We had 80% of the play in the second halve at Hull. What defending did he actually have to do?
He provided good width, actually pulled defenders wide when he went forward and has a better engine and pace than Dier. Naughton was shite in his last match, I mean REALLY SHITE so whats he done to come back in? If Walkers fit to play by all means, but I doubt he will be so...yeah. Also worth noting that Vlad plays at RB on occasion for Romania, so he isnt a fish out of water in that position.

Dier earlier in the season was much better as a RB, seems to have lost a bit of confidence going forward in recent games

Chirches has only played a couple of games as RB fior Romania - recent game was the first for ages, so he's probably less experienced as a RB as Dier is now.

Chirches in the games this seeason before Hull was worse than Naughton has ever been at RB., but if Poch wants to give Chirches another chance after a decent half against Hull so be it.

Bottom line is that Dier doesnt want to play there, body language says it all. He's so scared of getting ripped for pace he's now playing too narrow and not providing the width that is essential in Poch's system.

Bentaleb and Walker close to returning. That's already doubled our pace going forward.


Think a fit and in form walker will make a huge difference to us in an attacking sense we could do with his pace and width he could offer in MP system

Drop the attitude dude, I just made my case why he should play, and Naughton and Dier's defending has been shocking so it really is a mute point.

Really?
He played against Sunderland were they had one shot on target all game.
West brom they scored once.
His bad game was against Ba and they only scored once and Chiriches admitted he had a bad game.

Because Vlad's been playing like Terry.............

I mean one half against ten men with 80% possession and all of a sudden he's become a defensive Messiah.

I dont want to play Kane tonight. Rather play Ade or Soldado. Big week coming up against Everton & Chelsea for him.

Well, look at it the opposite way - what has anyone else done to prove they should retain that spot?

Plus Capoue is injured/AWOL at the moment and I really don't want to take on Everton without a DM.
