Whilst I agree a cb needs to start I feel like the only one ange will pick is dier and I'd still rather play royal than him. If I'd of thought he'd give Phillips or Dorrington a go I'd happily put one of them in.Agree with this largely but think we have to start a CB. Donley for Hoj
And we could have battered Aston Villa too.
I believe we have played 3 games with Emerson and Davies as the pairing and we have conceded 9 goals in those games.
I understand why Emerson’s recovery pace means he plays, but can we actually defend with him at CB? He must be tempted to try Phillips there for this one.
yea like it. although i actually think id rather emerson over davies just for his pace. davies is not exactly miles clear on the ball if he is at all so the pace is a big bonus playing highline. not sure who the better choice out of phillis and dorrington is as we havent seen either.Vicario
Porro Philips Davis Udogie
Sarr GLC
Johnson Gil Richarlison
Veliz
This what I would like to see.

Two of those games were against two teams above us in the league and 5 of the 9 goals were from set pieces, interestingly.
It wasn't like Højbjerg offered any protection in the middle eitherDier and Phillips is a no brainer
They can't possibly be any worse than Davies and Royale at Centre back.
Brighton just had chance after chance after chance straight through the middle of our defence last night. It wasn't even clever, most of the time it was a longish ball over the top from the right which just totally bamboozled our centre backs positioning leaving acres of space behind them.
This was about 10 or 11 times in the first half alone.
What is MDT?These are the tough but important questions we need answered.
Not who we play at CB or 6. Well done!!
After the everton game Ange said that our metrics were pretty bad on how tired all of our players were, and it showed against brighton. GLC needs to run this game.
Match day thread.What is MDT?
If it's Masturbation down time, I'm also curious about the record?
Does Bournemouth have any Brazilians to get him fired up to play against?He’s capable but will he be in the right mood?

Is Bissouma still suspended for this, I thought it was only a 2 game ban.
You forgot Sessegnon!.........
We're starting to come out the back end of our player issues, were down to just these missing for the Bournemouth game....
Romero
van de Ven
Bissouma
Bentancur
Maddison
Kulusevski
Solomon
Perisic
after which we only lose Son and Sarr so things are looking up.... finally!
Tell him Messi is in the standsNot sure that would work with him
