when you consider the partnership he has with Stephens and that Biss is still feeling his way into PL life etc etc....but I'm not sure Propper has been one of our best so far...very good against MU ..but decidedly average against Fulham and from what I saw on the box not brilliant last night....ok against Liverpool....no idea re Watford (where most were crap)
We all know CH is defensively minded. AJ won't get to start (barring injuries) until Chris thinks he's got the defensive shape down pat, and then he's got to play his way into the starting 11.
He might have done that already but I suspect at least a couple more games.

Very much agree.
Really disagree, the shift in momentum in the second half started with CH switching Pröpper and Bissouma’s positions in midfield.
Also Naylor tweeted that he expects Groß to be out for a little while this morning so yeah we’re going to need to improvise Saturday.

I must have been watching the wrong team! Both teams wear blue and white stripes (sometimes green), but the one you see has March as one of the best. In mine he has probably only had one good game and that was against Utd. Player with and abundance of talent but not yet the intelligence to use it to consistently good effect!

He wasn't talking about March though, he was clearly talking about Propper

strong and stable with me, or...
Thought March has had a really strong start to the season, looks physically more up to it, and up until Monday was really showing why CH has shown a bit of faith. That said Ali J has come on v Fulham & Saints and shown some real pace and attacking threat. Would imagine it’s going to be really close between them on who starts Saturday.

Needs - and deserves - a start imo too. He looks very talented from what we've seen so far, and unfortunately March, despite definitely showing improvement, still hasn't really shown he's good enough despite having God knows how many chances now. Offensively just doesn't offer enough - I'm perplexed at how poor his crossing can be for a winger at that level for a start!

Yep, hard to believe a player who has oodles of skill and trickery can be completely incapable of looking up and laying in a decent cross more than once every few games. Incredibly frustrating to watch as he has so much to offer with other aspects of his game. Must drive GM fecking crazy.

He seems to bollock him most games so yeah pretty much.
Hmmmm
I'm sure he crossed for muzzas first v man u and for the gross chance at Liverpool ?
I'm not a Solly fan but his defensive work is massively important. I think hughton would be making a mistake dropping him for spurs.
In saying that I would love to see more of Ali j
