If Sanson makes it, then Sanson, Ramsey and McGinn is passable - if Sanson doesn't make it then I'm not sure what we do. I really don't want to see McGinn put back into the deeper role where he's completely ineffective, but I guess we'd have to. New manager, same problem. Our only other options for midfield would be Carney or Young, with McGinn playing in the deeper role. Or as a final option, Axel as the deep lying midfielder? It’s not great is it. Let’s hope Luiz, Nakamba, Sanson, all pass fit. Edited November 17, 2021 by ferguson1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted November 17, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) It could be a very inexperienced midfield if Luiz, Sanson and Nakamba are all out. Traore and Bailey are out too. I suppose it’ll be McGinn Ramsey and maybe Carney? Edited November 17, 2021 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Could be one for Tim Iroegbunam in this case, rather than playing Carney plus a player out of position in DM, or a player out of position in DM with Young also out of position in CM. If nothing else at least Iroegbunam is a natural in the position but yeah, not ideal either way really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’d be fine there, but then who plans CB? If we’re shoehorning players in to DM I’d rather it was Tuanzebe as I think he has more attributes for that role, and it’s doesn’t break up the Mings Konsa partnership which to be fair has worked well for the most part.

I said when we had him on loan last time, that I thought he’d make a decent dm. He does carry the ball well, and he’s quite agile for a defender. I’d rather him there than Ashley Young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 With Luiz, Sanson and Nakamba all looking likely to be out, I guess the options are playing one of Tuanzebe/Hause further forward or playing Buendia ahead of McGinn and Ramsey with Ings, Watkins and Bailey up front. Either way, not sure this is going to be the positive start we all wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
