Davy Propper starts for Netherlands on ITV4 at 7:45

[LamieRobertson]

Bruno is invincible - he will be playing at 75...

and a grandad?

 

[Frutos]

I wonder if, when the day comes that Bruno is no longer automatic 1st choice (January/February) will CH consider playing 3 CB by bringing in Hunemier or Goldson and playing March and Schletto as wingbacks.

Apologies if I've misunderstood, but are you seriously suggesting playing Solly March as a wing back?

I know you have a slight obsession with our left-back position, but even so...

Both Valencia at Man Utd and Victor Moses at Chelsea have made that transgression before and Solly has shown that he also has a very good defensive side to him in a lot of the games played so far this season. Personally would hope that any change to his position is a long way off though...

BG's mind is total football. You're not capable of thinking in the same dimension as BG, so please don't question him.

Freudian typo on the sin of putting a great winger at full back?

 

[boik]

I think BG has a very valid point in suggesting DP play further forward; however, I have a feeling the Manager is quite pleased with the relationship that Propper is forming with Dale Stephens and for that reason it might not happen unless circumstances or opposition dictate

So do you think that Gross is doing a bad job then? Seems a bit pointless changing things to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

Bet his grandson will be called Ben

Both Valencia and Young have successfully converted at Man Utd so why not Solly who has shown that he can defend when needed as opposed to AK who creates problems trying to dribble his way out of defensive situations.

Be nice to have an update re Propper ..being selfish I hope he won’t play on Tuesday night and is fresh and fit for next Sunday

No not at all. He has been very productive but I think Propper could be productive as well so I am more than happy with either playing that role.

Well, it certainly isn't going to be Stephens and Propper in CM, with Gross in front of them all season! Apart from injuries and suspensions, we've got a load of players who have hardly participated at all this season - Baldock, Brown, Sidwell and Kayal, not to mention our record transfer Izquierdo - all of whom are likely to be pushing for inclusion at various times.
I have no idea who will be in or out at any time - quite happy to leave that to CH and co. - but changes in the line up there undoubtedly will be.

Pleasing that the Netherlands are all but out.

Pleasing that the Netherlands are all but out.

Why? With a bit of luck in the draw we could have had three points against them in the group stage.

Is that 'real' bad news or assumed ? Bit like Tomer missing the Israel game in the last break perhaps ? Barring a miracle the Dutch are out, so no point risking anyone with a niggle.

Hopefully not fit for this evening but will be for Sunday. If not drop Gross back to partner Stephens and bring in Izquierdo wide left and play March or possibly Brown in the Gross role is my suggestion.

Doesn't look good.

 

[BBassic]

OK so if Propper is out injured, and with no fit replacement, we push Gross back into midfield with Stephens leaving us with one of:

Knockaert
March
Brown
Izquierdo

slotting into Gross' position

Right?
