Team news for Middlesbrough

We travel to a inform Middlesbrough on Sunday which is going to be a very tough game.

With Kane being out for around 6 weeks and Ndombele who knows if heโ€™ll be fit or not we are missing two top players but have Son back from suspension.

Do we rest a few or do a full rotation that never ends well normally?

TEAM NEWS:

๐Ÿ”น @HKane (hamstring) & Tanguy Ndombele (hip) โ€“ continuing assessment and unavailable this weekend.

๐Ÿ”น @Ben_Davies33 (ankle), Hugo Lloris (elbow) & Danny Rose (calf) โ€“ continuing on-field rehabilitation.

TEAM NEWS:

๐Ÿ”น Heung-Min Son (suspension) โ€“ available after completing three-match ban.

๐Ÿ”น @ericdier (illness) & @KWPeters (calf) โ€“ returned to training.

#THFC โšช๏ธ #COYS

My line up would be something like this -

Gazzainga
Aurier Sanchez Toby Sessegnon
Skipp Winks
Lamela GLC Son
Parrott

Subs: Vorm, Foyth, Tanganga, Dier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Lucas

mmmm in the current game maybe yes

no way those are fouls to me but you see them given for some players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
100% pen for the first one early on. Got his ankles taken away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dele got up and congratulated their keeper on a good interception


----------------------------------------------------------------------
he also flapped his arms in disagreement when it came about that VAR was even being considered as he considered it a good challenge

So you’re going with a combination that you know doesn’t work.

Sissoko should never be allowed to play central midfield. He’s part of the problem of our cbs having to long because he hides
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yes because even though it doesn't work, i reckon the other combinations in there work even less.

skipp winks would be a nonsense. sissoko skipp maybe, but winks is better than skipp so surely you just go sissoko winks......


actually maybe you just put Foyth in there with Sissoko but that is a huge kick in the teeth to Winks.

maybe you do Foyth Winks and play Sissoko RAM?


every combination is a total mess

Any combination with Sissoko is a mess and shouldn’t even be considered.

A CM who can control and pass the ball, that immediately rules out Sissoko.

yeah but at least he can get about the pitch and actually provide some kind of physical challenge for opposition.... skipp and winks would be neat and tidy, make little forward progress, and as soon as we lost it they would run through the centre of the pitch like we are not even there.... at least at the moment teams usually have to go down the sides or long to get through us.

Teams are just walking through the middle with Sissoko there.

He makes no difference defensively and is a hindrance offensively playing there. Can’t believe people can’t see this.

Reason why Toby has to go long is because Sissoko hides and tbh the defence don’t trust to pass to him.

I’d rather have a busy facker like Skipp who has the ability to gather the ball and turn with it.

Ideally though levy gets his staff out and find a more ready to go CM this month
