Meant 5 games, where you "have" to play with two DM's ie. both Le Coq and Schneider.
Therefore I suggested we go for one or both of Kondogbia/Gündogan now that we're shipping away Flamoney/Diaby. Our options would be great.
Which 5 games? I'd suggest doing it a lot more often. City and Chelsea home and away is 4, United away 5, Anfield, WHL 7. And thats before the Champions League where I'd do it in pretty much every game unless we're playing absolute minnows. Then you have cup games. Further more you will have times when you are ahead and want to bring on a second defensive mid. I'd rather thats not Flamini.
And thats without even factoring in that Coquelin shouldn't be playing 50+ games a season.
I was counting league games only, the big away ones. Also our 4141 has started working, so we could easily set up this way in many of the tough games and still be compact, like City away with Coq, Santi and Rambo.
As I said Kondogbia/Gündogan can both do what Schneiderlin can and more to a world class level in different roles ie. Kondogbia DM/B2B, Gündogan DLP/CAM.
Anyone thinking Schneiderlin is any good or even close to world class as an offensive B2B hasn't watched him play, guy has no vision, skill, dribbling, passing, finishing, etc. to be anything more than an average DM/DLP.
