Who do you think Ancelotti should be playing left midfield?

As much as i think he might get sold in the summer it's got to be Bernard, it's his best position, Digne always plays better with him in front, i just wish there was a bit more end product from him.

I think the options are so poor that it has to be Richarlison. He’s still effective from the left and it gives Kean a chance up top for the remainder of the season.

Depends really, if we persist with 4-4-2 then Bernard and Iwobi are the only options. Can't really afford to start Richarlison, DCL and Kean given our only other striker is Niasse.

Sigurdsson shouldn't be on the pitch in any position.

Gordon will only get game time if absolutely necessary.

Walcott can only play on the right.

Bernard and Iwobi seemed like a good headache to have back in Aug/Sep, would probably still go for Bernard over Iwobi though I'm not convinced by either. Granted they've each had injury woes and have both been very far from our worst players.

Bernard on the Left, Richy on the Right. Kean up top

At this point Iwobi or Gordon. Bernard is who he is. Not good enough. Maybe 2 or 3 games of Iwobi and then Gordon to finish the year if he doesn't do anything.

The other option is Richarlison so Kean can play, but I really like DCL and Richarlison up top.

Yes it seems the midfield has indeed left.

Oh, I see.

Bernard then.

Furey1878 · March 10, 2020

Honestly part of me thinks we should double with Baines and Digne on the left

ToffeeTim · March 10, 2020

Iwobi or Gordon

JokerJ · March 10, 2020

Bernard, plays better on the left and the team plays better when he's on the left.

To paraphrase Ghandi, when asked what he thought about Western Culture, "I think it would be a nice idea".

Faroy86580 · March 10, 2020

We need quality in midfield, so put Richy there and partner Kean with DCL

Bernard, also think we should be trying to get Iwobi in somewhere, to add pace and mobility to our static and slow midfield.

What strikes me is that with our midfield in the state it is, Iwobi is still getting next to no game time.

Of all our players he has fell the most down the pecking order since Carlos arrival. Ancelotti does not seem to fancy him at all.
