Almost like playing three at the back –* which you have been highly critical of – gives the freedom to do that ;)Quote:

However, until the last few games, when playing 3 at the back, he only played with one forward in a 3-4-3, and didn't play at least one of Ozil and Rambo, often playing neither.
You might remember my issue was not playing the sexy players. As for the defence, it didn't seem to matter how many we played alongside Mustafi, he'd bügger it up at least once a game, so I just hoped we'd out-score them.
If we get young Rob and Callum back, we actually have a decent set of options at CH with all fit, esp with Nacho-Kola allowing tactical formation changes.
What happened to the young Bubble from last season? He can't be any worse than Mustafi, can he?
Been injured for most of the season - back nowQuote:

Chambers will be sold. Not good enough for us but has done enough on loan that we'd get a decent fee for him from a midtable club. Monchi will get rid of him to reinvest in the squad.Quote:

Excellent. Let's give him a go instead of Mustafi. Even last night, the only problem we had came from a Mustafi fück up.Quote:

Definitely - think he's done well in that central midfield role and will get a chance somewhere elseQuote:

Would like a younger one, though, so we don't have to go through this every 3-4 years. How long have we had Kos for? Great signing. All the fückwits on here calling him Laurent Ligue Deux, ffs. Best CH since the Invincibles.
Are they playing him as a DM? He always said he thought that would be his best position long term.Quote:

Hope he does well. I always liked the lad. Pity it's not for us.
I imagine Chambers and Mustafi will be sold and the money put towards a better centre back. If Koscielny is willing to see out his contract he'll probably be 4th choice next year with Holding and Sokratis ahead of him plus a new signing. The other Greek will be 5th choice.Quote:

Firstly, I still Kos is the best we've got. How long his body and pace remain at this level, I dunno. I'd wouldn't surprise me if it does drop next season as you suggest.Quote:

Also, if we're gonna play 3 at the back, we need at least 6 CHs. Though we have that with Nacho.
I'd rather bring CC back and spunk the cash of filling the huge, Rambo shaped hole in MF.
I think he only plays 3 at the back because of the lack of natural wingers in the squad and not really having a left back like Bellerin (also because Bellerin is injured).Quote:

Nacho's an excellent LB. I think it's more about having no wide forwards. 4-3-3 is fine, but playing with a no.10 behind two strikers (to use our best players) means that we only have one wide man on each side and therefore need the 3rd defender to stop us getting overrun by 2 on 1s when they attack us down the flanks.Quote:
