Already a big game this.

Reckon on a bigger pitch with more space we will carve these open with our new found pace.

 

3-1

You'd play a guy who played in the 8th tier last season who you've never seen play in a competitive game ahead of Mcatee and Randall ?....who's not a number 10????? LOL

On what I’ve seen so far yes, I’d give him a chance.

I'm a bit like that..

Always assumed it was a Attacking Midfielder.. But 10 used to be a striker

Seen second striker banded about recently too..

And right back! Tutu is never a defender, while he’s got a hole in his arse.

I won't disagree with that.  I can see why SS brings him on, because he's a naturally creative player and has great pace, but agreed we don't really have 2 RBs. 

Its just that the one RB we have is the only player in our squad that is immune from injury or suspension so we'd be buying someone to sit on the bench!

Can I acquaint you with the law of sod? 😀 We’ve been here before, with keepers.

We don’t know what SS is thinking. He might have Forrester primed as cover, when fit; or one of the youngsters. Right now, though, it’s a risk.

I've never met you and you might well be a double amputee as far as I know, but I'd play you ahead of Mcatee

The last Football Manager game I played a few years ago had positions I'd never heard of. Had no idea what a Trequartista was or an Enganche.

Never got past inside forwards for 8’s and 10’s myself but I suppose it’s and age thing?

Depends. Do they run in 'the channels' or 'stay in the hole' ?

I think they're more about knocking the ball into the "corridor of uncertainty"?

I know they have- I posted such when it was first revealed. 

As far as I'm aware, they haven't agreed to play the cup match.

Iirc, we had an issue about playing a cup match with a load of kids- thought I'm not sure.

They could quite easily make a statement by refusing to play it.
