pointed in turn to all the areas of the field where Granero had left his mark. Vertonghen was the pick of our players. His mobility and confidence on the ball were allowed full rein when he was moved to the left and he impressed. Caulker too looked ready for more first team action. Man United next week. No Rooney at least. COYS. Would like to see Vertonghen play at left back even when BAE is fit, with two from Kaboul. Dawson and Caulker as our centre half pairing. Reply Solidificate September 24, 2012 We are still uncertain and unbalanced in midfield and rely too heavily on the wngs to get out goals. If we are to have any chance against United we will need to park Adebayor behind Defoe and partnering Bale with a midfield trio of Dembele, Huddlestone and Sandro. The characteristically strong United midfield is there no longer and this is an area we can dominate (and we'll have to through to give us any chance). Finally we need some real pace on the wings to keep the likes of Nani and Valencia pinned back and so I#d play Jan as left back and Walker on the right. Caulker and Gallas will need to somehow control RVP. My prediction? We'd be lucky to get away with a point but if our midfield is sorted out then we ae going places.
