[quote=āBandage, post: 742054, member: 9ā]A bit of rotation alright but itās still a strong team and Samaras is included after his recent injury. Not really a defensive minded player in midfield though.
Subs: Zaluska, Ambrose, Lassad, Ledley, McCourt, McGeouch, Hooper.[/quote]
Like the selection. Forrest still looks rusty and Sammy obviously needs game time. Didnāt think weād be playing in a 4 man midfield but getting a healthy SPL lead is paying dividends.
a) I think Wanyama is a terrible centre back, he has been exposed there on a number of occasions.
b) You are taking your best central midfielder out which is a silly thing to do.
Iād be really disappointed if young Fraser was available tonight and he has gone with Wanyama at centre back, how long more is Gershon out for? Lennon really needs to start focusing on his picking his best side and not his best players, he has the likes of Ledley, Brown, Kayal, Wanyama, Mulgrew, Commons, Forrest and Samaras competing for 4/5 positions and Hooper is a fixture up front. He dicks about with the team in order to accommodate these lads and itās usually at the expense of exciting players like Watt, Stokes and McCourt.

Thatās quality Totti. Itās mad the effort that Lennon has gone to just to ensure Hooper starts tonight. FFS.
Huh, the second part of that post was a general observation borne from my initial point on Wanyamaās selection at CB tonight. Your faith in Lennon is blind, Iām not even allowed raise valid concerns without you barking at me.
Simple 1-2 ripped us apart there. Not sure where Matthews was, did we lose possession when he was upfield? Feel a bit of sympathy for Izzy. Obviously should have done better but he got it the right position and clearly just didnāt see Humphrey on his blindside.
