ESR at #9 is a horrible idea, accentuating all his weaknesses while negating most of his strengths. Nketiah Martinelli or Laca up front
Agree for the most part. I’d go Nketiah because I can see a scenario where Martinelli is pushed up front due to lack of options, and it’ll negatively affect his overall game and development. Also might nudge us towards considering him as an option there next year when I think we should be bringing in two new strikers. Leave Martinelli where he is battling for a place with Smith-Rowe.
And Nketiah must be at the point where he’s wanting to put on a show for potential new clubs.
I’m going to miss this due to being at a wedding. It’s in the countryside too so no where nearby I’d catch it. I snuck off a few years back to watch a bit of a game against Liverpool during a friends wedding, but I was single then and now have a wife that would severely disapprove of that kind of behaviour.
