Looks like we need a solution for Saturday, McNeill performed really well at wing back but a back 5 means keane starting. Could McNeill play left back? It's quite a step from wing back if he's never played there

Real quandary this.
Myko gone makes us more vulnerable on the left.
Move McNeil back with Gray in front and we are both more vulnerable and less dangerous.
Replace Myko with a centre-back and we also have problems (e.g. Holgate).
Um...I'd be tempted to move a defensively capable midfielder there - Garner, Onana ?

He could play Holgate on the right-side of the 3
He has done alright in a back 3 before, I know his name is mud right now
Yeah that is obviously the major problem with that, tho Gray has definitely got better with his work-rate since being here.
But is this really any worse than how Godfrey and Holgate have done since being used.
Godfrey and keane's confidence is completely shot now. And Holgate just doesn't realise he's not capable of performing any role.
You could bring Iwobi over to help the cover and put Gray on the right but I just don't like Gray on the right.
We get an early goal and we can gradually look at Introducing Onana just to completely solidify things up in the centre.
Anyway we know dyche wouldn't dream of it anyway....

Anyone reckon Mykolenko might actually play on Saturday?
The centre of the pitch is where this game will be won or lost, so no moving there...
If Godfrey's fit thats where the change will be coming..
Was thinking this myself.
Watching the press conference he didn’t actually 100% rule him out.
I very much doubt he’ll make this one I think the line was.

Another example of our joke of a recruitment policy.
Haven't produced a half decent LB backup who's available when needed. Oviedo being the last decent one I can recall if not for his leg break.
We also did not try to invest in a left footed CB that could have slotted into LB. Distin was 10 years ago!

The problem with playing Holgate, is that the mutt, Diego Costa ( if he started ) would have a field day winding Holgate up and we all know what happens then.
Yeah I'm really not sure what I think the best solution is, we don't even have a left footed cb as far as I'm aware

Keane in a back 3 with Mina doesn't worry me as much as Keane in a CB pairing without Mina tbf. I think it's the way we have to go unfortunately.

Could garner fill in at left back. Bring onana into centre midfield?
