@StriderHiryu I saw your class analysis on BTG yesterday. I know Ayew gets pelters but we conceded both goals after he came off. 

 

I don't think it was just coincidence, Mavididi simply just doesn't cover Kristiansen enough which I think is why he isn't starting.

 

We conceded vs Fulham similarly where Kristiansen was too central, and there was no cover from the winger. What do you think? 

 

I think this is RVD's dilemma - to stick or twist with a more attacking shape that leaves us vulnerable. Maybe Riccy P can do both and give us more security on the right, while keeping Ayew on the left? Who would you favour on the left? Fatawu's defensive game was underrated, we miss him so much. 

Is it really a dilemma anymore?  It's not like we're watertight.  It's only luck how we haven't been pumped more times than we have.  We're looking like we're going to get cut adrift at any point so whilst there's a chance to do it, playing to our strengths instead of trying to patch up our weaknesses seems a better plan.  Continuing how we are seems like madness.

Good to see him out on the grass in training today! 

Wonder if he gets 45 for the 21's next two Mondays?

I feel like returning first teamers skip this sort of thing nowadays? Remember family night football having a real buzz if first teamer was back from injury and was playing for an hour.

Stol played a full 90 before he came back to replace Mads

we’ve got seagrave. Off the operating table for a full 90 seems to be the norm! What harm could it possibly cause?!

Didn't we have a sell out at Filbo for Man U reserves once because three United first team players were getting match fit after injury? 

 

I think I read it on here once.

I remember family night football at Filbert Street. It's what got me hooked on supporting LCFC as a kid. Those were the days.

 

And yes, it was more exciting when a first tenner played.

Ye was a big attendance for it. Wasn’t beckham playing.

I think it pre dated Beckham. One of the players was definitely Dion Dublin, returning after a leg break injury and there were two others too...sort of the Clayton Blackmore level. But it was enough stardust to get 15k in. Remarkable

I was there.

 

Gary Neville was playing, Ormondroyd gave him a really tough match. Can't remember who else played. 

 

Think we played a really strong side.

Ricardo isn’t improving us, injuries have ruined him. The sooner we realise this the better.

So you are saying JJ is a better option than Ricardo

I remember going too, Carling Stand, spent most of time throwing Maltesers at someone’s bald head about 6 rows down. The hi-jinx of youth eh. Apologise to the follically challenged middle aged bloke I hit on at least 6 occasions 

[filbertway]

Pretty sure I went to this FNF game as well, definitely remember going to one for my mates birthday which would have been around end of october/start of November.

Nope. I’m just saying we won’t be any better with Ricardo in the side. He definitely doesn’t have the legs to do half the running that JJ does, which is what RvN wants from his full-backs.

If I remember rightly, it was Ben Thornley playing that everyone was raving on about at the time

I remember his name. He had a nasty injury in the 90s which pretty much stopped his career.

 

" Thornley sued Marker and Blackburn Rovers for millions over the tackle, claiming a loss of earnings that resulted from him being kept out of the Manchester United first team because of the injury."
