The Fish 10543 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Probably, Gayle hasn't played this weekend so should be fit and rested, Â I'd expect the starting 11 to be made up of players who've not featured at all for their international teams. I'd love to see Mitrovic actually starting some games though. The only way he's going to get into the swing of the league is by featuring for more than 20 ish minutes a game.

Howmanheyman 32125 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Does Rafa trust Mitrovic or think he's got 90 mins in him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Does Rafa trust Mitrovic or think he's got 90 mins in him?  I wouldn't trust Mitro to watch my toast on the grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10543 Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Does Rafa trust Mitrovic or think he's got 90 mins in him? Think it's more the former, Mitrovic is still too rash. But he needs to play, get used to what is and isn't allowed. HE's certainly got goals in him and can hold the ball up the pitch much, much better than anyone else in the side. Mind you, we're not often playing games where a target man is needed to relieve pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1208 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I still think we should be playing 2 up front especially at home.  Especially as Diame is being pushed too far forward anyway.  I definitely think there's a trust issue though.  Whether it's relating to his discipline or just a lack of belief in him as a player, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I doubt Rafa's ever going to favour that formation as a default, but it's nice to see he has that tactical diversity in him when it's needed (end of Norwich match). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Shouldn't Rafa have a shape he likes and drill the team on it with long term aims in mind? Â Not necessarily the shape you go for in the championship, home or away, but the one he sees us playing most regularly in the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's certainly settled on a shape; 4-4-1-1, but I've no idea if that's going to carry over into the Premier League, just for the Championship or just for those matches we've played thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
