Villarocker Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Surely Davis and Taylor have to be injured? No way you would drop Taylor and if Davis isn't injured you're killing his confidence by not having him on the bench at least. I understand Whelan being dropped completely though. But, to pick Onomah over Grealish is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a big physical team and will be a threat at set pieces especially with our small centre backs and only Jedinak providing any size in the team.

Very predictable. Hoofball won't work today. Playing it in the floor and having pace is what will win it for us today if we intend to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Whelan Taylor and Davis are sick. Blessing in disguise imo. A midfield trio of Hourihane Jedinak and Onomah is what ive wanted for a while. Grealish doesnt work hard enough and 90% of the time he plays.. we lose. Passenger. Overrated passenger. Off the bench is his best position for impact. Bit worried about the defence but i think that team is good enough to get a point. I hope one or two of RHM Doyle Hayes and Ohare get a run out.

Taylor was benched recently while Hutton started left back , maybe he wants Jedi today and whelan on Monday - as for Davis he was so poor last week that he cannot complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onomah has four goals and an assist or two. Grealish waddles on the ball.. and has provided nothing. Looks pretty doing it.. no real impact. Bit like a Ferrari without an engine. I think off the bench he is better coming on against tiring defenders. Although i agree about the first part.

AVTuco Posted December 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2017 12 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: You're not surprised to see our third best right back at right back, or our best right back at left back, or a striker who has proved unable to play up front on his own playing up front on his own? Your question requires me to agree on your appraisals of our players... which I don't. But you're right that Hutton as LB is a surprise to me too. Selecting Elmo is fine, and Hogan just has to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelan is a better defensive midfielder than Jedinak - he's dreadful, but Jedinak has fallen off a cliff this season, he's gone, done, over. Up front on his own I'd take Davis over Hogan every time - neither of them score goals which is a big problem, but Davis does at least give you something to aim at.
