That is good news all round as it will be good to see Baldock & Kayal back for the U23s that will add to the squad strength and give CH options.

Nobody does that, so I am told.

Perhaps Gareth Southgate has been reading NSC as he is reported as wanting to play a 3-4-3 formation in Russia with 3 CB and 2 wing backs so at times it could be 5-2-1 if defending and 3-2-5 if attacking

Didnt Brown spend last season playing CM for Huddersfield so not alien to him like at Arsenal.

Hopefully not fit for this evening but will be for Sunday. If not drop Gross back to partner Stephens and bring in Izquierdo wide left and play March or possibly Brown in the Gross role is my suggestion.

Both Valencia and Young have successfully converted at Man Utd so why not Solly who has shown that he can defend when needed as opposed to AK who creates problems trying to dribble his way out of defensive situations.

I wonder if, when the day comes that Bruno is no longer automatic 1st choice (January/February) will CH consider playing 3 CB by bringing in Hunemier or Goldson and playing March and Schletto as wingbacks.

I think the big plus is that he will win and lay off more balls in the air plus his added strength in defending set pieces.

Obviously you know more than me as I only speak from watching the games and what I might do if I was in CH position.

This is compounded by the fact that we have nobody to take his place in midfield, with neither Kayal or Sidwell fit, had we it is possible it may have happened against Arsenal.

I havent watched the game and was basing this on the fact that he must get forward a lot more for them than for us but hopefully when Glenn is back that will change as he will give us more attacking options..

It was only a suggestion based on our shortage of strikers and the possibility that he would do a better job up front than Brown did. The problem would be replacing him in midfield alongside of Stephens unless Kayal or Sidwell were fit.

How will we fit them all in when Sam Baldock and Glen Murray are both back up and running?

How can you be so sure that CH wont consider it, especially if he scores for Netherlands again and Sam Baldock is still not ready to come in during TH ban.

We still play him as a CM I wonder if perhaps we should try swapping the playing roles of him and Gross
