Surely our formation and line-up is, in some way at least, influenced by the team we are playing and their formation. Even though we should always aim to dominate, the days of 4-4-2 week in week out are gone.

Tommy is great, but El-Abd has been immense this season. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd pick Adam over Tommy every time at the moment.

I think Elphick was really unlucky to be dropped at the start of the season and his ability in the air and on the floor make me feel a lot more comfortable when he is playing rather than El-Abd, especially as we are using the centrebacks more often to pass the ball around and build from the back
He was unlucky to be dropped, no doubt. El-Abd just looks really solid at the moment.
Greer looks immense and has showed so much quality, El-Abd has been fine but I don't think he is anything special. We could replace him will Elphick and win more in the air as long as we keep Greer fit and commanding the defence
