Jan is too slow to compete with good wingers on the wing. It is also ridiculous to play him out of his best position. Playing him there will only frustrate him as he will get burned by pace, and have wanted nothing to do with it.

Agreed. Jan is no less dodgy at fullback than Rose. Looks good goin forward but gets horribly exposed.

I think our best team is:

Rose​
Walker Rose Walker Rose​
Rose Walker​
Rose Walker Rose​
Walker​

I'm sorry but that's just plain stupid. It's obvious that our best team is;

Walker*

Walker* Walker* Walker* Walker*

Walker* Walker*

Walker* Walker* Walker*

Walker*

* Walker on "hippy-crack" obviously! :)

Lloris

Kaboul Dawson Chiriches Vertonghen

Sandro Paulinhio

Holtby Eriksen Lamela

Soldado

I think so.

Note one English player and neither of the two English full backs to be seen!

How can it possibly be our best team? Two haven't played yet, and one has about fifteen minutes! How can we assess if it is our best or not?

It may be the best on paper, but as we are always told, football isn't played on paper.

I will keep banging this drum until people realise you can't judge a team on random youtube clips of the past.

lloris
walker kaboul vertongen rose
sandro paulinho
Lamela eriksen Townsend
Bobby

I'd go with that, or shift Eriksen to the left and bring holtby into 10.

It won't happen but I'd love to see us go 3 at the back with wing backs or touchline hugging midfielders once in a while.

Something like

Lloris
Chiriches, Kaboul, vertonghen
Lennon, Paulinho, sandro, rose
Lamela, Eriksen
Soldado

Or take the bielsa approach

Lloris
Chiriches, Kaboul, vertonghen
Sandro
Paulinho, Eriksen, dembele
Lamela, soldado, townsend

Anyway, isn't it great to have options. With our new players we can now choose who's best rather than who's not the worst. Loving the flexibility in our squad.

Not enough centre backs. Add Capoue and then we can match the old scum sides that used at least five cb's

This thread really doesn't create any sort of discussion.

Might as well have just started yet another thread saying our full backs aren't good enough.
