We definitely need to play a dedicated right back as it’s clear Trent has absolutely no interest in playing anything other than midfield, the teddy has been well and truly throw from the pram, not a great example from the vice captain.

{Ed025's Note - it’s a different mentality now Jaydee. Years ago if you said you don’t want to play in a position to the likes of Brian Clough his answer would be…”well there’s the door”. Too much player power these days mate if you ask me..

It's just not feasible to play DM and RB. It's not just a case of dropping back into defence like it is with a CB moving into a DM role. If Trent is needed to fill in at DM because we refuse to spend any money then we need to play a right back (like we were doing before Bradley picked up an injury) .
Also worth noting that on that showing Jones cannot play the 6 role either. I love him as a player but a number 6 he is not!

Yeh get used to these high scoring games. We’re not going to win anything this season but it’ll be a rollercoaster that’s for sure.

Jaydee, what the football are you on about? Where did you hear or read that Trent has no interest in playing anywhere but midfield? Where you on the pitch when he threw his toys out tha pram cos I saw him come off and none of that happened.

You can’t just come on here and start assassinating a player’s character just cos you didn’t get what you wanted from a dumb preseason game or cos the club is not doing what you wanted so please provide evidence to support your accusations.

I get what lads are saying, but a pre season game with the great BM, is def not a dumb game, think we all learned something from this game, Gomez Matip and the Greek lad look lost, like 1st game for Liverpool kind of thing, so with the injuries that will happen, so many games to play, just how many new players do we need .
really should have started this Finding new players two seasons ago .
doesnt look like we will bring in all the players that we need,
just hope that we score more goals than them .
still its going to be a great season, and its coming real soon .

Olired, so I’m assuming we’ve been watching a different player for the last season because the one I’ve been watching absolutely refuses to put his head on anything or put a decent tackle in, he’s been so far off the pace it’s been ridiculous, you just have to look at his body language to see how disinterested he is, it doesn’t take a genius to see he wants to play midfield which btw is exactly where I think he should be playing, friendly or no friendly no game is meaningless.

Jaydee, so you're a body language expert now? Oh please, nobonobody ever accused you of being a genius either so miss me with all that stuff.

Give it a rest, bro. I ain't buying any of that for a second. Mo Salah has sulked multiple times in games and nobody has ever said he is too big for his boots and has no interest in playing on the right wing or wherever. VVD was doing the same all thru last season and so did multiple players as well and many others. Did you level these accusations against VVD and the others, oh mighty Body Language expert or did you lose your powers when the others did the same thing you are attacking Trent for?

So essentially you have assasinated the character of a player you do not know, have NO background info about, have no concrete evidence of the wretched accusations you have levelled against him, deliberately did not attack others for doing the same thing and all you have is your own interpretation of "body language"?

Absolutely disgraceful. With fans like you, who needs rival fans when we have our own "fans" doing a bang up job of destroying our own players? Disgusting.

A proper 6 and good CBs behind him this inverted role will work. We're trying to play a system we don't have the players for and aren't buying the players for.
