So, we’re 12 games into tbe season and it’s a tale of two halves. The first 6ish games we had a good run and the last few games we’ve finally come up against top quality opposition and have hit a bit of a brick wall.
Looking at the team we clearly have a first choice keeper in Guita, with Heno more than good enough for back up.
Our defence whilst limited picks itself; Ward - RB
Two of Cahill, Mama, Kelly and Tomkins.
PvA - LB
Up top we have the Ghanian Jesus, with Benteke well off the pace and Wickham down at Holby City, there’s no alternative.
The midfield is still a problem for me and still the major area of the pitch that doesn’t automatically pick itself.
We are awash with these “hardworking” MF, but all are limited.
For me you have:
Kouyate - our best CM at the moment, breaks up play well, attempts to drive the ball forward, but is clearly limited with his passing, dribbling and finishing.
Jimmy Mac - always gives 100%, puts his body on the line, attempts to get into the box, but he’s not a winger for sure. He’s also not creative enough to play as a number 10, but to his credit is the only one I think capable of scoring.
Luka - our only leader on the pitch after Cahill but is well out of sorts. After watching Leicester and more specifically Ndidi, it really showed someone like Luka up. Are we playing him in the right position or is he just out of sorts. For me he needs a spell on the sidelines because he’s not performing.
Schlupp - built like a 100m sprinter, yet often found inside His marker, never taking on his man, a dubious crosser of the ball and even with his rep for being the best finisher at the club, doesn’t score enough.
Townsend - a pure winger but again out of form, short on goals and confidence.
Wilf - the only player who can single handily win a game and is a starter, plus we have a million Wilf threads.
Then we have the backup
James McCarthy - looked ok at West Ham, is a direct replacement for Jimmy Mac, needs games but looks solid enough.
Meyer - I have a soft spot for Max. For me is a technically gifted player, always wants the ball, looks best out on the left linking with Wilf. Never really given a “good” run in the team, but when coming on, only has mins at the end of a game to attempt to make an impact.
Victor Camarasa - again not given a run, is a dead ball specialist, a fair player and has an eye for a goal.
So what do we do? We’re at the end of our terrible run of games and being only hopeful of picking up points we could easily not picked up any.
Interested to hear what people would do going forwards. We’ve played our narrow 442 and against the big teams we’ve gone for damage limitation, rather than having a go.
I’d like to see us take a chance on a more attacking team and attempt to bring Meyer or Camarsa into the first team and leave the likes of 6/10 Schlupp on the sidelines.

With Roy looking increasingly likely to extend his contract are we in danger of having no creative players come the end of next season?
What do we do between now and the transfer window, where we’re unlikely as per to strengthen?
