Winning the ball higher up the pitch tbh. I’m not against wingbacks but personally I’d prefer 3 at the back of we are going to use them as our only wide outlet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i'd like to see the same as you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's asking a lot to have them operate as wingbacks in a system where it's critical they are a big chunk of the defence. Need 3 centre backs to let them have the freedom to bomb up front.

weller54 Posted 6 August 2018 Share Posted 6 August 2018 Prefer Drinky alongside Ndidi than Iborra or Silva! Iborra too slow. Silva too lightweight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 6 August 2018 Share Posted 6 August 2018 Do Chelsea not realise someone would be doing them a favour by taking him off them? 130K a week and 3 million on top, get in the bloody biffa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison will play number 10. If he is to come back (unlikely) he’d play in the 2 in front of the back 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
