Please 352 for saturday...............

Won't make a difference how many we play at the back. City's defence is not equipped to deal with us. An early goal might swing it for them but I really think we're going to cause them huge problems regardless of formation.

I made an article a couple of years ago wanting us to play 3 at the back and I got 3 1 ratings for my effort

I'd like to keep 3 at the back but I fear it won't be as effective without Verts. Though I trust Wimmer to do a job, it is City away so one of the tougher games to throw him into.

By stating that Wimmer has never played fullback, I'm assuming you missed our away match against Chelsea earlier this season?

====================================

Na I saw it, we lost 2-1 with their winning goal coming from our left fullback position

The issue was if Wimmer had ever played fullback - not if he had played it to a high standard

The issue was who is better placed to replace Vertonghen out of Wimmer or Davies, based on their suitability to the role. You then used the Chelsea game as your reasoning why Wimmer should play there - yet you unwittingly chose this game without considering the outcome, or how the defeating goal came about.

Wimmer is not good enough to play the left sided CB in a back 3 against this type of opposition.

Wrong

I questioned your statement that Wimmer had never played fullback before. That has zero credence as to how well he had played there, if he had. It merely said that he had never played there, which I proved to be incorrect

'Wimmer is not good enough to play the left sided CB in a back 3 against this type of opposition.'

That's your opinion. It's not shared by me, and nor do I believe it will be the opinion shared by our manager. We shall have to wait and see

He played well ( although scored an og ) v Arsenal and again got the call to play v Watford when Verts was suspended.

Wimmer worst player on the pitch by a mile.

We were outclassed, Davies would've made no difference I'm afraid

A bit more compsure on the ball, and a bit more mobile. He could have made a bit of difference, but they were rampant that first half anyway and we still did not concede.

He would have probably been hooked at HT for Son too
