Whew, what a pain in my arse, just finally found a way to watch the game live. It normally never takes me this long. Must be the holidays.
Anyhow, could someone please clarify, am I seeing this right, we are playing a starting XI without an actual holding midfielder?

At least it is abundantly clear what effect the manager has on a side. AVB was too fearful and defensive, but Tim is clearly a total amateur. I'm not convinced he's going to learn from it either.

Why do ALL other top teams with 2 man midfields have a defensive + box to box/CAM combination, while we think we can come up with some new and exciting formula and do away with the defensive player?!?!

Chriches and Chadli have been shocking. I hate playing with no defensive minded central midfielder too. Having 2 'ball players' in Eriksen and Holtby hasn't really offered anything more in a chance creating sense at all and because of that it's just like we may as well give the back 4 a bit a protection in the shape of Capoue.

Sigurdsson has been OK I think but Lamela has to come on for Chadli IMO.

I do not understand starting with Sigurdsson and chadli. Both extremely poor. Our defending is comical too

Not the defenders although admittedly not the best. The system. No cover in front of them.

I think Timmy plays these games out on FM14 the night before and just takes it from there.

when is Vertongen coming back? And Kaboul? these two are useless defenders. And Is BAE going to be recalled?
