It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread 13:12 - Aug 21 with 67677 views | FDC | In 20 odd years I don't think I've ever started one of these. I'm thinking (hoping) we will go with a three man midfield this weekend, with Morgan, Field and Varane. Coventry scored five last weekend! We can't afford to concede too early, and will need to score first to get anything out of it IMO. An early Coventry goal, supporters getting aggy... gulp. We all want a box-to-box no. 8, but these players are high value and not easy to sign on the cheap. He's young, and a bit slight, but I wonder if we need to start thinking about cultivating Morgan in this role as a long term solution? We know he can get stuck in, he's got bags of energy, and popped up with an absolute thunder-bastard last weekend. Poku being out actually makes this an easier decision to make, because we can play Chair and Dembele either side of Burrell (or Kone if fit) without agonizing over who gets left out. Presumably Dunne returns at RB, Esquardinho returns at LB, and Morrison and Mbengue start at CB. |  | | |  |

Clear message to players that form matters far less than 'profile' (ugh) of player you are. Rotten. |  |
