Why not? I’m happy with either of them getting time (obviously gutted about Digne being injured mind) but the fact Smalls is being linked with Bayern and Juve and already playing in the U23’s suggests it’s not too outrageous to consider him for the squad at minimum

He's only played like 20 mins for the U23's.
 

I don't think anyone is saying he's anywhere near the same level, just that we HAVE a LB as cover. Niels is promising but just unbelievably raw. He played well in a couple matches and played crap when the guy who had the ball most of the time refused to even look his direction.

Somenoe else said "it's either Delph or Niels", that means it's Niels as Delph can't play more than once a month.

Just glad that Richarlison is back, he’s such a good defensive wide player in terms of covering the full back. I think this will push Ancelotti into the back 3 formation much more often. Nkonkou as a wing back will have a lot less defensive responsibility than as a left back in a back 4.
 

Suspect Carlo might do something left field like play Iwobi as LWB and Coleman on the right. Delph not likely to get through a number of games given his injury record and Nkounkou untested.
