I think we could have done with Kane against them. He played well against Bournemouth and I think he would have been a good option. Not fit enough presumably.
Hmmm, obviously Val knows better, but I don’t think Victor provides the mobility to do the backtracking to support midfield that Freiser and Chaplin provide. Anyway, looking forward to this
Dike from the bench not a bad option. Victor works the channels better, offers an attacking threat and works hard. All about keeping it tight and taking our chances.
Dike needed a rest, Swansea had his measure in the first game, targeted him and he became a bit of a passenger. Victor has the energy to press, and I'm sure we'll see Dike on at the usual 60 minute mark. I was hoping to see Chaplin start though
Big call that. Personally I’d have played Chaplin, given them something different, but Morris will be a very different proposition to Sollbauer, going to be a busy afternoon for their centre half’s.
