    Not even I would play Ozil as a wing back in my Team of the Week. Garth Crooks knows

    less about footy than me. Touch.

    And he's got Nacho on the left side of a back 3 when he played superbly as a normal LB.

    And he's got Willian as the other wing back. I thought he was an attacking type.

    So Garth Crooks has just stuck all the forwards into his team of the week. That's the sort of thing you do when you're a kid. Like playing Bergy next to Brady in a 2-man MF so you can have Titi and Wrighty up front and playing Santi at fullback. {Though didn't Spain actually do that one game?}

    I know Hector has scored a couple recently, but he looks so much better at FB than WB, where his attacking ability is a nice Brucey Bonus as opposed to being what he's meant to do all the time.

    Ditto Nacho.

    What worries me is why he brought on AMN for Nacho. I really hope AMN comes good, but he gets skinned at FB too regularly. Not his fault being told to learn a new position when making your debut, but why no Kola?

    AMN almost cost us a goal when he played the ball passed Mo to their attacker just outside the D.

    We're spending 150k p/w on Kola, and yet he's now behind an inexperienced, right-footed DM. I thought he'd played FB in Germany until the last season and was highly rated there.

    If he's low on confidence, then bring him on for 60 mins when we're 4-0 up.

    He seemed ok defensively to me this season, and he combined well with Alexis, so he should be able to mix it with Ozil and Jack.
